Don’t let winter cause problems with your diesel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here at Crown Oil, we want to make sure you are aware of the potential problems that can arise during severe weather conditions, such as wind and rain and how we can help you combat them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diesel differs in seasonal specification. Its fuel properties are adjusted seasonally to maintain good low-temperature performance and operability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What does fuel property specification mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Winter fuel can be used all year round as it is more resistant to cold (-12\u00b0C CFPP min). Whereas summer fuel is only certified for use during the warm months, due to its limited resistance to the cold (-4\u00b0C CFPP min).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winter diesel is refined so that its low properties suit the area and period to be used. However, in periods of severe cold weather, the same issues such as performance problems can occur. That\u2019s why it\u2019s vital to follow our recommendations to ensure you get the most out of your fuel this winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If summer grade diesel is used during winter it can be a nightmare for your business:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
