Stay Warm

All diesel fuels (other than #1) contain dissolved waxes. At cold temperatures these waxes crystalize, leading to filter plugging and fuel gelling greatly reducing flue flow, and adversely affecting the operatability of vehicles.

With biodiesel, and ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD), there are new cold weather challenges. While proper fuel winterization normally avoids trouble, both biodiesels and ULSD may experience wax crystalization and gelling at higher than expected temperatures. Keeping this in mind, it is necessary to design an efficient fuel heating system for all cold weather applications.

Racor offers a number of efficient heaters for low flow applications and recommends using at least 200 watts of thermostatically controlled electric heating in the head and/or filter bowl. Pour point suppressants and biocides are also necessary for reliable operation and a coolant heat exchanger is required in extreme cold weather conditions.

For higher flow applications the problem is more challenging. To assure cold condition operation, a large amount of energy is required. Several options are available:

- Efficient 350-500 watt electric heater

- 150-300 watt start-up heater in conjunction with a coolant heater

- Combination coolant heater with electrical heater.
