Where is the urea solution added in a car?
2 Answers
Urea solution is added into a dedicated urea storage tank in the car, located near the fuel tank. Here is relevant information about automotive urea: 1. Function of automotive urea: Generally, adding urea to vehicles primarily aims to reduce exhaust emissions, as diesel engines emit nitrogen oxides and carbon particles. 2. National regulations: Due to significant harm to humans and the environment, China's National IV standard implemented in 2008 mandates the use of automotive urea in the emission reduction systems of diesel vehicles.
I've been driving a diesel truck for over ten years. That urea solution is mainly used for exhaust treatment, usually added to a dedicated urea tank under the hood with a blue cap marked AdBlue. It's easy to locate, near the fuel tank or on the side of the vehicle, but be careful not to add it to the wrong place like gasoline or coolant, as incorrect filling can damage the system and limit speed. I once forgot to add it and only realized when the dashboard light came on, so I rushed to the service station to fix it. This stuff is good for the environment, reducing harmful emissions. During regular maintenance, I check the fluid level periodically and top it up with the special solution when low to keep the vehicle performing well. Safe driving is crucial.
