AdBlue Fittings & Accessories

The Stainless Steel Foot Valve and Strainer is a spring loaded non return valve, which has the additional benefit of ensuring that the fuel being drawn is free from any large particles that could damage the pumping system. These foot valves are ideal for use on corrosive fluids that need to be kept free of material contamination.

The Stainless Steel Check Valve is a spring loaded, non return valve constructed of stainless steel 316. These non return valves have F x F internal threads, and can be supplied in ¾” and 1” BSP.

The Cleanfill 2" Overfill Prevention Valve from Lafon can be fitted to a tank as a piece of safety and environmental protection equipment. This overfill protection device can be used on fuel and diesel storage tanks that are filled by gravity flow or a pressure pump system. When the tank is full, the valve will close preventing any further fluid from being dispensed into the tank. There is also a version available to be used on AdBlue™ storage tanks, a fluid which is known as DEF in America and other countries.

The CTS AdBlue™ Tank und Alarm is an economy, entry level, battery powered AdBlue™ tank alarm system for alerting the user to fluid being detected between the inner tank and the outer bund. If only a bund alert is needed for your tank, this bund alarm is a simple, cost-effective solution and doesn't involve the other warnings associated with a fuel tank level alarm. A red LED will flash and a 90db alarm will sound to alert the user to fluid being detected in the bund - which can be caused by a tank rupture/leak or rainwater collecting in the bund - meaning your bund will need cleaning and/or emptying.

This battery powered AdBlue&trade bund alarm allows 72 hours of full alarm mode, making it ideal for unmanned sites and those with site closure on weekends. Further features include a weatherproof enclosure and test and alarm mute buttons to silence the sounder.

The CTS single channel fuel tank alarm system provides the user with the choice of setting the alarm to alert of either a high level, low level or bund leak depending upon their requirements. This level and bund alarm is a simple and cost effective solution when the user only requires to be alerted of one scenario, therefore making the multi-zone tank level alarm over-specified.

Available in either mains or battery power, the single channel fuel tank alarm has a clear, descriptive seven segment LED display that informs the user of the activated tank state. Both versions feature a test button that will activate the 90dB sounder and flash the display showing the current configuration of the tank level alarm, and a mute button to silence the sounder. The battery powered version has a low battery warning to give notice that the battery needs changing.

The mains powered version has the additional feature of a volt-free relay for connecting the fuel storage tank alarm to another piece of equipment on-site such as a building management system, or another mains powered single channel alarm allowing the alarm status to monitored remotely for example in the office. Whilst commonly used as a diesel tank alarm, it is also suitable for use with a range of fluids such as water, waste oil and chemicals

The CTS Mains Operated Multi-Compartment Fuel Tank Alarm system has three functions; to detect and warn of a tank overfill, a high/low liquid level and a bund leak. If this fuel tank alarm identifies any of these issues, the zone in question will light up on the alarm’s screen, combined with an alarm sounder and flashing orange strobe, which provides the user with a clear warning of the activated tank state. Each zone can be configured in any of the three functions High, Low or Bund, enabling the complete customisation of these fuel tank alarms based upon the user's requirements with a very simple set of electrical jumpers.

Options are available complete with three relays, to allow external equipment to be connected to each zone of the tank level alarm such as building management system for remote monitoring. This level and bund alarm also has the additional feature of controlling the pump from the relays (if fitted). When the fuel storage tank contents are 'low', the pump switches on and stays on until 'high' is reached.

If you require a tank level alarm for something other than diesel or light oil, we also supply a water and chemical alarm probe, and a high viscosity oil tank level probe – which is also suitable for AdBlue as well as high viscosity oils.

The ZVA Elafix 40 AdBlue™ Magnetic Tank Adaptor is designed specifically for the prevention of miss-filling AdBlue™/DEF into a diesel tank. This universal ISO certified magnetic collar fits into any vehicles’ AdBlue™ filler neck, so that when used in conjunction with an AdBlue magnetic nozzle such as the Piusi SB325 or ZVA AdBlue model, it will prevent you from being able to dispense into anything other than the AdBlue™ tank. In addition, the 19mm ID of the magnetic adaptor prevents larger spout diesel nozzles from fitting into the fill point to prevent miss-filling the other way round as well.

The miss-filling of AdBlue™ is a common, reoccurring issue and will be costly for the vehicle owner to put right. AdBlue™ is not compatible with many materials, and miss-filling can corrode the pipework and components of a fuel system – resulting in thousands of pounds of damage, as well as having to pay for the removal of AdBlue™ from the tank.

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 a magnetic adaptor in your vehicle, hold something magnetic next to the AdBlue™ fill point and if you feel a magnetic pull, your vehicle already has one fitted. If there isn’t a magnetic pull, you will need to fit one of these Elafix AdBlue™ magnetic tank adaptors to reap the benefits of a magnetic AdBlue™ nozzle.
