The guide starts with the question most buyers get wrong: which pack size. Here is the per-litre comparison from our published prices, so you can see why it matters.
| Pack | Price ex GST | Per litre | Usually suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 L | $19.50 | $1.95 | Utes, vans, occasional top-ups |
| 20 L | $31.50 | $1.58 | Small fleets, workshops |
| 210 L drum | $185 | $0.88 | Farms, small depots with a drum pump |
| 1,000 L IBC | $890–$990 | $0.89–$0.99 | Fleets using 200 L a month or more |
A fleet using 400 L a month pays $7,560 a year ex GST in 20 L packs, against $4,560 in timber-base IBCs. That is $3,000 a year before delivery, just from the pack size. The guide covers what you need on site to make the change: a forklift or pallet jack, shade, a pump kit and a clean dispensing setup.
Ex Works prices, ex GST. Delivery is quoted to your suburb. A 15 L pack is also available at $27.50.
Seals intact, no leaks or damage, labels readable. Note the batch number and fill date against the delivery docket.
Clean, dedicated transfer gear only. No funnels or jugs that have held diesel or oil, and no rinsing with tap water.
Out of direct sun and away from heat. At or below 25 °C it lasts about 18 months. At up to 35 °C, about 6 months.
Polyethylene, polypropylene or stainless steel only. Copper, brass, zinc, aluminium and mild steel are attacked by AdBlue®.
If anything looks wrong, such as cloudiness, particles, discolouration or a strong ammonia smell, don't put it in a vehicle. Keep a sealed sample and ask for our free basic check. Off-spec AdBlue® can cause SCR faults, derate and damage to injectors or catalysts. The full clean-IBC checklist is in the guide and in our IBC check article.
Larger packs cost less per litre. On our list, 20 L packs are about $1.58 per litre, 210 L drums about $0.88 and 1,000 L IBCs $0.89 to $0.99, ex GST and Ex Works. Bulk tanker pricing depends on volume and location. The right choice also depends on your storage and how fast you use it.
Ask for the manufacturer's VDA licence number and a Certificate of Analysis for your batch, and check that the batch number matches the label. Buy sealed, clearly labelled containers.
Polyethylene, polypropylene and stainless steel are compatible. AdBlue attacks copper, brass, zinc, aluminium and mild steel, so avoid fittings and containers made from them.
