I went into the dealer today to buy a 2L bottle of ADBLUE - Seems that from my research most of you buy the 2L bottle and cut the top to use as a funnel for future fills.
That being said, the parts guy convinced me that it was a bad idea. He states that when you use the funnel you're introducing air into the mixture while pouring it in, which in the long run will form crystallization in the tank and clog the system. He says he's seen this numerous times because people are using the funnel system instead of the airtight adapter.
In the last year they introduced a new adapter for the 10L jugs of ADBLUE - its roughly a 2-3ft hose with connectors on both ends to go into the jug and tank. With the 2L bottle priced at $20 and the 10L jug priced at $25, I would be stupid not to get the 10L.
Now the question - is he right about the air mixture? Thinking about it now, there will always be air in the mixture (the hose itself that it's flowing through is initially filled with air, furthermore, the bottle itself has air in it - it's not airtight.
Interestingly he also told me that I don't need ADBLUE, and that all DEF fluid is exactly the same (didn't think the dealer would ever tell me that lol).
What do you think?
