Mid-County Premium Diesel: Winter Fuels
Our Mid-County Premium Winter Fuel additives are specifically formulated for use in all types of
diesel including Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) and biodiesel blends. This additive contains less
than 15 ppm sulfur, meeting the EPA requirements for use with ULSD. 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 modifi er inhibits the attachment of wax molecules to each other, preventing the formation of
larger wax compounds that can plug fuel fi lters
• WASA helps keep the wax crystals small and suspended so that they fl ow through fuel system rather
than plugging fi lters
Cold Flow Improvers
• Mid-County Winter Fuels will improve operability of fuel to 20 degrees below the cloud point

• Prevents water in fuel from forming ice crystals which leads to plugged fuel fi lters
[email protected]
• 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 fi lters which can lead to fi lter 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 fi lter 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 off er straight #2 fuels, straight #1
fuels or blends. When winter is in full swing, we typically will blend 70% #2 and 30% #1 with an additive to easily achieve a
fuel that will fl ow 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 fi lters 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 diff erent for everyone and there is no “one size fi ts all” answer. Please call Rich Pauly or
Quay Zander at 952-466-3720 with any questions relating to your energy needs.
