Diesel jell point
Hi all:

Just doing a little nosing around, I found in an article that #2 diesel
jells at -15 F it is the wax that jells. It went further to say, # 1 diesel
has no wax so the jell point it much lower than that of # 2 diesel. The
additive works to displace the water in the tanks. It said that water goes
to the bottom of the tank, freezes then floats to the top and as it bangs
around, small pieces break off and plugs the fuel lines.

I am no chemist by any stretch, but found this article on a trucker site,
interesting.

Safe travels,
