Harsh winter conditions can put a strain on fleet operations. JPAC Global Energy offers expertly blended seasonal fuels designed to keep your vehicles running efficiently, even in freezing temperatures. Our solutions are tailored to combat winter challenges, ensuring your fleet performs reliably no matter the weather.

What Are Seasonally Blended Fuels, and Why Are They Essential?

Diesel fuel naturally contains paraffin wax, which starts to solidify as temperatures drop, reaching its cloud point between -10°F and 15°F. This can lead to clogged fuel filters, causing disruptions in fleet operations.

Prevent Fuel Gelling With JPAC’s Expert Fuel Solutions

Seasonally blended fuels mix #1 diesel and #2 diesel to lower the cloud point, preventing wax formation. #1 diesel, with a lower cloud point of -30°F to -40°F, provides an added layer of protection for colder climates. At JPAC Global Energy, our fuels are optimized to maintain performance, reduce downtime, and safeguard your fleet from unexpected breakdowns caused by fuel gelling.

The JPAC Global Energy Winter Additive Program

Proactive Additive Management to Meet Winter Demands

From November through March, our Winter Additive Program provides a proactive approach to winter fuel management. Using 10-day weather forecasts, our team adjusts additive levels or transitions to #1 diesel at least 48 hours before anticipated temperature drops. This ensures that your fuel is always prepared for the coldest conditions.

Key features of our Winter Additive Program include:

The Benefits of Partnering with JPAC Global Energy

When you choose JPAC Global Energy as your wholesale fuel provider, you gain access to a range of benefits designed to optimize your operations:

• Regular fuel testing for cloud point and CFPP (Cold Filter Plugging Point).
• Monitoring and addressing water content levels to prevent freezing.
• Weekly inspections of our bulk storage tanks to maintain optimal fuel quality.

By combining predictive analytics with rigorous testing, we help your fleet operate smoothly throughout the winter months.

Essential Winter Fleet Maintenance Tips

Even with seasonally blended fuels, proper maintenance plays a critical role in fleet efficiency. These tips can help maximize performance during the winter season:

1. Replace Fuel Filters Regularly: Wax particles can accumulate in filters, making timely replacements essential.

2. Check for Water in Fuel Tanks: High water content can freeze before wax forms, causing operational issues. Use a drying agent when water levels exceed 100 ppm.

3. Keep Fuel Tanks Full: Reducing airspace minimizes condensation and prevents water accumulation.

4. Use Fuel Heaters or Warm Parking Areas: Prevent freezing by maintaining fuel temperatures.

5. Run Engines Periodically: Circulating fuel prevents wax buildup and ensures optimal performance.

Combining these maintenance practices with JPAC’s winter fuel solutions ensures your fleet stays operational, regardless of weather challenges.

Managing Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) in Cold Conditions

Ensuring DEF Performance Despite Freezing Temperatures

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is vital for maintaining emissions compliance but requires careful handling during winter. DEF freezes at 12°F but remains usable after thawing due to its unique composition of 32.5% urea and water.

Key considerations for managing DEF in winter include:

• Allow frozen DEF to thaw naturally during vehicle operation; heating systems in SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) systems are designed to handle this process.
• Avoid mixing additives with DEF, as this can damage the system and compromise efficiency.

Proper DEF management, coupled with high-quality fuel, ensures compliance and reliable fleet performance.
