Mid-County Premium Diesel : Winter Fuels
Our Mid-County Premium Winter Fuel additives are specifically formulated for use in all types of diesel including biodiesel blends . Our combination of WASA , Cold Flow Improvers and De-icer added to our premium fuel package will provide cold weather protection without sacrificing fuel economy .
WASA-Wax Anti-Settling Agent
• Wax modifier inhibits the attachment of wax molecules to each other , preventing the formation of larger wax compounds that can plug fuel filters
• WASA helps keep the wax crystals small and suspended so that they flow through the fuel system rather than plugging filters Cold Flow Improvers
• Mid-County Winter Fuels will improve operability of fuel to 20 degrees below the cloud point De-Icer
• Prevents water in fuel from forming ice crystals which leads to plugged fuel filters
• Mid-County Winter Fuel is glycol based , performs the same as jet fuel de-icer , and contains no alcohol Detergency
• Reduces or delays thermal oxidation , the leading cause of black filters which can lead to filter plugging
• Mid-County Winter Fuel provides the detergency needed to achieve a “ clean up ” rating in the DW10 Standard Injector Coking Test
• Keeps injectors clean and maintains proper fuel spray pattern to avoid incomplete combustion Stability
• Improves storage life by 2-3 times as long without additives by preventing the formation of gums
• Reduces or delays thermal oxidation to prevent filter plugging Emissions
• Reduces black smoke by up to 93 %, decreases NOx , HC , CO , and PM Corrosion / Rust Inhibition
• Prolongs fuel system life by preventing corrosion and rust of fuel injectors and fuel tanks Lubricity
• Exceeds lubricity standard in ASTM D975 and EMA premium diesel requirement

When we deliver bulk fuels , we have a more tailored program to meet your needs . We can offer straight # 2 fuels , straight # 1 fuels or blends . When winter is in full swing , we typically will blend 60 % # 2 and 40 % # 1 with an additive to easily achieve a fuel that will flow under -30 below . There are other factors to consider with winter fuels :
Bio Diesel – What do I do if I still have B20 left in my tank ? Tank Filters & What Micron to use – How often should I change filters on my storage tank & equipment ? Water in Tanks – How do I know if I have water in my tanks or equipment ? Answers to these questions are different for everyone and there is no “ one size fits all ” answer . Please call us at 952-466-3720 with any questions relating to your energy needs .
