2. Winter diesel fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_diesel_fuel

   Diesel fuel is prone to waxing or gelling in cold weather; both are terms for the solidification of diesel oil into a partially crystalline state. Below the cloud point the fuel begins to develop solid wax particles giving it a cloudy appearance. The presence of solidified waxes thickens the oil and clogs fuel filters and injectors in engines.

3. List of gasoline additives - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gasoline_additives

   Acetone is a vaporization additive, mainly used with methanol racing fuel; Butyl rubber (as polyisobutylene succinimide, detergent to prevent fouling of diesel fuel injectors) Ferrous picrate, used in diesel fuel to increase fuel conversion efficiency and reduce emissions; Two-stroke oil, for lubrication of small engines reliant on crankcase ...

4. Hydrostatic head - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_head

   Hydrostatic head is also used as a measure of the waterproofing of a fabric, commonly in clothing and equipment used for outdoor recreation.It is measured as a length (typically millimetres), representing the maximum height of a vertical column of water that could be placed on top of the fabric before water started seeping through the weave.

5. Cold filter plugging point - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_filter_plugging_point

   Current additives allow a CFPP of −20 °C to be based on diesel fuel with a cloud point of −7 °C. The trustworthiness of the EN 590 have been criticized as being too low for modern diesel motors – the German ADAC has run a test series on customary winter diesel in a cold chamber. All diesel brands did exceed the legal minimum by 3 to 11 ...

[1] BMW , General Motors , Fiat Chrysler Automobiles , Ford , Acura / Honda , Toyota , Volkswagen , Mercedes-Benz , Navistar , Audi , and Volvo support the gasoline standard, while General Motors ...

7. Diesel exhaust fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_exhaust_fluid

   To achieve this standard, Cummins and other diesel engine manufacturers developed an aftertreatment system that includes the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF). As the DPF does not function with low-sulfur diesel fuel, diesel engines that conform to 2007 EPA emissions standards require ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel to prevent damage ...

8. Cetane improver - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetane_improver

   The cetane number is a key property of diesel fuel, as it measures its aptitude to self-ignite in the combustion chamber. [8] The auto ignition temperature of diesel fuel is around 220 °C (428 °F) at atmospheric pressure. Cetane improver additives are used to decrease this temperature and lead to quicker combustion, by increasing the cetane ...

9. Diesel fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_fuel

   Diesel fuel, also called diesel oil, heavy oil (historically) or simply diesel, is any liquid fuel specifically designed for use in a diesel engine, a type of internal combustion engine in which fuel ignition takes place without a spark as a result of compression of the inlet air and then injection of fuel. Therefore, diesel fuel needs good ...
