10 Ways Diesel Additives Can Help This Winter

Posted: Dec 06, 2010 |

Both here and overseas, the cold snap promises to bring with it considerable disruption. There are numerous precautions you can take in order to minimise this potential chaos, including the use of diesel additives. Here are 10 ways they mighty benefit you this winter.

1. The first thing to note about these chemicals is that is works by boosting the temperature and speed at which the diesel burns. In doing so, the vehicle will receive more energy to make it powerful and efficient.

2. These additives also help to burn fuel more effectively, with vehicle performance increasing by as much as 10% in some cases.

3. They also help by ensuring that the vehicle's injectors remain clean and, therefore, keeps the car performing at a high level.

4. Many diesel additives contain lubricants that are designed to help avoid wearing and tearing of a vehicle's parts, doing their bit to keep you on the road during winter.

5. One type of the chemical that has particular benefits are corrosion inhibitors, which prolong the life of car and lorry engines by working with lubricants to avoid rusting of metal parts.

6. More reliable or better performing vehicles leads to improved fuel economy and fewer repairs, which means lower running costs overall.

7. While the occasional breakdown for the individual can be inconvenient, imagine the impact on a business that relies heavily upon its vehicles. By using these chemicals it means your fleet of cars or lorries can remain on the roads for longer.

8. If your business uses vehicles in extremely cold temperatures, such as those found in countries like Russia or Canada, there is a risk of fuel solidifying into crystal formations and harming the vehicle.

9. Not all overseas fuel is of the same quality you get in the UK, so you may benefit from using diesel additives to ensure your vehicle(s) continue to have high performance and reliability.

10. The cost of running numerous vehicles can be significant enough, without the problems incurred during winter. Taxis, buses and haulage vehicles will be far more cost-efficient to businesses with the use of the appropriate chemical additives.
