Why is AdBlue management important?

AdBlue Management

While the daily running of your business of company probably takes up most of your time, fuel management can easily be forgotten. However, if AdBlue is something that your fleet of vehicles need, then managing your levels of this diesel exhaust fluid is essential. But what is AdBlue, and how can this be managed effectively? Well, here at Compass Fuel Oils, we are the UK’s leading provider of fuel oils like red diesel and AdBlue, as well as lubricants and greases. And this is our guide to everything you should know about the importance of AdBlue management.

What is AdBlue?

AdBlue is designed to remove harmful pollutants, particularly nitrogen dioxide and other nitrogen oxides, from diesel exhaust gases. This can dramatically reduce the amount of pollution produced by large, heavy diesel vehicles like farming machinery and lorries and trucks. As part of an EU initiative to protect air quality, it is now a standard part of a wide range of diesel vehicles.

So, why is AdBlue management important?

Managing your levels of AdBlue is essential for a number of reasons. These include:

  • Keeping your vehicles up and running- if the AdBlue levels drop too low, or run out completely, your vehicle may completely stop working. From farming and plant machinery to heavy goods vehicles, AdBlue is a necessary and vital diesel exhaust fluid, without which, your vehicle will not start. This can cause delays and problems for the operation of your business, and it can even result in some of your vehicles needing expensive repairs. Correct management of your AdBlue levels will prevent this.
  • Balancing accounts and budgeting- with a clear idea of your AdBlue consumption, and the amount left in storage, or inside each vehicle, you can have more information to develop a clear and precise budget, planning for the purchase of more AdBlue when necessary. This also means that you wont be caught by surprise and run out of AdBlue suddenly, causing problems for your finances. In addition, you will be much less likely to order too much AdBlue accidentally, that you will then need to store safely and securely.

How can we help here at Compass Fuel Oils?

At Compass Fuel Oils, we can help you be sure never to run out of fuel, or AdBlue again. We offer professional, high performance fuel monitors that can help your company with fuel management. These fuel monitors are incredibly accurate and precise and use wireless radar to transmit information regarding the amount of fuel in any tank.
