I bought 40 litres of adblue today and they were £14.40 per can. That is up £4 + each.
another thing is because of the fertilizer shortage there will almost certainly be a shortage of other Ammonia products like adblue as well . All this is in line with the agenda of shortages of everything except bullshit going on now.
Get a supply in now if you can if you want to use you MH soon. My supply is two top-up or 2500 miles worth. Half gone in now and 2 containers left for next time.
 
I try not to buy it in the plastic containers, prefer to get it straight from a pump so that I don’t have a big plastic container that ends up going into the bin,
luckily for me the nearest garage that has a Adblue pump is only half a mile away.
But last time I filled up it was £1.12 per litre at the pump, but Aldi were selling 10 litre tubs for £8.99.
So only £0.89p per litre supplied in a container,
Also screwfix sell it for £10.49 for a 10litre container. Which is still cheaper than buying from the pump

Adblue does not have a great shelf life. From date of manufacture it’s 12 months in unopened container, and six moths once opened.
 
Staples ( office supplies ) sell it, 10L for £10.56 inc VAT.

I haven't go a clue, All I know is I stored some for three years, used it, and it led to issues with my car.
But if you check online, or read the instructions you will see this advice.
The higher the temperature its stored at the shorter the shelf life.
 
I do 5000 miles a year and add bule from wilkingson 10 liters and a work out to get it home as I carry it
£10, per work out . I use less than 40 liters a year . My miles are 90% motorway.
 
There’s a local back street garage here doing a booming trade in removing the adblue system think they do something with DPF and exhaust system and some re mapping. I know someone who had fancy Ford pick up done and he said the thing runs a lot better it’s better on fuel but I’m not sure about the implications of MOT emissions test.

Done carefully its not detectable...

Quite a lot of folks have a cat delete done as well as adblue delete when the cat converter gives up the ghost.

Id say an mot failure for sure, mind you I removed the fuel in sys from my last soda and went back to carb and points, went through every year, all 15 tests
 
That garage must be doing something right Trev you drive past and car park is full of nearly new 4x4s and luxury cars don’t know the rules on removing adblue I’ve got 2 that use ad blue I won’t be touching them. But it’s a big thing round here to remove it
 
it seems all HGV forecourt areas at motorway services now have adblue pumps. We wanted to top up before we got on the ferry to Spain and did not know how much we needed. The Moto service area we stopped at wanted a rip off £13 for a 5ltr bottle so we opted for the HGV pump and paid £4.50 @90p per litre, which by coincidence was what was needed as a top up. As an aside the staff were not impressed but as we have a motorhome rated as a heavy goods vehicle we were perfectly entitled to use the HGV service area.
 
If it helps, £10.30 for 5 litres, free delivery on a £30 order

I know it is best to "watch the pennies" - but the cost of adblue per mile is minuscule compared to all the other costs of running a campervan. For me 10l goes about 2,500 miles. And as it makes such a big difference to the emissions. Crazy to disable it. Agreed it is hard to keep topped up especially all those odd designs of filler tube that just seem designed to ensure you are going to spill most of it. Visiting the HGV pumps seems to be the easiest way to do it.
