Welcome to winter! With temperatures dropping, you want to be sure your vehicles and heavy equipment are able to function normally. That’s why Woodford Oil Company recommends adding a fuel conditioner to your diesel fuel to help eliminate some specific problems that come with operating diesel vehicles and equipment in cold weather.
Eliminate Potential Problems Before They Occur
Sub-freezing temperatures can cause the naturally occurring paraffin wax in diesel fuel to solidify (or gel), clogging fuel lines and filters, blocking fuel flow, and making it harder to power up your engine.
Another cold-weather problem diesel engine owners face is the potential formation of ice crystals in fuel, which can clog fuel lines and filters and cause damage to injectors and other engine components due to corrosion.
To help our customers eliminate these cold-weather threats, Woodford offers a diesel fuel additive that improves low-temperature operability and performance.
Altra Cold Flow 220WAD features a blend of chemicals including a cold-flow improver and deicer that delivers a number of critical performance benefits, including:
- preventing fuel from gelling,
- dispersing wax during engine shutdowns,
- emulsifying and eliminating water, and
- preventing fuel filter icing.
Available to our bulk fuel customers, Altra Cold Flow 220WAD enables operators to get the most out of their heavy-duty vehicles and equipment working in cold weather.
