Fuel additive reduces engine operability problems
Wax Dispersing Additive (WDA) technology decreases paraffin wax crystal size and shape and disperses the smaller crystals throughout the fuel matrix, minimizing engine operability problems associated with fuel filter plugging below the cloud point temperature. WDA also improves fuel operability in temperatures 25 to 30 degrees below the cloud point.
