Description
Contains polymer based cold flow improvers –prevents diesel ‘waxing’ at low temperatures, down to -28° CDisperses and emulsifies water contamination and deposits –protects storage and fuel tanks against corrosionBurns off with minimal residue –very low ash depositsCleans valve and injectors –improves engine efficiencyContains lubricity additives and anti-oxidants –improves fuel stability
Application
Diesel Anti-Wax 2 is a complex blend of additives to treat contaminated diesel fuel and should be used, primarily, as a preventative measure for on and off road diesel and bio diesel fuels. The main functions are reducing the Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) by inhibiting and modifying the shape and size of wax crystals – down to -28° C, corrosion inhibitor, water emulsifier, detergent and lubricant. The additives in Diesel Anti-Wax 2 will help to restore / maintain injectors etc. keeping them clean and free from deposits, allowing the vehicle to achieve optimum fuel consumption and emissions.

Treatment of Fuel Storage TanksFor the treatment of storage vessels suffering from water contamination, the following procedure should be followed.Any significant quantities of sludge or solid matter present in the tank should be physically removed otherwise filter blockage is a possibility.With the tank at approximately 25% capacity, Diesel Anti-Wax 2 should be added at up to 5 litres per 1000 litres of tank capacity, depending on the severity of the contamination. The vessel should then be refilled with fresh fuel accordingly.Cold Weather UseTo improve the cold flow characteristics of diesel fuel and prevent the onset of ‘waxing’, the following procedures should be followed.Treatment is best carried out immediately prior to filling the tank, unless it is possible to agitate the fuel in situ.With the tank at approximately 25 – 50% capacity, add the required quantity of Diesel Anti-Wax 2 to treat the total tank volume. Top up the tank with fuel to mix the additive evenly.The results achieved are dependant on the quality and seasonal specification of the original fuel. The following suggested dose rates are guidelines only.Ambient temperature Dose per 1000 litres diesel 0 to – 5° C 1 litre
-5° C to -15° C 3 litres
-15° C to -20° C 4 litres
-20° C to -25° C 6 litres
-25° C 8 litresIt is recommended by the additive manufacturers that Cold Flow Improvers should be added to the fuel when it is at a temperature at least 10OC above the fuel’s cloud point. Diesel Anti-Wax 2 contains dispersants that allow the additives to combine with the fuel at temperatures lower than this, but it should be noted that once the cloud point of the fuel is reached, or wax crystals have started to form in the fuel, the addition of additives will not reverse the process, only warming the fuel to a temperature well above the cloud point will achieve this. Diesel Anti-Wax 2 may then be added to the fuel to protect against a recurrence of the waxing.
