Hi All, first time posting, first time motohomer! Travelling home today the adblue light came on, so straight to screwfix and collected my 10ltr container. My van uses adblue so I'm no stranger to using it, I usually push the nozzle into the filler and lift up the container until it empties, job done. Why can I not get any into the motorhome? I extended the hose with some 15mm copper pipe as the nozzle isn't quite long enough on the adblue container to push the stainless steel non return flap inside the filler hole. I managed to get about 1/2 ltr in before it started pouring back out, pushing a finger inside the adblue liquid seems to be right up to the filler neck, surely this isn't correct as I believe there is a 19ltr tank fitted...............any ideas???  Plenty more questions to come undecided

    I suspect you may have a faulty sensor. In your place I’d get it checked.

    I’ve had problems with the adblue container spout failing to open the gate in the adblue tank. Initially I had to decant the 10 litre containers into 3.5 litre containers as the smaller bottle seemed to have a better nozzle.  I now use a garage forecourt pump. It always opens the gate, it’s  quicker, cheaper and no spillage or mess.

    My experience exactly. As Ad-blue is fairly readily available on forecourts I don't carry it or have any at home nowadays, but in the early days I found it necessary to buy a small special top-up bottle which I filled from a 10 litre. However I wasn't entirely happy with that process less dirt of contamination wad introduced in the decanting process.
