Why can't you just fill the adblue tank with something else?

A lot of them have a urea concentration sensor in the Adblue tank...

Some think someone will invent about a 2 liter tank to mount in frame out of site with a urea sensor in it.. There has to be a cable to this, plug it into the small tank with a false cable on the other tank....
But this is just speculation of a really devious mind, I think...

Necessity is the mother of invention. Or so I hear. I wouldn't know, I'm not very good at inventing things that work lmao.

The scalies then check yr truck at a weighbridge, do a pollution check and /......wham...multi thousand dollar fine. Wont take too many of them to make truckles think again.It also makes those with older pre ad blue trucks very valuable.
Gun control is about being able to hit your target.

Heads up.
Our boss told us all at prestart this morning that there is only 2 weeks worth of adblue avail in the country and after that, we are up shyte creek as far as transport of goods goes.
He said the .gov crowd is currently working with farms to mod their agri-gear to bypass the adblue requirement, so I guess they will be working with the trucking industry next as that's kind of important, especially those of us who live in remote regional areas hundreds of km from the nearest big town.
He also went on about the lack of goods coming ex-China as the cost of shipping now is ridiculous. He said in the before times, it would cost about $1000 to process and ship a shipping container from china to here, but now the cost is average $20,000 and about a 4mth wait due to quarantine etc

My lad works at Kmart - shelves are getting bare - there are no deliveries to replenish stock.
No imports being unloaded, lack of transport to do deliveries - plus, us out in rural areas are always at the end of the chain!!!
Time to do another big shop!!!

whether by design or not, the diesel issue will most likely play into the hands of climate politics and the incoming carbon credit systems. Every facet of the technological revolution involves mankind's subservience to its domination.

Expect to see the enviro ratbags getting on the bandwagon and calling for the cessation of all truck and car movements as the pollution requirements cant be met without these additives.
Thank goodness we have several thousand liters on farm diesel, and machinery, generators etc that don't need additives, as well as total off grid solar (20 Kw solar and a huge submarine battery bank, 4.5 tons of them).
Time to start looking at your resupply plan folks for when the just in time delivery's stop and you are on your own.

A former employer of mine has already been approached in regards to the short term leasing of his roadtrain fleet to keep freight moving due to the fact they are not reliant on Adblue. Now these rigs are normally pulling quads and are rated to 110 ton so i guess where there is a will there is a way. I think the guys that are going to lose out the most are the big corporations that have fleets of the latest trucks driven by visa workers so they are certainly going to shout from the roof tops that the sky is falling

Same here, the harvest contractor i work for is getting phone calls all day wanting to hire his triple road train rated western stars, and kenwoods, powered with Detroit diesels and no adblu, and for insane amounts of money, like u could nearly buy a new truck for the cash they are offering.
The only vehicle in the fleet with adblue is the new ford F350, and it uses adblue, which is really gunna cheese the boss off because its his favorite truck !
Luckily all the John Deere headers and tractors are pre adblu, so our harvest will continue, until the diesel fuel runs out.
Half of being smart is knowing what your dumb at.

Never waste a good crisis in figuring out how to create a tax for more money to pilfer, I mean work with...
VVV VVV

Again... Another group with an agenda not letting a good crisis go to waste... Don't get me started..
Oh My God..... ! ! ! What do you mean there has been no deliveries of tofu, or the imported wine we NEED to impress our pretentious friends here in the condo complex.. Well.... We need to go to the Starbucks for a DOUBLE soy latte, and form a committee about this..
(just being an ass, and don't care)

Made the monthly trip out to the big smoke today to stock up. Things are getting really expensive. Our trip to Big W cost us $300 ! And all that fitted into 1x standard shopping bag plus 1x pack of kitchen paper towel, 2x boxes wet wipes and 7.5kg box washing powder. None of them items we bought were big ticket items or anything fancy |

Looked up the amount of fuels Australia has, or is supposed to have.
How many weeks of fuel does Australia have?
A review has been launched
The Sydney Morning Herald yesterday (Friday)reported that the country's supply of crude oil stands at 22 days, LPG at 59 days, petrol at 20 days and diesel at 21 days.
OPEC recommends a minimum of 90 days of all.
Weve got more on farm storage than Australia has !
Time to revisit gasifiers.

Didn’t you hear mwt? Australia has a strategic oil reserve. It’s in an underground cavern in Texas. Yeah it’s half way around the globe as in Texas USA not texas Southern QLD.. Sounds pretty strategic huh.

No probs. Not like a U-boat blockade would ever threaten supply lines between 2 continents?
