Diesel Exhaust Fluid for Volvo

Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) or AdBlue is made of urea and deionized water which is injected into the exhaust stream to react with harmful emissions (NOx) and turn them into N2 and H2O. It is a technology that has been used for several years in commercial diesel trucks, but now it is seen in passenger car engines as well. Azure chemical provides DEF for Califonia’s Volvo. This solution is stored in a separate tank in different vehicles.

How much do Volvo cars consume AdBlue?

All cars that require AdBlue have different varieties of consumption amounts of DEF. The consumption depends on different matters, such as driving style. Volvo cars usually have a full tank and their capacity of them is around 11.5 to 16 liters.

What happened if AdBlue Volvo runs out?

There are some instruments for measuring the amount of AdBlue in the car. When there is just enough fluid remaining for 1,500 miles of driving, the warning light will turn on. The car will continue to run even if it runs out of AdBlue, but it will not restart after it is switched off. For continuing the journey, you have to add at least 3 liters/ 1,500 miles of DEF for Volvo.

Refill AdBlue for Volvo

Checking the AdBlue level regularly, help you to refill the solution before it is run out. The driver display shows the level and quality of diesel exhaust fluid and the message is shown in it if the car finds defects. Although refilling the AdBlue tank depends on temperature and driving style, it should be done several times between service intervals.

Whenever Volvo AdBlue pump is not available, AdBlue tank connectors are useful instruments that you can top up the chemical solution without the risk of spillage.
