How to top-up Adblue
AdBlue® is stored in a separate tank which you will need to ensure is kept topped-up.
Important: AdBlue gets its own tank which is identified by a blue cap. Do not try to put AdBlue directly into your fuel tank.
- Look out for the AdBlue message and warning light
If your AdBlue level is low, a notification will appear in your vehicle’s information cluster display, and a warning light will illuminate on your dashboard.
Be advised that your diesel engine is not permitted to operate without AdBlue. Once the engine is turned off, a re-start is prevented until your AdBlue level has been refilled.
- Locate the tank filler cap
The AdBlue tank filler is located beside (or under) the diesel fuel filler cap on your Ford vehicle. The AdBlue filler can be identified by its blue cap and will also be labelled.
- Fill up using the AdBlue container
Use your AdBlue container to fill the AdBlue tank. Information on capacity of your Diesel Exhaust Fluid (AdBlue) tank can be found in your Owner`s Manual.
How Often do I Need to top up AdBlue?
How often you need to refill your AdBlue tank will depend on several things, including your vehicle model and engine size, your AdBlue usage, and driving style. However, a tank of AdBlue can usually last between 2330 miles and 6835 miles following an AdBlue consumption between 1% and 6% of the diesel fuel consumption*.
*Figure based on average usage on a Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel for lower mileage and higher percentage and Transit 2.0L Diesel for higher mileage and lower percentage.
