  • Diesel Antiifreeze

    Hi Guys,

    I hve not been able to find any info on which antifreeze being used for diesel. As a regular traveller to the Vic snowfields I am a bit tired of trying to time my trips and fuel capacity so I can get Alpine Diesel at Bright. I know there are additives available that offer better protection (Alpine is rated to -5C but you must be near empty when you fill up otherwise you dilute it).

    Alipine diesel is just diesel mixed 50/50 with heating oil so I'm not sure if this is all that healthy for a modern diesel either?

    Any advice greatly received.


    Cheers
    Paul

    I do not know the exact name but give a call to Burson's and they might be able to help you. I went in search for the same last week to Burson's and they were able to find an anti freeze product which they can order and get it in 24hrs. I put in Alpine diesel as you mentioned above with 20 litres still in tank and had no probs. Check the link from BP.

      According to Nulon data their red coolant mixed 50:50 is good down to -37C and 33:67 is good to -18C. Toyota premixed coolant is 50:50 so you shouldn't have a problem.

        Hi,

        Thanks for the reponse but I think what you are referring too is radiator coolant. What I am after is an additive that stops diesel from going gluggy and blocking in the fuel lines. If you park in the snow long enough for the heat to dissipate and the temperature drops a couple of degrees below zero (which it invariably does) you can be in big trouble. I spoke t a towie last year about this and he reckons he gets a lot of business during the snow season when the real cold snaps come through!

        Cheers

          Melbo,

          Thanks, I always end up with Alpine diesel as well but I'll drop into Burson's just to be safe.

            Hi Paul,

            perhaps the solution is to install a Racor diesel filter with the heater option. the 230 or 445 models are most suitable.

              You may need to ask a diesel specialist to see if Alpine diesel is suitable for your vehicle, if it is, your next question should be, are there any aditives that they would recommend, and then the next question is, where can I get it, they maybe able to sell you it or at least point you in the right direction.
