3.3.25. Operation during the winter period
Additives in fuel in the diesel engine are not applied, even in the winter. At decrease in surrounding temperature because of paraffin deposits the fluidity of diesel fuel decreases. Diesel fuel becomes dense as honey. For this reason manufacturing firms of mineral oils mix with diesel fuel in the winter of additive, the fuels increasing fluidity and guaranteeing start of the engine at a surrounding temperature to – 15 °C. At very low surrounding temperature however can be required, especially if in a tank "summer" diesel fuel is filled in, to mix a little gasoline.
Addition of gasoline has to be made whenever possible prior to paraffin adjournment process.
Because of an easy inflammability for the purpose of a bezopasnota obespechivaniye prepare mix only in the fuel tank of the car. At the same time whenever possible it is necessary to fill in at first normal gasoline, and then diesel fuel.
As additive of gasoline reduces engine capacity, surely mix only really necessary amount of gasoline.
