 Diesel
Cold Flow Improver (DFF)
AMSOIL Cold Flow Improver (ACF) has
been reformulated to provide maximum cold flow capabilities in diesel
fuels. The new formulation provides superior performance over the former
DFF formulation, which is available while supplies last.
Cold Weather
and Diesel Fuel
As the temperature drops, the wax naturally found in diesel fuel begins
to form crystals. 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 or prevent it from starting. While low-quality
fuels may form wax crystals in temperatures as warm as 40°F (4°C), most
fuels have a cloud point near 32°F (0°C).
#1 Diesel Fuel
One traditional solution to cold-weather problems in diesel engines is
the use of #1 diesel fuel, which is diesel fuel diluted with kerosene.
While #1 diesel fuel has an advantage in low temperature operability,
there are also several disadvantages. The energy content of #1 diesel
fuel is about 95 percent of #2 diesel fuel, resulting in reduced fuel
economy and less horsepower. In addition, the kerosene used in #1 diesel
fuel provides less lubrication for the fuel pump and fuel distributor,
increasing the likelihood for wear on these critical components.
Cold Weather
Performance Parameters
There are several areas of diesel fuel improvement touted by various
cold flow additive manufacturers, including pour point, cloud point and
cold filter plugging point (CFPP). Many claims can be misleading, so it
is important to understand this terminology in order to determine which
products truly provide superior performance.
It is important to distinguish between
CFPP and pour point. Many competitive products make great claims
regarding pour point, leading consumers to believe their products are
superior when they actually have an inferior CFPP. Once fuel surpasses
its cloud point, the wax crystals begin to clog the fuel filter. The
CFPP temperature is a more important characteristic than pour point
because the engine will not run if fuel cannot pass through the fuel
filter.
AMSOIL Cold
Flow Improver
AMSOIL Cold Flow Improver provides superior fuel flow to help prevent
filter plugging in cold temperatures. It is formulated for a broad range
of diesel fuels, including #1 diesel fuel, #2 diesel fuel, biodiesel and
hard-to-treat ULSD fuels. AMSOIL Cold Flow Improver minimizes the need
for blending standard #2 diesel fuel with lower quality #1 diesel fuel,
helping maintain fuel economy and keep engines functioning normally. It
is also excellent for use with home heating oil and kerosene heat
systems.
AMSOIL Cold Flow Improver uses a
jet-fuel-type deicer that disperses water to control ice formation
throughout the fuel system. It inhibits wax crystal formation and can
improve diesel pour point by as much as 58°F (32°C), allowing fuel to
flow to the engine more easily and improving diesel engine reliability
in cold temperatures. In addition, AMSOIL Cold Flow Improver lowers the
CFPP by as much as 34°F (18°C) in ULSD.
Concentrated
ACF vs. ACF Blended with Fuel
The new formulation of AMSOIL Cold Flow Improver will show no signs of
solidifying in its concentrated state in the bottle until the
temperature reaches -22°F (-30°C), a great improvement over the previous
formulation, which solidified in the bottle at 0°F (-18°C). Cold Flow
Improver will only freeze in its concentrated state, and AMSOIL
recommends storing it at temperatures above 0°F (-18°C). If ACF is
allowed to freeze in the bottle it can be thawed and used. When mixed
with diesel fuel, ACF effectively improves diesel fuel cold temperature
properties. It is recommended, however, that fuel be treated at
temperatures above 32° F (0°C). ACF will not dissolve wax crystals which
have already formed in the fuel.
Application
Information
AMSOIL Cold Flow Improver is specifically formulated for improving fuel
flow, helping maintain fuel integrity and preventing the clogging of
filters and injectors. It is excellent for use with diesel fuels,
heating oils and kerosene. Two oz. of AMSOIL Cold Flow Improver treats
five gallons of fuel, or one 16 oz. bottle for 40 gallons. The clear
bottles feature an easy-to-read graduation label for accurate
dispensing, helping ensure proper treat ratios.

AMSOIL
is the undisputed leader in synthetics.............
Since 1972,
AMSOIL Synthetics have
proven to be the BEST.
AMSOIL also engineers and manufactures Ea Oil Filters
with Nanofiber Technology which have a 25,000 mile/1-year
service life as well as specialized filtration systems for
commercial and fleet applications in cars and light, medium and
heavy trucks which can filter particles down to less than one
micron (a standard full flow oil filter can only filter to 20-25
microns, and at a reduced efficiency) making oil changes
virtually unnecessary and virtually eliminating engine wear.
These filters have been proven by millions of miles of over-the
road trucks, construction equipment and fleet service.
