Potential AdBlue Shortage

[wilburthewombat]

I like a good panic buy, so I thought I'd get in really early here. I just read an article about how the BASF chemical plant in Germany might have to suspend operations if it can't get enough gas over the winter. It is one of the major suppliers of AdBlue, so time to panic buy now!
It's also one of the world's biggest manufacturers of ipuprofen, so if you regularly get headaches trying to operate WeConnect or Discover Media, it might be a good time to stock up on that too.

In America they call their shops ‘Stores’ which is a much better description of what they do.

They STORE our food and supplies so that we don’t need to. When we want it we go to the STORE and get it in exchange for cash.

Panic buying disrupts a store ability’s to STORE and believe me they are bloody brilliant at storing just enough to minimise our waste.

It’s interesting what you say but the better answer is to keep calm and carry on surely?

Noted, will buy some cans straight away.
How do I convert my Euro 5 to Euro 6 engine to actually need to use ad-blue?

While I agree with the principle, unfortunately society is made up of a wide spectrum - social muppets to the socially conscious. Given that we know muppets exist, we have to act accordingly. Idealism vs realism.

Understand that fully.

During that ridiculous muppet toilet roll affair we stayed calm, whilst idiots stocked up enough for six months of dysentery.

The stores did ok. We never once suffered newspaper print on our backsides. Which is a good job as I read all my news papers on my phone these days.

Sounds like Putin has won then, EU runs out of Ad-blue for their environmentally friendly tanks, be nothing stopping him rolling through the whole of Europe

Don't stock up with too much Adblue as it does go off and lets be honest a full tank now will probably get me though to the spring anyway

While at that, don't forget to grab some toilet rolls - oh, to clean up any ad-blue spills.

All these silver linings from panic buying.

No toilet rolls... people found out the only thing that the Sun newspaper was really good at....

Sugar shortage ...... Saves NHS billions

Ad-Blu shortage .... who needs Russian diesel anyway

We loved a chalk board sign outside a general store in Beer, Devon last summer. “ Bacon shortage! Panic buy here! “

Take your empty ad blu 10 litre container to hgv filling site and fill container at pump
Fraction of cost compared with buying full containers at pumps or tesco
Note ad blu is a generic name, any def is ok.. all same spec
Def …. Diesel exhaust fluid
Note also that if you run out you CANNOT use wee wee or Coca Cola despite reports such contraire

They also make worms that eat slugs

I've found out what happened to my cheap gas pipeline but
I can't seem to do anything about it.
Its a good read from a prize winning Journo.

How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline

The New York Times called it a “mystery,” but the United States executed a covert sea operation that was kept secret—until now
