Don't let winter slow your engine down

HowesWinter fuel additives are a common tool truck operators use this time of year and over the next few months, as temperatures in parts of the country dip below freezing and stay there for extended periods of time.

That's where products like Howes Diesel Treat anti-gel and Diesel Lifeline rescue treatment come into play.

Howes Diesel Treat prevents gelling, adds lubricity, safely removes water, and boosts fuel economy -- all without alcohol or solvents, which means it’s warranty safe for all diesel emission systems. Diesel Treat also corrects problems inherent in today’s ULSD fuel, the company says, and eliminates smoking and rough idle. It's available in 15-, 32-, and 64-ounce bottles.

Howes Diesel Lifeline, another alcohol-free product, is a rescue product that reliquefies gelled fuel and works to de-ice frozen fuel filters. It does not need pre-mixing before adding to fuel tanks or filters and functions without requiring you to change fuel filters, saving money. It works quickly, often in just 15 minutes, in severe temperatures down to -35 degrees Fahrenheit. It's available in 32- and 64-ounce bottles.
