Are You Ready for the Cold Weather Headed Your Way?

What About Cummins?
What have they said about our engines in cold weather?

In Issue #83 of the magazine, we reprinted an article found within a Cummins corporate newsletter. In the article, Cummins provides cold-weather operation and winter-ready tips for Cummins Turbo Diesel engines. Since this was from 2014, we reviewed the information and find it to still be very much relevant and useful today.

Worth a review, these practical cold weather tips cover:

• Engine Block Heater
• Fuel Filter Heater
• Battery Blankets
• Grille Covers
• Grid Heaters
• Starting Fluids
• Temperature’s Effect on Diesel Fuel
• Wax Build-up
• Fuel Additives
• Low Temperature Biodiesel Performance

Next week we are supposed to get below 10F temps, and today I installed the winter front.

I also drained the fuel filter and found a couple droplets of water in it. So to add to #6 (or make a #8), is to check/drain the WIF.

I also run standard doses of Hotshots EDT.
