Adblue Removal

[Confused]

Good morning everyone,

It's been a while since I last posted on here. But once again I require the help of the experts. For whatever reason I need to drain my adblue tank. I have looked on line, tried putting a line down the filler neck but it just doesn't feel right. There seems to be something stopping the pipe going down and there are what I can only describe as ridges. Does anybody know if there is a drain plug or do I just persevere with the filler neck and syphon it out.

Thanks in advance to any and all who can help

Simon

I guess what you are feeling is crystallised Adblue, which is a common problem in such systems, and presumably why you want to drain the tank.

In theory Adblue, which is principally urea, is very soluble in water so it should be possible to flush the crystals out with a stream of cold water. However I have never had anything to do with Adblue in my car so I do not know how practical the idea would be.
