Key Features and Benefits
Genuine AdBlue® Product
AusBlue is a genuine AdBlue® Diesel Exhaust Fluid formulated for vehicles and machinery requiring AUS 32.
The AdBlue® trade mark identifies qualifying Diesel Exhaust Fluid supplied within the applicable VDA licensing and quality-control framework. The product should not be confused with unlicensed or incorrectly formulated aqueous urea solutions.
Australian Made
AusBlue AdBlue® is manufactured in Australia, providing commercial operators with access to a locally produced bulk Diesel Exhaust Fluid.
Australian manufacture supports efficient availability for transport, agricultural, construction, mining, workshop and industrial customers requiring regular bulk supply.
High-Purity AUS 32 Formulation
The fluid contains a nominal concentration of 32.5% high-purity automotive-grade urea combined with 67.5% demineralised water.
The controlled concentration is necessary for the correct chemical reaction within SCR exhaust after-treatment systems. It also supports accurate dosing by the vehicle’s pumps, injectors and electronic controls.
SCR systems contain sensitive components, including pumps, dosing modules, injectors, sensors and catalysts. Contaminated, diluted or incorrectly formulated fluid may cause crystallisation, deposits, system warnings, dosing faults and premature component damage.
ISO 22241 and DIN 70070
AusBlue AdBlue® meets the applicable performance requirements of ISO 22241 and DIN 70070.
ISO 22241 establishes requirements for product quality, composition, testing, handling, storage, transportation, dispensing and equipment compatibility.
DIN 70070 is a recognised specification associated with the composition and quality of AUS 32 aqueous urea solution used in SCR systems.
Maintaining product quality throughout storage and dispensing is essential. Contamination introduced after manufacture can affect the fluid even when the original product met the applicable standards.
Economical Bulk Supply
The 1000-litre IBC format is designed for customers with regular or high-volume Diesel Exhaust Fluid consumption.
Bulk supply can provide a lower cost per litre than smaller containers while reducing the number of individual packages that must be handled, stored and disposed of.
A central IBC dispensing point can service multiple vehicles and machines throughout a fleet, workshop, transport depot, farm or industrial facility.
Ready to Use
AusBlue AdBlue® is supplied at the correct AUS 32 concentration and is ready to dispense directly into a vehicle or machine’s dedicated Diesel Exhaust Fluid reservoir.
No dilution, additives or chemical treatment are required. Adding water, antifreeze or another substance can change the concentration and introduce harmful contamination.
Suitable for Dedicated Dispensing Systems
The IBC can be connected to a compatible Diesel Exhaust Fluid dispensing system incorporating a pump, suction connection, delivery hose, flow meter and automatic or manual nozzle.
All components must be manufactured from materials suitable for AUS 32. The equipment must remain clean and be reserved exclusively for Diesel Exhaust Fluid.
Supports Fleet Availability
Many SCR-equipped vehicles display a dashboard warning when the Diesel Exhaust Fluid level becomes low.
Continued operation without sufficient fluid may result in reduced engine performance, operating restrictions or prevention of engine restart.
Maintaining a 1000-litre supply on site allows fleet operators to incorporate fluid checks and top-ups into servicing, pre-start inspections and routine maintenance programs.
Suitable Applications
AusBlue AdBlue® 1000L is suitable for compatible SCR-equipped:
- Prime movers and heavy trucks
- Light and medium commercial vehicles
- Buses and coaches
- Commercial vans and diesel utes
- Agricultural tractors
- Harvesting machinery
- Construction equipment
- Earthmoving machinery
- Mining equipment
- Forklifts and material-handling equipment
- Waste-collection vehicles
- Municipal and council fleets
- Stationary diesel engines
- SCR-equipped diesel generators
- Transport and logistics fleets
- Commercial workshops
- Fleet-maintenance facilities
Not every diesel engine requires Diesel Exhaust Fluid. Confirm the vehicle or equipment requirements using the owner’s manual, filler-cap information or manufacturer’s service instructions before use.
How AdBlue® Works
Diesel engines can produce nitrogen oxides during combustion. Selective Catalytic Reduction technology is designed to reduce these emissions after combustion has occurred.
AdBlue® is stored in a dedicated reservoir separate from the diesel fuel tank. During operation, the vehicle’s electronic control system injects a measured quantity into the hot exhaust stream before the SCR catalyst.
The exhaust heat converts the aqueous urea solution into ammonia. Inside the catalyst, the ammonia reacts with nitrogen oxides and converts them primarily into nitrogen and water.
The dosing process is controlled automatically by the vehicle. Consumption depends on engine design, load, exhaust temperature, operating conditions, duty cycle and manufacturer calibration.
AdBlue® is not a diesel-fuel additive, engine lubricant or injector cleaner. Its function is limited to the SCR exhaust after-treatment system.

Handling and Storage Advice
Store the IBC upright on a stable, level and load-rated surface in a clean, dry and well-ventilated location.
Keep the outlet valve closed and protected when not connected to dispensing equipment. Ensure all openings, seals and fittings remain securely closed to prevent contamination and leakage.
Protect the IBC from direct sunlight and prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures. Store it indoors or beneath suitable weather protection where practical.
Use only dedicated pumps, hoses, fittings, flow meters and nozzles suitable for AUS 32. Equipment previously used for diesel, lubricating oil, coolant or chemicals must not be used unless professionally cleaned and confirmed compatible.
Even small quantities of diesel, oil, grease, coolant, tap water, dust, rust or incompatible metals can affect product quality.
AdBlue® begins to freeze at approximately –11°C. Freezing does not normally make uncontaminated product unusable. Allow frozen fluid to thaw completely and naturally before dispensing. Do not add water, antifreeze or another substance.
Never attempt to move a full IBC manually. Use a forklift, pallet jack or other appropriately rated materials-handling equipment operated by trained personnel.
Inspect the IBC regularly for impact damage, bulging, leaking valves, broken seals or signs of contamination.
Wear suitable gloves and eye protection when connecting dispensing equipment or cleaning spills. Prevent uncontrolled discharge into soil, drains, stormwater systems or waterways.
Dispensing Instructions
Confirm that the vehicle requires Diesel Exhaust Fluid meeting ISO 22241.
Install a clean and compatible IBC dispensing system according to the equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Reserve the complete system exclusively for AUS 32.
Inspect the outlet valve, pump and fittings before connection. Attach the pump or suction assembly securely before opening the IBC valve.
Locate the vehicle’s dedicated Diesel Exhaust Fluid filler, commonly identified by a blue cap. Switch off the engine and follow the manufacturer’s filling procedure.
Dispense the required quantity without overfilling. Return the nozzle to a clean holder after use and protect the equipment from rain, dust and contamination.
