DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL. The UREA freezes at under -11
° C. Although the system is designed
to operate below the freezing point
of the UREA, it is advisable not to fill the
tank beyond the maximum level
because if the UREA freezes the
system can be damaged.
If the UREA is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium, immediately
clean the area with water and use
absorbent material to collect the fluid
that has been spilled on the ground.
Do not try to start the engine if
UREA was accidentally added to the
Diesel fuel tank, this can result in
serious engine damage, contact
Dealership.
Use AdBlue only according to DIN
70 070 and ISO 22241-1. Other fluids
may cause damage to the system: also
exhaust emissions would no longer
comply with the law. The distribution
companies are responsible for the
compliance of their product. Observe
the precautions of storage and
maintenance, in order to preserve the
initial qualities. The manufacturer of the
vehicle does not recognise any
guarantee in case of malfunctions and
damage caused to the vehicle due
to the use of urea (AdBlue) not in
accordance with regulations.
Any introduction of diesel fuel inside
the tank AdBlue, causes irreversible
damage to the pumping unit circuit
AdBlue.
Do not add additives to AdBlue. Do
not dilute AdBlue with tap water as
this may damage the system of
purification of exhaust gases.
In case of damage to the sewage
system of exhaust gas resulting from
the use of additives / tap water, the
introduction of diesel fuel, or at least by
not fulfilling the requirements, the
warranty expires.
AdBlue tank topping (UREA) in cold
environments
Since AdBlue (UREA) starts to freeze
around the -11 °C, the vehicle is
equipped with an automatic system of
heating UREA that allows the system to
function properly at temperatures
below -11 °C.
If the vehicle remains idle for a long
period at temperatures below the -11
°C, the UREA in the tank might freeze.
If the tank UREA was filled beyond
the maximum level and freezes, it can
be damaged; for this reason it is
advisable not to exceed the maximum
level of the tank.
Pay extra attention to avoid exceeding
the maximum level when you use
portable containers for topping up.Fuel storage - Diesel Fuel
132)
In case of the storage of massive
amounts of fuel, good maintenance is
essential. The fuel contaminated with
water favours the proliferation of
"microbes". These microbes create a
"slime" that can clog the filter system
and fuel pipes. Remove water from the
supply tank and regularly replace the
filter pipe.
NoteWhen a diesel engine runs out of
fuel, air is blown through the fuel
system.
AdBlue storage (UREA)
AdBlue (UREA) is considered a very
stable product with a long shelf life. If is
stored at temperatures between -12
°C and 32 °C, it can be stored at least
for a year.
Since UREA can freeze at temperatures
at or below -11 °C, the system was
designed to operate also in these cold
environments, thanks to an automatic
heating system which operates when
the engine is started.
NoteWhen you need to keep the
AdBlue (UREA), it is important to know
that:
