    After filling up from a plastic container recently, I contacted a few service station operators to enquire as to whether they had AdBlue pumps. I'm not clear if they are suitable for cars but ppl on here on boards have reported using ones intended for commercials on cars/mpvs/suvs. That's your call.

    The Applegreen filling stations that have Ad Blue filling pumps are:
    Applegreen Wicklow Service Area, Cullenmore, Ashford, Co. Wicklow.
    Applegreen Service Area - Junction 27 Lackanavea, Birdhill, Co. Tipperary Applegreen Service Area , Junction 7-M9 Jordanstown, Paulstown ,Co Kilkenny
    Applegreen Service Station ,Lemybrien, Co. Waterford
    Applegreen Service Station ,Rowans Road, Courtlough Balbriggan, Co. Dublin
    Applegreen Templepatrick, M2 Northbound, Newtownabbey, Co. Antrim
    M1 Lisburn North and South bound, Tullynacross, Lisburn, Co. Down


    Topaz - didn't volunteer comprehensive list but gave me the three locations below. Ppl here on boards have mentioned other locations.
    City Avenue, Dublin
    Ashbourne, Co Meath
    Clonshaugh, Co Dublin


    Texaco Customer Care reply: "Please be advised that Valero is an wholesaler of fuel only and does not supply this product. Unfortunately, we do not have access to any information of which service stations do supply Adblue, therefore, we recommend that you contact your local Texaco garages, or a local haulage distributor company who may be supplying this product."

    Pretty sure great gas in Ballymount have an adblue pump.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,099 ✭✭✭✭Del2005


    Topaz on the N82 in Citywest has a pump.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 153 ✭✭imp1


    Filling up from a pump is half - or less - the price of containers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 153 ✭✭imp1


    About 60c / litre - need to check to be sure.

    What’s wrong with using the drums from motor factors etc ?

    Nothing wrong with them. Would prefer the convenience of a pump myself. Less waste, no storage of half full containers. Neither might be an issue for some.

    How does these pumps work? Is there an auto stop for ad blue like for petrol or diesel? I don’t really fancy to have the acid spillage all over the car..

    It's 79.9 in Ballymount.

    Topaz at exit 5 on the M9 has a pump. Pump number 11 . 15l was in and around €14 if I remember right. In my Peugeot 508sw its an empty the boot and remove the spare wheel to access the tank. Car was new last June and already on my 3rd adblue fill in the next 2 weeks Id say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,680 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    Sounds a lot, what mileage did u do it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 379 ✭✭eggerb


    Agree with TheDriver; sounds a lot. Under published consumption for the 308SW, you'd need to have done 60k km. Here's a site that estimates usage by model.. https://changeforblue.uk/

    Good post OP
    Im driving a 171 Ford Transit with just under 60k and i have to top up with ad blue rough every 10k. Ive been useing Halfords where it is E14 for 10ltrs and it takes 20ltrs.
    Its a pity some of the main garages dont promote that they sell it on pump.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,034 ✭✭✭Mc-BigE


    just bought 10L in halfords for 11 euro, the computer told me (seat ateca) that i was to put in 3.5L and had 5500kms left, so i put in about 3litres , turned on the ignition and the display is the same.

    maybe it takes time for the computer to reset or i have to drive it for the figure to go up.

    Did it tell you to add 3.5L or that you only have 3.5L left in the tank?

    Anyhow, get a copy of the manual here, you should be adding a minimum of 5L(as per manual) once the warning shows up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,034 ✭✭✭Mc-BigE


    it said to add 3.5L of adblue,
    i didnt want to overfill it and spill it on to the car,

    can i just top it up the extra bit make it full, or do i need to reset something on the computer?

    does it really matter if i put in 1Litre or 5 litres? surely as long as i don't run out?

    or am i causing problems with level sensors in the tank


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,262 ✭✭✭✭Autosport


    When you re start your engine the level should rise up on the gauge but also if it says 3.5 litres you can put in more. Mine showed I had a half a tank so I just put the whole 10l and it just filled the tank up. Should do me for a while :) it’s good value aswell in Halfords

    Just filled it up this evening , 13.55 L was €12.xx , That is my 3rd fill of adblue since I got the car new in Jun17, Today I reached the magic milage of 60k. To answer you question , yeah , I do too much milage. The car is a 508 not a 308 but more than likely the same engine.
    On a side note, my last 2 Diesel fills I used the Miles + Fuel, Seems slightly pokier but very noticably idling and driving smoother.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,034 ✭✭✭Mc-BigE


    are there any stations in Cork or Munster that does the adblue from the pump? (not that i have to worry about it for a while, just for future reference)

    AdBlue can corrode aluminium, copper, bronze, iron & mild steel, so can make sh1te of a lot of parts that make up a car, like wheels and suspension.

    And we’re putting this into our cars :eek:

    Would be good if the service ststion operators published them on their sites. None on the Applegreen list. Might be worth chevking with Topaz .. https://www.topaz.ie/about-us/contact-us.aspx


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,712 ✭✭✭✭R.O.R


    I stopped for fuel this morning at the new Circle K CityNorth (Junction 7 on the M1) and ended up at the furthest pump from the shop, which has an AdBlue pump there.

    Forgot to look what the cost per litre was though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 544 ✭✭✭SBPhoto


    Comeragh Oil filling station in Dungarvan Co.Waterford has the ad-blue at the pumps

    Not so much.... Urine has a small amount of urea amongst other things, and is over 95% water. AdBlue has over 30% urea. Not really comparable.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 194 ✭✭fiverfriday


    Filled up at GreatGas in Ballymount this morning. Adblue at pump was 79.9c per litre.

    Local Topaz has 10l drums for €17.99 (1.79 per litre).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26,658 ✭✭✭✭OldMrBrennan83


    Has there been any progress on on places putting pumps in?

    Also, when you get the warning do you just fill til it overflows or is there a capacity and a gauge in the vehicle?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,065 ✭✭✭✭Odyssey 2005


    Aldi have adblue for €5 .for 6 liters


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,441 ✭✭✭ofcork


    Apparently even the kia sportage has an adblue tank now.

    When buying a 1000 litres at times (ibc container)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,218 ✭✭✭Whocare


    The petrol station in Johnson's town on old cork to Dublin road sell addblue on pump(truck pump at back of the shop) at 88 cents a litre


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 845 ✭✭✭omicron

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 379 ✭✭eggerb


    Circle K, Citywest Rd, Citywest Business Campus, 94.9 cent per litre. Suitable for cars. Very easy fill compared to the pumps intended for bigger commercial vehicles.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 187 ✭✭factnee

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,267 ✭✭✭mikeecho

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 163 ✭✭valc


    Does anyone know of garage around Dublin 6W / Dublin 12 that sells ad blue on pump ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,267 ✭✭✭mikeecho


    Not terrenure, but you could try circle k down my the docks .

    It's mostly only truck friendly stations that have AD-Blue pumps, the rest just sell over priced bottles.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 163 ✭✭valc


    Tnx Mikeecho. Was trying to avoid city centre but I'll wait until after rush hour traffic 2mo.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 278 ✭✭Birka


    Circle K Fonthill and Citywest have adblue pumps (according to their website anyway)
