Recently DT King Transport of Otago and Southland took delivery of five Sebco 4800 Blue Stations for each of their truck depots. DT King‘s busy fleet of 180 trucks and emissions reduction policy means that the demand for AdBlue is increasing.

DT King Transport general manager Grant Loader said they were looking for an environmentally sound, easy to use storage and dispensing solution for AdBlue across all their sites, as it is vital that the trucks keep moving with minimal downtime.

Storage and refuelling is paramount with AdBlue. AdBlue has a limited shelf life, is best stored at a stable temperature, and protected from UV rays and dust. This means that storing in and filling from containers and IBCs is just too risky, and it also presents a workplace safety hazard.

AdBlue must be kept scrupulously clean and there no shortcuts around that, said Grant. Sloppy filling practices will result in accidental contamination and the temptation to use the ‘handy container‘ to top-up a vehicle‘s AdBlue tank is to be avoided at all times.

DT King‘s requirements meant that the AdBlue solution would be located within busy transport yards, so standalone robust systems are needed. “The Sebco range of Blue Stations ticked all the boxes and fitted our requirements,” said Grant.

Another requirement was for the Blue Stations to work in with DT King‘s existing fuel management system on the diesel tanks they have across all sites. Truck and driver details for AdBlue are recorded in real time and easily assimilated into their existing fuel accounting and monitoring system.

“The team at Sebco made it really easy for us,” said Grant. “Sebco were able to easily configure their Blue Stations, providing additional reporting efficiencies without the need for costly retraining. All we had to do was get our electrician on site to power up the Sebco Blue Stations, and then our fuel management supplier did some upgrades on our existing system and we were ready to go.”

The Sebco Blue Station is compact and easy to locate, requiring minimal space, and as a bonus can be easily relocated if needed. “While we looked at a few solutions, nothing offered all the key benefits that Sebco does. The Sebco guys delivered when agreed and the tanks were filled with AdBlue and then put in use immediately; easy.”

Sebco Blue Station‘s unique UV cancelling, bunded weather- and dust-proof design ensures that AdBlue is kept in an optimum environment that prevents contamination and degradation. “This is exactly what we need and is the perfect match for our extremely busy business,” said Grant.
