There is a clip on this link explaining how the AdBlue injection works.

PS. I'm not promoting JLR but just noticed that they have some interesting stuff on the subject.....................and I'd rather top up a separate tank every few thousand miles than constantly worry that the EGR might be getting clogged up every time I go on a short journey......or the weather is damp! |
Did you notice that the Euro 6 levels rules don't apply to the Defender as it's classed as a commercial vehicle. Also pays different tax. £125 a year. Same class in the USA doesn't have to meet the pollution regs either. All a big cynical joke from the "outraged" media.
