With the arrival of cold weather and dropping temperatures, it has become essential and necessary to use an antifreeze additive if you expose your vehicle to low temperatures<\/strong>. Below we explain why it is necessary to use an antifreeze additive for diesel fuel.<\/p>\n

Antifreeze for diesel fuel<\/h2>\n

Diesel is made up of various elements, one of which is paraffin. Paraffin is a compound that increases the heat of the fuel, but at very low temperatures it can solidify, forming small crystals, since diesel begins to gel at temperatures below -10\u00baC.<\/p>\n

If diesel freezes, what will happen is that as a result of paraffin solidification, the density of the fuel will increase, clogging the fuel filter, which can cause the engine to stop and damage injection system components<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The way to prevent diesel from freezing at very low temperatures is by using products that lower the freezing point<\/strong>, such as antifreeze additives<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Why is antifreeze a necessary product?<\/h2>\n

When winter arrives and with it low temperatures, diesel requires treatment to ensure it continues to flow and does not freeze<\/strong>. The antifreeze additive lowers the freezing temperature of diesel since it contains wax crystal modifiers that delay their formation<\/strong>. In this way, the fuel will have no problems working at very low temperatures and vehicle operating problems will be avoided.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, we must keep in mind that the composition of diesel fuel has evolved over the years. Thus, nowadays there are increasingly refined fuels that require new and high-quality antifreeze additives to increase the desired quality of the product.<\/p>\n

And furthermore, not all fuels are the same, as there are different prices, qualities and different treatments that make additives necessary products to improve the quality of the fuels we purchase.<\/p>\n

Application tips for antifreeze<\/h2>\n

First, it is advisable to shake the product container before using it. After this, the product contents should be added to the fuel tank when it is full, taking into account the required dosage.<\/p>\n

Our antifreeze FRISER DIESEL<\/a> is designed to improve diesel fluidity at low temperatures, preventing the formation of paraffin crystals that obstruct diesel engine filters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A very important fact about product use is that increasing the dosage does not mean that protection will be doubled, since diesel does not always behave the same way at low temperatures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
