Diesel Fuel In Cold Weather
Unaltered diesel fuels thicken and “gel” in cold temperatures, unless treated. Virtually all diesel fuels are “clima-
tized” to allow their use in the particular region for that time of the year. If it becomes necessary to further treat
diesel fuel, it is the owner/operator’s responsibility to add a commercial “standard brand” “anti-gel” diesel fuel
additive, following that product’s directions.
