Diesel Fuel Cold Flow Improver
A Premium Diesel Additive that Lowers Diesel Fuel Pour Point by as Much as 58°F (32°C), and Cloud Point by 34°F (18°C).
Cold Weather and Diesel Fuel As the temperature drops, the wax naturally found in diesel fuel begins to form crystals. The point at which wax crystals form is known as the cloud point. These wax crystals eventually clog the fuel filter and starve the engine of fuel or prevent it from starting. While low-quality fuels may form wax crystals in temperatures as warm as 40°F (4°C), most fuels have a cloud point near 32°F (0°C).
The Problem with No. 1 Diesel Fuel One traditional solution to cold-weather problems in diesel engines is the use of No. 1 diesel fuel, which is diesel fuel diluted with kerosene. While No. 1 diesel fuel has an advantage in low temperature operability, there are also several disadvantages.
No. 1 Diesel Fuel Contains Less Energy Than No. 2 Diesel Fuel, Which Results in Reduced Fuel Economy and Horsepower.
With today's high diesel prices, lower fuel economy is the last thing that diesel truck owners need. In addition, the kerosene used in No. 1 diesel fuel provides less lubrication for the fuel pump and fuel distributor, increasing the likelihood for wear on these critical components.
AMSOIL Cold Flow Improver AMSOIL Cold Flow Improver provides superior fuel flow to help prevent filter plugging in cold temperatures. It is formulated for a broad range of diesel fuels, including No. 1 diesel fuel, No. 2 diesel fuel, biodiesel and hard-to-treat Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuels. AMSOIL Cold Flow Improver minimizes the need for blending standard No. 2 diesel fuel with lower quality No. 1 diesel fuel, helping maintain fuel economy and keep engines functioning normally. It is also excellent for use with home heating oil and kerosene heat systems.
No Oil Pan Heater Required! Our 15W40 Diesel Motor Oil is Fluid Down to -44°F
AMSOIL Cold Flow Improver uses a jet-fuel-type deicer that disperses water to control ice formation throughout the fuel system. It inhibits wax crystal formation and can improve diesel pour point by as much as 58°F (32°C), allowing fuel to flow to the engine more easily and improving diesel engine reliability in cold temperatures. In addition, AMSOIL Cold Flow Improver lowers the CFPP by as much as 34°F (18°C) in ULSD.
One 16-oz bottle treats 40 gallons of fuel and is excellent for use with AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate and AMSOIL Cetane Boost Additive.
Package sizes include: 16-oz. Bottle, 16-oz. Bottles case of 12
