Does Tuano need to add urea?
2 Answers
Tuano needs to add urea. Definition of automotive urea: It is a liquid used in SCR technology to reduce nitrogen oxide pollution in diesel vehicle exhaust. The role of automotive urea is mainly to purify exhaust gases in vehicles. It can react with nitrogen oxides in the exhaust to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. Automotive urea also optimizes engine performance and fuel consumption. Adding urea is to treat NOx nitrogen oxides in the exhaust. Without urea, the exhaust emissions cannot meet the standards. Automotive urea refill cycle: Automotive urea should be refilled approximately every 2,000 kilometers. For every 100 liters of diesel, 3 to 5 liters of urea are used. The usage of urea is equivalent to 3% to 5% of fuel consumption. When the urea level drops below 20%, it is necessary to promptly add automotive urea.
I've been driving the Tuya van for hauling goods at construction sites for several years. Diesel vehicles generally require urea because it's used to treat exhaust emissions. If you don't add it, the vehicle is prone to alarms, with warning lights appearing on the dashboard, and in severe cases, power may be limited, making it hard to drive fast. For light passenger vehicles like the Tuya, the frequency of urea refills is about every 5,000 kilometers. Just use standard AdBlue bottles; don't cut corners with inferior products to avoid clogging the system. While driving, always keep an eye on the urea tank's fluid level. If it's empty, go to a service station to refill it immediately—don't wait until you're stranded on the road. The maintenance cost isn't high, but neglecting this small matter can lead to big trouble, like suddenly slowing down on the highway, which is quite dangerous. Remember, during regular maintenance, ask the mechanic to check whether the urea pump and nozzle are functioning properly.
