Ignoring the weather could cause your car to break down and become unusable.
Incorrect preparation for cold weather could make it difficult for your vehicle to start, as the fuel, battery, and other parts require the right temperature to work. Ignoring the weather could cause your car to break down and become unusable. You need to understand the winter engine prep to get your vehicle prepared for safe winter driving since cold weather is approaching quickly. This is especially true for those who work heavy equipment and drive diesel cars, like snow removal loaders, cars, or trucks. Read on to learn more!
Adequate Combustion with Diesel Fuel
Diesel engines for the winter can be equipped with a grid heater or glow plug, which is an additional component added to the cylinder head to help warm the air. It is important to check these components before a cold snap since the grid heater and glow plugs could both malfunction. Luckily, you can keep your engine running all winter by replacing it at a reasonable cost. For engines to work at their best, they have to not only be heated enough to start up but also maintained at their existing operational temperature. When working a diesel vehicle in cold temperatures, like below 5 degrees Fahrenheit, you should make sure your block heater is correctly stocked and working.
Coolant Warmers
Although a block heats the engine block, diesel owners and operators can use a coolant warmer. With coolant heaters, the emphasis is on precisely maintaining the coolant at the right temperature, which will lower maintenance costs, filter overloading, thermal cracking, and much more.
Coolant
In cold weather, your engine’s first line of defense is the coolant. Picking coolant and protecting the coolant system might prevent many problems for your engine, including deposits, corrosion, and acidity. Fleet guard coolants are made to suit the demands of many engine types. Give Howard Energy Inc. a call to learn how we can help get your diesel engine ready for the winter weather!
