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 pour boiling water on a frozen windscreen — the thermal shock will crack the glass. Use a proper de-icer or call us if the vehicle won't start in freezing conditions.
