Testing the cold start capability of an engine after three days in a cold chamber. (car maker facilities in the UK, 1945) Winter diesel fuel (also known as winter diesel, alpine diesel, or winterised diesel) refers to diesel fuel enhanced to prevent it from gelling in cold weather conditions.
Petrol and diesel engines also work less efficiently when cold, and their batteries also suffer more in the winter. Yuasa, a producer of 12-volt car batteries, says : “Cold temperatures directly ...
Cold filter plugging point (CFPP) is the lowest temperature, expressed in degrees Celsius (°C), at which a given volume of diesel type of fuel still passes through a standardized filtration device in a specified time when cooled under certain conditions. This test gives an estimate for the lowest temperature that a fuel will give trouble free ...
A cold start can be difficult for an engine due to higher viscosity of oil and fuel in cold temperatures. Generally speaking, diesel engines have more difficulty starting at low outside temperatures than gasoline engines, and electric engines have the most problems. Diesel engines do not use spark plugs to ignite the air fuel mixture and rely ...

After a relatively mild start to the year, which included above-freezing temperatures and mostly rain, parts of southern New England could be at risk of hearing a few loud booms this weekend as ...
The surface environment does not play a decisive role in the formation of ice and snow. [10] The density fluctuations inside drops result in the possible freezing regions covering the middle and the surface regions. [11] The freezing from the surface or from within may be random. [11]
