ZVA Automatic AdBlue™ Magnetic Nozzle

Newly manufactured vehicles which use AdBlue™ should have had a AdBlue™ tank magnet incorporated into the fill point at the manufacturing stage. To check whether you already have an magnetic adaptor in your vehicle, hold something magnetic next to the AdBlue™ filler neck and if see you feel a magnetic pull. If there isn’t a magnetic pull, you will need to fit a Elafix AdBlue™ magnetic tank adaptor to reap the benefits of this ZVA magnetic AdBlue™ nozzle.

You have two options here. Our recommendation is that you buy the AdBlue tank magnetic adaptors for all remaining vehicles. Alternatively, you can buy the nozzle override adaptor which fits over your magnetic AdBlue nozzle spout to fool it into thinking it is in contact with a magnetic vehicle adaptor. However, this option puts you at risk of costly miss-filling, not just the vehicles without the AdBlue magnetic adaptor, but also the ones with it if you accidentally leave the override adaptor on when refilling those too.

See accessories table for both options.

No! You should strictly only ever use equipment designed for use with AdBlue, as these will be constructed of compatible materials such as stainless steel and polypropylene. AdBlue will cause many materials to corrode e.g. cast iron, which most fuel nozzles are manufactured of. This will not only cause your nozzle to fail but will also contaminate the AdBlue which must be kept completely pure to ensure there is no damage to the vehicle’s SCR system.

Only manual nozzles can be used within gravity fed installations, as the back pressure required for an automatic nozzle to open is unlikely to ever be achieved under gravity conditions. For this reason, gravity hose kits are always supplied with manual nozzles.
