Ad Blue

[JaneyLellen]

Just topped up the Ad Blue but found pouring it really difficult. It was a Halfords one 10litre. I’m a short, 69 year old woman with little hands and not much grip.
Are there better pouring brands or does anyone have any tips to do it more easily?
Never mind Ad Blue, air was blue.

Buy 5 litre containers with an included spout. Or find a service garage with it on tap.

Wrap some duct tape around the middle of the container and create a handle midway, and/or find something the same height as the filler to rest the container on.

Thank you, brilliant ideas. I didn’t know you coukd get it on tap and the duct tape handle is genius!

If you can’t find a petrol station with Adblue pump you can get it in both 5 and 4 litre containers although the cost is slightly more than a 10 litre container 5 & 4 are much more manageable. Tesco for example sell 4 litre containers. Always remember to check the date on the containers as Adblue has a shelf life. I was in Halfords last week (August) they had dozens of 10 litre containers on display, all out of date, dated January, May & July all 2026.

A service station with an Ad Blu pump is much easier and more accurate. Might cost a little more but it's not something you fill up very often.

I believe the date on the container is the manufacture date. I bought 10l from Amazon last week - the date was from the week prior. It is literally packed and shipped.

Morrisons had it on tap at my local store. Ended up using it because my Amazon ordered delviery was a day late. A touch more expensive than packaged, which makes no sense, but easy to get hte exact amount with no effort required. It was very slow delivery though. Felt like several minutes to get my 9 litres.
