Two Additives in One
New Diesel Concentrate Plus Cold Flow Improver (DFC) provides
top performance and convenience.
AMSOIL now offers a premium, year-round diesel fuel additive that provides improved
efficiency and maximum cold-weather performance. AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate Plus
Cold Flow Improver (DFC) combines the superior detergency of AMSOIL Diesel
Concentrate (ADF) and the excellent anti-gelling properties of AMSOIL Cold Flow
Improver (ACF) in one convenient package without sacrificing performance.
Improved Efficiency
AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate Plus Cold Flow Improver is formulated with excellent
detergency properties to help keep injectors, rings, piston crowns and the fuel pump
lubricated. By improving injector performance, combustion becomes more efficient and
less soot is generated. Diesel Concentrate Plus Cold Flow Improver cleans dirty injectors,
improving fuel economy by up to five percent and restoring horsepower to like new.
Acceleration is improved and with regular use, Diesel Concentrate Plus Cold Flow
Improver continues to enhance performance by keeping injectors clean. The net savings
on fuel expense can result in no additional cost to vehicle operation.
Superior Cold-Weather Performance
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, preventing 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). The point at
which the wax crystals clog the fuel filter is known as the cold
filter-plugging point (CFPP).
AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate
Plus Cold Flow Improver lowers the CFPP by as much as 34°F
(19°C) in ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD).
It also reduces the pour-point temperature of treated diesel fuel,
providing better fuel delivery to the injectors during cold
weather. It is formulated with a jet-fuel-type deicer that controls
ice formation in all sections of the fuel system. Diesel
Concentrate Plus Cold Flow Improver minimizes the need for
the use of #1 diesel fuel, enabling better fuel economy, performance
and lubricity. Product performance may vary depending
on diesel grade and quality.
Pour Point Vs. CFPP
It is important to distinguish between CFPP and pour point.
Many competitors 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.
Ultra-Low-Sulfur Diesel Fuel Challenges
The reduced sulfur levels in modern ULSD result in reduced
lubricity, the property that controls wear in the fuel injectors and
fuel pump. Improving lubricity in ULSD is difficult because it
must be done without adding sulfur back into the fuel.
Additionally, ULSD is subjected to extensive refining, making it
even more difficult to treat. AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate Plus
Cold Flow Improver is formulated specifically for modern ULSD
fuel. It improves lubricity, helps maintain engine oil TBN and
prevents soot loading.
Recommendations
One 16-oz. bottle of Diesel Concentrate Plus Cold Flow Improver
treats 40 gallons of fuel. Diesel Concentrate Plus Cold Flow
Improver will show no signs of solidifying in its concentrated
state in the bottle until the temperature reaches -22°F (-30°C). It
will only freeze in its concentrated state, and AMSOIL recommends
storing it at temperatures above 0°F (-18°C). If Diesel
Concentrate Plus Cold Flow Improver is allowed to freeze in the
bottle it can be thawed and used. When mixed with diesel fuel,
Diesel Concentrate Plus Cold Flow Improver effectively
improves diesel fuel cold-temperature properties.
Because DieselConcentrate Plus Cold Flow Improver will not dissolve wax crystals
which have already formed in the fuel, it is recommended that
fuel already in the tank be treated at temperatures above 32°F
(0°C). When filling the tank with fuel from an underground tank,
it may be treated with Diesel Concentrate Plus Cold Flow
Improver when temperature is below 32°F (0°C) because the fuel
itself is warmer.
AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate Plus Cold Flow Improver meets
federal regulations for ULSD fuel. It complies with federal lowsulfur
content requirements for use in diesel motor vehicles and
non-road engines. While Diesel Concentrate Plus Cold Flow
Improver is formulated specifically for ULSD fuel, it is also
effective with non-ULSD fuels, including biodiesel.
AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate Plus Cold Flow Improver is specifically
formulated to improve the lubrication of fuel system components,
improve fuel flow, help maintain fuel integrity and prevent
the fuel filter and injectors from clogging. Diesel
Concentrate Plus Cold Flow Improver is recommended for dieselpowered
vehicles, home heating oil and kerosene heating systems.
