By the side of the road...
A very good analogy Chris.. Imagine how stinky and objectionable it would be by then...

Now, doesn't that sound absolutely delightful (has anyone invented an actual sarcasm emoticon yet!)What is Selective Catalytic Reduction?
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is an advanced active emissions control technology system that injects a liquid-reductant agent through a special catalyst into the exhaust stream of a diesel engine. The reductant source is usually automotive-grade urea, otherwise known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). The DEF sets off a chemical reaction that converts nitrogen oxides into nitrogen, water and tiny amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2), natural components of the air we breathe, which is then expelled through the vehicle tailpipe.
Is that a euphanism for concentrated p*ssautomotive-grade urea

See above Jim!

So, if I understand correctly, this is what Adblue does...
Regards NeilThe size of the AdBlue® tank fitted to your car will vary depending on which Volkswagen model you have, therefore the interval between top-ups will vary. In addition, many factors such as mileage, journey type, driving style and environmental conditions can influence how much AdBlue® is consumed. A passenger car can consume approximately 1.5 litres of AdBlue® every 620 miles (1.0–1.5 litres for the Passat and Passat Estate).

Which is how they come by their supplies!CitroJim wrote:If it is expensive then someone is taking the p!!!
