Its UREA - basically piss - its injected into the exhaust system and causes a regeneration burn of the soot into water and hydrogen along with some other base elements which don't harm humans
a right pain in the bum

Scania use EGR, but plan to use the SCR technology to reach Euro 6
A few others give you a choice of either (I think MAN do)
I know with Mercedes, once you're passed Euro 3, its adblue all the way

as already said its basically pig piss and deionised water, alot of owner drivers are watering it down or just putting water in the system. the other problem with it is you have to clean the pump regularly or it clogs up with crystalised pig piss
