Don't let the cold slow you down
We all know that icing is one of the major causes of cold temperature fuel-related problems. As it gets colder, ice crystals begin to form in diesel fuel that contains about 500 ppm of water. In cold weather, diesel fuel is also prone to gelling, the solidification of diesel fuel into a partially crystalline state. These solidified waxes thicken the fuel, and then clog the fuel filters, causing the engine to stop running.
DIESEL GUARD ANTI-GEL DEICER
A highly concentrated multifunctional winter diesel additive for individual vehicle treatment.
Contains wax crystal modifier and deicer to help prevent gelling and icing in ULSD and biodiesel blends up to 5%.
* Multifunctional detergent to keep injectors clean
* Lubricity improver, corrosion inhibitor, stabilizer and cetane improver to help improve cold starts
* Reduces Cold Filter Plug Point (CFPP)
* Reduces Pour Point
* Highly concentrated for easy storage and handling
* One quart treats 250 gallons
* 12-1 qt. bottles per case
DIESEL GUARD D-THAW
D-Thaw gets gelled fuel moving again. Reliquifies gelled diesel fuel and de-ices frozen fuel filters - the two most common causes for winter fuel problems. The most effective product to reliquify gelled diesel fuel and de-ice frozen filters.
* Non-alcohol formula
* Add directly to frozen fuel filter to melt ice and wax
* Will absorb 1/3 cup of water for every quart of D-Thaw
* One quart treats 50 gallons of fuel in a "gelled-up" emergency
* Resolves any gelling diesel fuel in tanks during the cold winter months

CLEAR AND DYED KEROSENE
Dennis K. Burke offers both clear and dyed kerosene in 5 gallon pails and 55 gallon drums. Every 10% of kerosene blended with diesel fuel lowers the cloud point about three degrees.
We carry clear kerosene for winter blending in on-road vehicles, dyed kerosene (non-taxable) for winter blending in off-road vehicles, as well as heaters requiring a K-1 Kerosene.
You can also purchase dyed kerosene at the pump from our gas station located at 410 Beacham Street in Chelsea, or, if you have a jobsite or location running kero we can deliver in for you.

Pre-Winter Tank Maintenance Program
Up to 50% of all winter diesel vehicle breakdowns can be attributed to water and bacteria (bugs) being pumped from the main diesel storage tank into the vehicle. This can cause plugged fuel filters, equipment downtime and lost revenue.
THE DIESEL GUARD PROGRAM
The ValvTect Diesel Guard three-step pre-winter tank maintenance program is designed to keep your fleet up and running this winter by safely removing the two biggest causes of winter shutdowns; water (ice crystals) and bacteria.
STEP1.
PUMP OUT EXCESS WATER
Over time, water builds up in diesel storage tanks creating a breeding ground for bacteria. Even when entrained in a vehicle's diesel fuel, water will begin to freeze when the fuel temperature reaches 32º F., forming ice crystals that can plug fuel filters. First, pump out and properly disposed of excess water in your diesel storage tanks.
STEP 2.
CHEMICALLY REMOVE RESIDUAL WATER
After pumping, any remaining water is removed by treating the next two or three diesel fuel deliveries with Diesel Guard Tank Dri, a water dispersant and freeze point depressant. Diesel Guard Tank Dri is a non-alcohol water dispersant and deicer, formulated to safely remove a controlled amount of water from the diesel fuel's storage tank.
* Safely Removes Moisture
* Reduces the Freeze Point of Water
* Non-Alcohol and Non-Flammable
* One Gallon Treats 7,500 Gallons of Diesel Fuel
STEP 3.
KILL BACTERIA AND BIO-CONTAMINATION
Once all water is removed, "shock" treat the tank with BioGuard Micro-Biocide to kill bacteria and other bio-contamination. BioGuard is the industry's most effective biocide. Spare fuel dispenser filters should be on site to filter out dead bacteria after BioGuard treatment.
* Kills Bacteria and Algae
* Fast Acting
* Ultra Low Sulfur Compliant
* One Gallon Treats 2,500 Gallons of Diesel Fuel
