Pilot Flying J’s procedures for 2023 – 2024 winter additive blending are detailed below. This season, our primary winter diesel additive provider will be Lubrizol (Tellico brand).
General Winter Procedures:
When the outside temperature drops to +15F or less, Pilot Flying J will begin blending a single treatment of cold flow improvers.
If the outside temperature is between +5F to -5F, we will begin double treatments of cold flow improvers.
If the outside temperature dips below -5F, the fuel will be treated with double treatments of cold flow improver and 20% of No. 1 fuel or Kero. Should No. 1 fuel or Kero not be available, triple treatment of cold flow improver will be used.
All stores, except the cold weather locations listed below and stores in Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota, will receive treatment as needed. Treatment will continue until the temperature remains above +15F.
“Cold Weather” Location Procedures:
The following list of “cold weather” locations will follow the above general winter procedures. However, treatment will continue the entire winter season through March 1, 2024, regardless of outside air temperature.
