@bruceslicer: Australia was weeks away from its trucks stopping, and most people never heard about it 🚛 In 2021, China restricted exports of urea, the main ingredient in AdBlue. About half of Australia’s diesel trucks need AdBlue to run, and Australia imported roughly 80% of its urea. With only weeks of supply left, the government set up an emergency taskforce and asked Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Japan for supplies to keep freight, food, fuel and medicine moving. One chemical. One country. Almost the whole supply chain. Should Australia make more of its own essentials? 👇 Send this to someone who drives a truck.

It's very simple, just delete the AdBlue system.

and before they had a great idea for making billions off adblue the trucks ran fine with just diesel... just another way to screw more money from people

It wouldn’t grind to a hault, can litterally just turn it off in the ECM and delete the system and the engine runs normally without it

The truck only loses power because that’s what’s it’s been programmed to do, we don’t NEED Adblue to run trucks, eu decided that for us

Nobody actually needs DEF, it’s a BS emissions gimmick that ends up ruining engines. You can delete it

my mechanic said the computer doesn't know if there is urea in the water...so maybe the exqust is not clean but the truck keeps going

ad blue has nothing to do with the actual engine only injected into the muffler to reduce the soot

Biggest waste of time and money for a net zero farce. Water in that tank does the same thing. The system cant tell the difference

In late 2021, height of Covid, China restricted urea exports to safeguard domestic fertilizer supply and stabilize local prices. I am sure AU would be doing the same if we were in the same position

The truck doesn’t need adblue to work adblue is just for the environment it’s just the computer that doesn’t allow the truck to work without it
