I believe that Adblue that is spilled on any metal crystalises, but has a corrosive effect under the crystals. So beware. It is not normaly harmful to the skin but could be to people with sensitive skin.

Quite right Alan. Stobarts fleet are using Adblu. I`ve seen the crystals formed around the filler neck of the adblu tank.
Regards Mike.

It seems that using Adblue significantly reduces the VED (road tax) cost.

Just had a dedicated pump installed in our depot for it.
All our new gritters use it.

Adblue
C-CPTN, I have been driving in New Zealand for 14 years and have never heard of Adblue, but judging from some of the trucks we see on our roads this might be a good idea!!
