For optimum performance, cold flow improvers should be mixed with fuel before temperatures start to cool down. Since cold flow improvers work by reacting with the wax crystals as they form, additives should be mixed into the fuel at 10-15 °F above the cloud point. Incorporating cold flow improvers into your fuel as soon as ambient air temperatures start dipping down to 0 °C is a good rule of thumb. It is recommended to discuss the condition of fuel tanks and the types of additives delivered in the fuel with your fuel supplier before you add a new product.
Rescue treatments with these products can be effective, but long term use of alcohol based additives as prolonged exposure can lead to internal engine and fuel injector issues.
