Mine goes through AdBlue like there is no tomorrow but that is towing a 2000kg caravan.

Had to top up in Spain and bought it from a supermarket, 10l 16.95€. Coming up through France got the warning saying 1000 miles but within 200 miles it was saying top up now so filled up in an autoroute filling station 16l 6.24€ from a pump.

gerrymac, I have been told the Shell garage in Rosyth has it on draft but have not checked as mine went back to Lloyds for recalibration and they filled it and I have done very few miles since then.

I am curious…. What made the refill a pain in the proverbial?

You can't fill it quickly. You have to pour quite slowly and when you're holding a 10 litre thing you end up spilling loads because it's a pig to handle (it took 18ish litres in the end). I'd been filling up at my local LR dealer prior to this so lesson learned and all that. Ferrari F430 Spider F1

I spent a few minutes on Google and thought that might be the case but the station on Halbeath road states that it has a pump for passenger cars. Comes up as a Gulf station but also as Shell.

The RRS handbook (2021 MY) does not recommend using commercial vehicle filling pumps:

Does that imply that some service stations have low pressure/volume AdBlue dispensing pumps? MY21.5 HSE 221KW D16

As I think has been said earlier, pour the ad-blue into a watering can, its then dead easy. My experience was that it needed to be topped up every 6/7k miles so no great issue. I've now switched to petrol and got rid of all the diesel concerns. Very Happy Tim

I used a commercial pump in France and there was not a lot of pressure but it did cut out a lot.
