Our adblue tanks
Tanks R Us has a wide range of AdBlue tanks from bowsers for safe transportation, tech tanks and fuel stores for storage, and dispensers. We stock a wide range of AdBlue tanks in different sizes from 220 to industrial 10,000 litre capacity - offering a huge range of choice depending on your requirements. Whatever your AdBlue needs, Tanks R Us has something for everyone.
Tanks R Us only wants you to have reliable and high-quality tanks and that’s why we have a great range of products from market-leading manufacturers Harlequin, Swimer, Titan, Atlas, and Deso as well as our very own, equally high-quality products.
Why do I need a plastic adblue tank?
AdBlue is extremely corrosive to most metals like mild steel and aluminium, therefore the AdBlue tanks we provide are constructed from high-density polyethylene plastic which means they are corrosion resistant, while protecting against impact damage and UV rays with a heat resistance index of eighty Celsius.
In other words, the AdBlue tanks you find here are highly reliable and durable. To provide an additional layer of security, each tank is bunded (double layered) so if any accidents were to occur, your AdBlue is secure and so are you. High-density polyethylene has a life expectancy of over a decade when cared for, so you won’t need to replace it in a hurry, giving you a true return on investment for AdBlue storage.

FAQs
What Is AdBlue?
AdBlue is the trading name for AUS32 (Aqueous Urea Solution 32.5%). It is a liquid, which is injected into exhaust gases of modern diesel engines, as part of a post-combustion cycle. AdBlue reduces the volume of harmful NOx (Nitrous Oxides) in vehicle emissions, therefore reducing the negative environmental impacts of vehicle emissions. The chemical reaction which AdBlue is required for, takes place within a special piece of equipment called an SCR. The requirements to reduce vehicles harmful emissions (pollutants) are specified in European legislation – Euro 4, 5 and 6.
In order to reach the reduced levels of pollutants as defined within current and future European legislation, vehicle manufacturers are now required to incorporate either SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) or EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) technology. The use of AdBlue has increased significantly as a result of frequently updated European legislation, which requires its use in manufacturing and in commercial fleet activity. At Tanks R Us, we offer a range of AdBlue tanks that you can buy or alternatively hire.
What Is SCR?
SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology is required in vehicles which will carry an AdBlue storage tank in addition to the standard fuel tank. The SCR technology is responsible for creating a process whereby AdBlue is transferred from the storage tank and injected under pressure into the exhaust gases, where a series of chemical reactions take place to eventually reduce noxious exhaust emissions.
What Is Required To Store AdBlue?
AdBlue is extremely susceptible to contamination. It is therefore of paramount importance that it is stored in a containment system which protects it from such threats, and which maintains the quality and integrity of AdBlue at optimal levels. The de-ionised elements of AdBlue can draw ions from the materials in which it is stored. This can change the chemical composition of the AdBlue and causes salts to form, which in turn clogs the ceramic head on the SCR. A common cause of premature SCR failures is incorrect storage conditions and materials used in storing AdBlue. Inert materials should always be used to store AdBlue.
Tanks R Us AdBlue tanks are all fully compliant with AdBlue storage guidelines and regulations.
What Regulations Apply to The Storage of AdBlue?
The European regulations surrounding the use of AdBlue are frequently changing. However, at present, the relevant regulations applicable within the UK are:
ISO22241-1 Standard for AUS32
ISO22241-2 Standard for Quality Testing of AdBlue
ISO22241-3 Standard for Handling, Transportation and Storage of AdBlue
All Tanks R Us AdBlue tanks are fully compliant with the above regulations.
