AdBlue® use follows diesel use. For most trucks it runs at about 3–6% of diesel consumption, and some off-road engines use more. Start with your diesel figures and the rest is simple arithmetic.
A B-double doing 2,000 km a week at about 50 L/100 km burns roughly 1,000 L of diesel a week. At 3–6%, that is about 30–60 L of AdBlue® a week, or around 1,500–3,000 L a year for one truck.
An excavator or loader burning 300 L of diesel a day uses about 9–18 L of AdBlue® a day at 3–6%, and possibly more if the engine maker quotes a higher rate. A site with several machines soon justifies an IBC or a bulk tank.
A tractor burning 200 L of diesel a day through seeding or harvest uses about 6–12 L of AdBlue® a day. Demand is concentrated into a few busy weeks, so timing the purchase matters more than on a truck fleet.

| Industry | Usual starting point | Main thing to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Transport and logistics | IBCs, then a bulk tank with scheduled refills | Running out at the depot on a busy week |
| Mining and earthmoving | IBCs or a bunded bulk tank | Heat, dust and long gaps between deliveries |
| Construction | 210 L drums or IBCs that move between sites | Open containers, sun exposure and contamination |
| Agriculture | 20 L packs, 210 L drums or IBCs | Stock ageing in a hot shed between seasons |
| Workshops and dealers | 10 L, 15 L and 20 L packs | Shared jugs and funnels |
Prices for every pack size are on the price list. The step from 20 L packs to IBCs is usually the biggest saving per litre, and bulk suits sites using several IBCs a month. See bulk vs IBC vs drums for the trade-offs.
AdBlue® keeps for about 18 months at or below 25 °C, but only about 6 months at or below 35 °C. Where and how you store it matters as much as what you buy.
Mine sites and inland farms regularly see summer temperatures above 35 °C. Keep containers shaded and ventilated, buy quantities you will use within a few months, and test older stock before use. An IBC cover helps where there is no shed.
Construction and earthmoving sites are hard on containers. Keep lids closed, use a closed pump and nozzle rather than open jugs, and fit an inline filter on the dispensing line.
Buying well ahead of seeding or harvest is sensible, but not so far ahead that stock sits through a hot summer. Store it out of direct sun, away from diesel, oils and fertiliser.
Shared funnels and jugs that also touch diesel or coolant are the most common cause of contamination. Keep dedicated, labelled AdBlue® equipment. Tank-level monitoring and scheduled refills stop the depot running dry.
Take your diesel consumption and multiply by about 3 to 6 percent for most trucks. Some off-road engines use more. For example, 1,000 L of diesel a week works out to roughly 30 to 60 L of AdBlue a week.
It depends on how many machines you run and how concentrated your season is. Many farms use 20 L packs or 210 L drums, and larger operations use IBCs. Avoid buying so far ahead that stock sits through a hot summer.
Keep it shaded and ventilated, out of direct sun, and buy quantities you will use within a few months. Shelf life drops to about 6 months at 35 degrees, and stock stored hotter than that should be tested before use.
Bulk usually makes sense when a site is going through several IBCs a month. A bulk tank with scheduled refills also removes the handling of empty IBCs. Call us with your usage and we will compare the options.
