Steve Sikorsky in the Howes Lubricator Lab talking about Bio Diesel Fuel and how the Howes product
line can combat the problems that come along with it.
As the ambient air temperatures fall, the ability for water to condense in fuel tanks increases and can be carried into the filter/heater unit. During periods of extreme cold this should be done on a daily basis. The fuel filters are the only protection the engine has against contaminants in the fuel. A larger micron fuel filter should never be used to extend filter life or increase flow. It may void the warranty and can be damaging to the pump and/or the injectors.
You will do more to COOL the engine by idling a truck coming off the road vs. shutting it off. (Engine temperature rises approx. 18 degrees when it is shut off.) Conversely, starting a cold truck and letting it idle is futile. If you need to warm a truck thats been sitting, get in it and drive it around the yard and exercise the truck once it has reached maximum oil-pressure. This will warm the engine, transmission, differential and suspension. Not to mention prevent running the risk of potential fines for idling for both the driver and the organization.

Thanks,

Howes additives are petroleum based. They displace or demulsify water rather than absorb or emulsify it. This is the method preferred by engine manufacturers.
