Freeze Proof Treatment Winterizes Diesel Fuel
"I liked the product so well I decided to become a dealer," says Montana farmer Jim Woodburn, pleased with the performance of Wiseway Product's Anti-Gel for "winterizing" diesel fuels.
"The outstanding feature of this product is that it lowers the pour point of the base fuel 30 to 40?F. This one benefit alone will justify cost of the treatment, which is right at 7 cents per gal. of fuel. No. 2 diesel fuel treated with Anti-Gel will run at temperatures at least 15?F colder than a blend of 50% No. 2 and 50% No. 1 diesel.
"To demonstrate the fuel treatment and verify its performance at farm shows, I have assembled a portable freezer unit that tests fuel samples to -40?F (see photo). This tester uses a 1/3 hp, R-22 compressor and condenser unit salvaged from an old freezer. In addition to merely demonstrating the treatment, the tester allows me to test a customer's fuel prior to treating, and predict how it will perform after treatment.
"Although many summer No. 2 diesel fuels will flow down to -10?F, some will not pour below +10F. Winter No. 2 diesel will pour down to -20?F. After treating with Anti-Gel, these fuels will flow at temperatures 30 to 40?F below their original pour point. The product contains no alcohol or other substances which could harm fuel systems," says Woodburn.
