Reducing Agent (AdBlue(R)) Delivery Line

The "NOx reducing agent AUS 32" (AdBlue(R)) is simply called reducing agent in the following information.

Protect the connectors, for example with a plastic bag or cable ties, before they become coated with reducing agent. The connectors could be damaged because the reducing agent has a tendency to seep and it crystallizes.
