Re: Adblu

Guys, I am sure this may have been covered but just to confirm I bought a 10L container of AdBlu from the local Shell station, I simply connected the funnel supplied with the container, very similar to the classic petrol can tube. I needed to 'wiggle' the tube a little to allow the air to get in to ...

I have explained that I am as keen as they are to work together ...
