Reduces Need for #1 Diesel Fuel
Using #1 diesel fuel is one traditional solution to cold-weather diesel fuel problems. While #1 diesel fuel has an advantage in low-temperature operability, the energy content of #1 diesel fuel is about 95 percent that of #2 diesel fuel, resulting in reduced fuel economy and less horsepower, and it costs more at the pump. Diesel Cold Flow minimizes the need for blending standard #2 diesel fuel with #1 diesel fuel, helping to maintain fuel economy and keep engines functioning normally.
Helps Prevent Gelling
As the temperature drops, the wax naturally found in diesel fuel begins to crystallize. 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, preventing it from starting. While low-quality fuels may form wax crystals in temperatures as warm as 40ºF (4ºC), most fuels have a cloud point near 32ºF (0ºC). The point at which the crystals clog the fuel filter is known as the cold filter-plugging point (CFPP). Diesel Cold Flow lowers the CFPP by up to 40ºF (22ºC) in ULSD.
Prevents Wax Settling
Wax crystals can settle and clog fuel filters (see picture). AMSOIL Diesel Cold Flow is formulated with wax anti-settling additives that drastically reduce the size of wax crystals, preventing them from settling and allowing them to more effectively pass through the filter, improving low-temperature operability.

APPLICATIONS
Diesel Cold Flow is specially formulated to improve the flow of diesel fuel, helping to maintain the integrity of fuel and prevent the clogging of filters and injectors. It is excellent for use with diesel fuels, heating oils and kerosene.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Add before filling tank. Diesel Cold Flow must be added at temperatures above the diesel fuel cloud point (the (temperature at which wax begins to crystallize). It will not reverse gel or wax crystals once formed. To dissolve gelled fuel and thaw frozen fuel filters, use AMSOIL Diesel Recovery. Do not store at temperatures below OºF (-18ºC). Excellent for use with AMSOIL Cetane Boost and AMSOIL Diesel Injector Clean.
