Topic: Are these containers safe to use?

[Trevor_D]

We've been offered a number of barrels to use as water butts. They have been used to store AdBlue.

(For those who don't know - I didn't - it's a diesel additive designed to ensure efficiency and low carbon emissions.) I gather it's non-toxic and safe to handle, but as we would be using them to store water for our plants, I thought it best to check first before I agreed!

Anyone know anything about this? Or used such containers?

i have used some barrels that had it in, i gave them a good wash out and have had no issues with them, mine were blue poly barrels that i cut the top off so i could give them a good rinse, there is nothing toxic in the adblue

I recall reading about this on another forum. Bizarrely, AdBlue is just urea in water (hard to believe, isn't it?) so rinsing is all the barrels need.

Perfectly safe to use as previously stated it is just cows urine purified.

Not just cows, pigs as well
