Tips to help you look after your AdBlue^® storage tanks

If you want your AdBlue^® to remain safe and usable, then you need to keep your AdBlue^® storage tank in good condition. Here are some tips on how to ensure your storage tank stores your AdBlue^® supplies safely for many years to come.

Check your AdBlue^® once a month

While keeping your AdBlue^® storage in good condition is important, it’s even more important that the AdBlue^® itself is well-maintained. Try to check it at least once a month to make sure that it is still in the same condition as when it was delivered.

AdBlue^® can become contaminated quite easily, which can lead to bugs. In a large number of cases, the contamination is visible to the naked eye, so it is always worth checking your supply on a monthly basis to assess its condition.

Check for cracks in your AdBlue^® storage

If any cracks emerge on your AdBlue^® tanks, it can cause a leak. If a leak goes unnoticed, then it could cost you a lot of money to get the tank and the AdBlue^® supply replaced.

When you are checking the condition of your AdBlue^®, check the tank to make sure no cracks have started to form. If they have, then it may be a good idea to purchase a new storage tank before your supply starts draining away.

Get your AdBlue^® professionally checked

While you may feel confident that your supply is in good condition, there is always the chance that there could be some form of contamination hiding beneath the surface.

Try to get your AdBlue^® tested at least once a year by professionals to avoid missing a potential contamination. This will help you keep your supply in the best condition throughout its life.

Keep your tank safe and secure

The security of your AdBlue^® storage should always be a priority. The risk of theft is always there, but there are things you can do to limit the chances of that happening.

Using locks on your AdBlue^® storage tank is a good place to start. Just the sight of them will be enough to deter most potential thieves. If it’s possible, you could even keep the tank in a position where it is visible from a window at your place of business. Then you will be able to see the tank and check that it is okay.

Choose a reputable AdBlue^® supplier

Never order AdBlue^® from somewhere that seems untrustworthy. The last thing you need is a delivery of AdBlue^® that is in bad condition or has already been contaminated. Trying to get a refund from the provider and replacing your supply could cost a lot of time and money.

Just as you would when purchasing your fuel, do a little research to find the right AdBlue^® supplier for you.

If you do research online, make sure you look for the following:

• Check the supplier’s reviews online, such as Google, Facebook, etc.
• Check their delivery coverage to ensure they can supply your location
• Check their contact details, so you can ask any questions

If you can’t find all of the information you need on their website, don’t be afraid to get in touch with them. Calling them doesn’t mean you have committed to a purchase, so you should feel free to ask any questions you have.
