Real-World Scenario

Diesel gelling in freezing temperatures? Diesel fuel contains paraffin wax that crystallises in extreme cold, blocking fuel filters and preventing the engine from starting. We carry fuel additives and can clear blocked filters at your door to get you moving.

What NOT to Do

Don't repeatedly crank the engine when it won't start — you'll drain the battery completely and may damage the starter motor. Three attempts maximum, then call us.
