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, Ralph and Charolette Fullenwider Ralph's RV Solutions, Duncan, Oklahoma |
