Hi,
not that it really matters to me since I don't have a diesel tug, But I have been reading the news relating to a world-wide shortage of AdBlue.
Now, as I understand it, AdBlue is an additive to reduce emissions. Further, if your tug runs out of AdBlue, the ECU can put your engine into limp mode. Obviously not a good thing, especially if you are out in the middle of nowhere.
So, my question is: If you run out of AdBlue, could one fill the AdBlue tank with another liquid to stop the ECU from putting the tug into limp mode?
As I understand it, AdBlue is mostly de-ionizwd water with urea dissolved in it.
take care
Mike
