I was looking at where I can find information on this topic, I got the result Azzo, I am doing Copy Paste. It is a very clear and logical experience of our captain brother. I'm a 5-liter shipyard tomorrow. As you know, I am Captain and the ships I work with are Fuel Tankers. In other words, we carry diesel oil, gasoline, fuel oil, so fuel oil has been my specialty for nearly 10 years. Anyway, especially in recent days, the temperatures in our country have been disastrously low. I have been working in Northern Countries for the last 3 years. In the regions where we work, there is 90 cm ice in the sea in the winter, and the air temperatures decrease to -35 - 40 degrees. Since we carry fuel to these countries, we have the opportunity to see and test various kinds of diesel oil. Especially in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Russia there is a diesel called WINTER DIESEL. The freezing point of this reaches up to -40s according to the countries I write. So how is this diesel produced in refineries? First, let's examine this. In fact, there is no special Crude Oil in which this type of diesel is produced. In other words, it is produced by processing the diesel we know. Unfortunately, this type of diesel is not sold in our country. Therefore, in our country, there is an absurd method recommended by industry masters to users. Adding gasoline to the tank. This system diesel is the biggest evil to be done especially for new generation diesel vehicles. Let's come to the reason. If we have science teachers or chemists among us, they will be correct. Density of petrol: 0.76 kg / lt (may be 0.74 according to quality) Diesel Density: 0.88 kg / lt (known as Euro diesel, low sulfur quality fuel) Now we put 5 lt gasoline in our 50 liter tank What will happen, in a short time, the flow rate of the pump will mix with each other and indeed the diesel freezing temperature will be lowered. But you do not use your car very much and you know what will happen if you parked it for more than 24 hours. Gasoline and diesel oil will separate from each other and the gasoline will rise to the top of the tank. Therefore, the underlying diesel will freeze again. In addition, when the end of the tank comes, your diesel pump will draw intense gasoline and your vehicle will run the risk of damage. So, in the winter I want to tell you, do not put any gas in your tank. So what are we gonna do. Here I will write the secret of the WINTER MOTOR prepared for use in these countries. As someone who has carried this burden many times, our secret is KEROSEN. KEROSEN is actually gas oil with its name among the people. Other names 1. KEROSENE2. GAS OIL3- JET A-1 (AIRPLANE FUEL - Notice aircraft gasoline) 4. DIESEL TURBINE FUEL name varies according to countries and refineries.Let's look at the density information of the fuel we call it. exactly the same. However, there are many differences in freezing points. While diesel is freezing at -22, gas oil or JET A-1 freezes at -45 or even -50s. In other words, the freezing point of WINTER MAINTENANCE goes up to -35 numbers with a one-to-one mixture. That is why gas oil is already a good aircraft fuel. That is, the freezing point is able to cope with cold at high altitudes. What I wanted to tell now is what. In other words, friends living in our cold regions can add 15 liters of gas oil to 35 liters of diesel and increase the freezing point to -30 digits, increasing the performance of their vehicles in the winter months and extending the life of their diesel pump, diesel circuits etc. This article is not excerpt. is a document written by me as a result of yearly information.
