Cold Weather Diesel Fuel Additive for Fleets

When temperatures fall, fleet managers count on our Cold Flow Improver (OPT-CFI) for maximum protection against fuel gelling and icing, filter plugging, and cold-weather power loss.

Formulated for petroleum terminal operators, fuel distributors, and end users, OPT-CFI is engineered for today’s ultra-low-sulfur diesel, biodiesel, and renewable blends. Its advanced polymers and proprietary wax anti-settling agent (WASA) eliminate the need for kerosene blending, significantly reducing your seasonal fuel expenses.

The Hidden Costs of Winter Fuel Gelling

Every cold-weather breakdown costs you time, money, and reputation. Without proper cold-flow protection, diesel fuel can thicken and block flow to the engine, especially in northern and high-altitude climates.

Our OPT-Cold Flow Improver (CFI) additive offers the following benefits:

Reducing CFPP (Cold Filter Plugging Point) by up to 25°F or more*

Preventing fuel gelling and wax crystallization

Keeping filters clean and improving fuel flow

Eliminating frozen fuel lines and injector strain

Decreasing emergency service calls

Increasing driver uptime

*Performance may vary by fuel type and blend.
