AMSOIL Diesel Cold Flow

Diesel Cold Flow (ADD) combats diesel fuel gelling by improving diesel cold flow ability. It is formulated with an advanced deicer to enhance fuel flow and help prevent fuel filter plugging in cold temperatures. Diesel Cold Flow is formulated for a broad range of diesel fuels, including biodiesel and #1 and #2 ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD). Diesel Cold Flow delivers confidence in your diesel’s performance. Its concentrated formula uses unique chemistry to target and eliminate specific performance issues, maximizing diesel power.

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 power, 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.

Review by Dave Mann

To combat the decreasing quality of diesel fuels, I have my own 600- and 300-gallon tanks for my off-road and on-road diesel vehicles. When my fuel is delivered from a trusted supplier, I immediately add Diesel Cold Flow along with the Injector Clean + Cetane Boost to ensure all my vehicles and equipment perform optimally in all conditions.

What is cold flow in diesel fuels? Cold flow refers to the ability of diesel fuel to flow adequately in low-temp conditions. All diesel fuels, especially the more popular diesel #2, can gel up as temperatures drop. Using a cold flow additive in your fuel helps ensure you don't have any fuel delivery problems, even in the harshest cold climates.

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). 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 passthrough the filter, improving low-temperature operability.

Benefits

  • lowers the cold filter-plugging point (CFFP) by up to 40°F (22°C) in ULSD.

Wax formation in untreated diesel fuel resists pouring.
Wax formation in untreated diesel fuel plugs a coffee filter.
Wax crystals in untreated diesel fuel. The wax crystals will eventually fall out of solution and plug the fuel filter.

Testing reveals AMSOIL Diesel Cold Flow provides significant cold-flow improvement in diesel fuels found across the U.S., delivering improved cold-weather operation.

APPLICATIONS

Diesel Cold Flow is specially formulated for improving the flow of diesel fuel, helping to maintain the integrity of fuel and prevent the clogging of filters and injectors.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

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. Do not store at temperatures below 0ºF(-18ºC). Excellent for use with AMSOIL Cetane Boost and AMSOIL Diesel Injector Clean.

Great Product

This is a great product and I feel better when I use it. I believe I get better fuel economy but haven't checked closely enough to know for sure.
