Do gas stations provide urea refills?
2 Answers
Gas stations do provide urea refills. Here are some relevant introductions about gas stations: 1. Introduction to gas stations: A gas station is a refueling station that provides retail gasoline and engine oil for cars and other motor vehicles, typically offering fuel oil, lubricants, etc. 2. Precautions at gas stations: Due to the flammable, explosive, volatile, leak-prone, and static-prone nature of petroleum products sold at gas stations, safety is the top priority. Open flames are strictly prohibited at gas stations, as are any operations that may generate sparks. It is forbidden to add gasoline to a car's carburetor or oil drum. All vehicles must turn off their engines before refueling, and all hazardous materials are strictly prohibited from entering the station.
I've been driving diesel vehicles for over a decade, and I often see urea refueling stations on long-distance routes, especially at large highway service areas or truck-specific stations. AdBlue is the automotive urea solution, primarily used for diesel engine exhaust treatment to reduce pollutant emissions. Every time I finish refueling, I routinely check the urea level; if it's low, there are dedicated blue pumps at the station for refilling—simple operation, just unscrew the cap and insert the hose. However, smaller gas stations might not have it, so you'd need to find a chain-branded store. A refill costs around 100 yuan, and since the usage isn't heavy, don't overfill to avoid spills. I usually keep a barrel in my car just in case the station doesn't have any, so I can handle it myself. This stuff is crucial for the environment—not refilling can affect vehicle power and may even trigger engine limitations. So, it's best for owners to check maps beforehand to see which stations offer this service, saving a wasted trip.
