To improve the performance of summer diesel fuel in winter, kerosene should be added to it (from 10 to 50%) or in exceptional cases only low octane gasoline (up to 30%). This prevents the release of paraffin. Mixing should be done before starting the movement, gasoline is poured into the tank first, and then diesel fuel.
Attention! Adding kerosene reduces engine power.
If the engine does not start, then:
- remove the fuel filter and heat it in a water bath or replace the filter with a new one;
- put the car in a warm room (garage, shop);
- spray the fuel system with hot water;
- install an electric heater on the fuel filter, manufactured by «Bosch» (Germany).
Attention! It is strictly forbidden to use an open flame to heat the fuel system of a diesel engine.
