How to dilute diesel fuel

Drivers whose machines are refilled - in common "diesel", sometimes face a problem that it becomes very thick - freezes. It may be happening if it was not special winter diesel fuel in the tank in winter, and the summer, which was in the warm garage.

In order for the machine to not stand without movement, but still went, frozen diesel fuel will dilute. At the same time, gasoline, kerosene or special antigel additives can be used.

Antigel

The most common way is the dilution of gasoline diesel. And although gasoline is the most affordable diluent, it is not necessary to get involved. Gasoline very much reduces the lubricating properties of diesel fuel, which is both lubricant for the parts of the fuel pump and its nozzles. If, in addition to gasoline, there was nothing more suitable at hand, it should be added to the tank no more than 25% of the total diesel fuel.

Petrol

A more suitable diluent may be kerosene, which on the contrary improves antigel characteristics of diesel fuel, i.e. It becomes not so thick. Special antigels diluting additives are made just on the basis of kerosene. In the frozen diesel cerosene, you can pour 10-20% of the total fuel. Kerosene is two types: aviation and household - you can add to the tank, and the other. At the same time, it is necessary to remember that the particularly purified aviation kerosene can ignore even from static electricity. Therefore, if this type of kerosene is used, the engine engine must have static protection.

The safest way to dilute diesel fuel is a special anti-deduction additive in it. And although its cost exceeds the price of gasoline and kerosene, but the car engine will not experience elevated loads, as when the gasoline is added, and the car is not inadvertently ignored, as when adding kerosene.

Filling

In order for your car to serve you for a long time and did not bring trouble in an unexpected repair plan, fall in winter to the tank special diesel fuel. It is intended for the operation of the machine at low temperatures. If the situation happened that the fuel was froze, pour into the tank only such a number of diluent, which experts on car fuel systems are recommended.
