Use amixtureof No. 1 diesel mixed with No. 2 diesel No. 1 contains less paraffin wax to gel and ignites easier. It also has fewer BTU’s of energy available and has less lubricity than No. 2. Option 2 for COLD WEATHER Use afuel additiveto prevent gelling. It also helps keep injecto...

On average, the cloud point of typical biodiesels are 15–20 °C higher than typical petrodiesels, making the usage of pure biodiesel near impossible for colder weather applications [10]. In these environments, biodiesel-petrodiesel blends are used, but only 1–20% of the blend is ...
Washer fluid: Top up. You don’t want to run out while driving in freezing rain or sleet. Only use fluid that’s cold-weather rated for a minimum -20 F, likeRain-X de-icing additive. Tires: Make sure they have plenty of tread. If you aren’t sure how to determine this, get the...
The cold flow improvers market is growing as the demand for diesel, biodiesel, and other fuels in different industries is increasing. These types of additives have major importance in improving the flow properties of the fuels at low-temperature conditions; thus, these prevent gelling and crystalliz...
There will be additional focus on guidelines and best practices for treating biodiesel blends for cold-weather handling. Furthermore, factors will be recommended to consider when planning and implementing cold-flow protection. Attendees will be able to submit questions during the webinar, and ...
in 20-degree weather. Because stiction issues typically subside as the engine oil begins to warm (due to the oil thinning out), we performed a cylinder balance test within 30 seconds of starting the truck. The result: just four of eight cylinders were in good working order. This meant half...
especially for gas or diesel cars. Acts as first aid for engines that are suffering from low temperature that hamper starting up fast. Use this 50% ether component additive that helps ignite fuel better, instead of the car suffering from engine and battery stress. Use in cold weather as low...
