Add Blue questions.

I just commented on the Add Blue needed on our new Tin Can and seems more of us are required to buy the stuff at an incredible price for what it consists of.
Basically distilled water and ****. If so it's a remarkable con in more plastic containers polluting up the planet? :eek:

I find it amazing that the engine will stop if not topped up with this Add Blue. OK we get warnings although I have no idea how big the tank is or how much is in it.
Is it possible to dilute it will more distilled water? How much accuracy is recorded? Does it really do anything beneficial for our environment?

After seeing it advertised online from €18 to €58 a container, we came across it in the local and not so cheap supermarket at €12.99 for 5L.

Yes point taken Pat but we have only seen it locally at €5 a litre so far. I also don't know how much we are likely to use in a year. But I was just wondering as I end up with gallons of distilled water from the dehumidifiers.

I was just asking Terry. I don't go by the book if the book sounds illogical.

Yeah, more shelf life waste.

No Jan, you don't. Its for recent diesels and usually there will be a smaller 'blue' filler cap next to the Diesel one.

Ah thanks ray. Maybe we just need to mix distilled water and antifreeze. Oh just a thought as antifreeze is usually blue or green.
