Bulk fuel is delivered to on-site storage tanks, offering lower prices, greater efficiency, and control for businesses with large fleets. The world has been dependent on fossil fuels to a greater degree recently than ever before, and so is…
The Key Differences Between Diesel Fuel: Diesel 1 vs Diesel 2 Fuel

Feb 27, 2024

Diesel #1, or winter diesel, is lighter and resists gelling in freezing temperatures, making it ideal for cold climates. Diesel #2 is denser, offers better fuel efficiency and lubrication, and performs best in warm weather or heavy-duty engines. Diesel fuels come in two main types—Diesel 1 and Diesel 2. While both power diesel engines, they…
DEF in Cold Weather: Temperature of DEF Freezing Point

Feb 22, 2024

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) freezes at 12°F (-11°C) due to its 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water composition. Freezing doesn’t reduce DEF quality, but expansion during freezing can damage containers. Most vehicles use DEF tank heaters to thaw the fluid automatically. Diesel Exhaust Fluid is a mixture of deionized water and urea. This solution is…

How Does Cold Weather Affect the Fuel Economy?

Feb 6, 2024

Cold weather decreases fuel efficiency by 10-20% due to factors like denser air increasing drag, thicker oil creating friction, and longer engine warm-up times. Additionally, colder temperatures cause tire pressure to drop and can decrease the electric-only range of hybrid and electric vehicles, thereby increasing reliance on the internal combustion engine. Cold weather can have…
