Pumping AdBlue

That is actually for pouring fuel into the fuel tank from a jerry can or similar as far as I know. It has a tiny cone and would not be much use for AdBlue.

I tried the funnel at home once. Not good.

I'll stick with the refilled LR bottles at home.

Wont work. Vehicle checks and if it isnt Adblue, it doesnt work.

I got my battery powered pump. It is the same as a cheap hand squeezed syphon pump, but with a small impeller pump powered by two D size batteries. Maybe I can adapt it to use an 18650 lithium cell... Now I need to find some suitable hose to extend the outlet. Hopefully it will be slow enough. I don't have any AdBlue here at the moment to test it - damn lockdown.

EDIT: Well, a bit Heath Robinson, but I have come up with a way to run it off lithium 18650 cells, which I use for head torches and torches so I have a few extras with me on trips. Now for the hose...

You can buy it in (I think) 10 or 20 litre containers at most truckstops.
You can also buy in 1000 litre IBC's from fuel depots.
I used to drive for a bloke who got us to put 20 or 30 litres of tap water into the tank on the way back from Melbourne, to get to the yard where he had his bulk supply.
AFAIK most vehicles don't analyse it, just if it runs out they go into limp mode.
Depending who you talk to, it's either 30 or 33% urea/water mix.
Doesn't make your engine run better, just cleans the NOx out of the exhaust gases (apparently).
