Product Description
AMSOIL Diesel Recovery (DRC) is an emergency diesel fuel treatment that dissolves the wax crystals that form when diesel fuel has surpassed its cloud point. Diesel Recovery liquefies gelled diesel fuel and thaws frozen fuel filters, avoiding costly towing charges and getting diesels back on the road.

AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic lubrication, produced the world’s first API-qualified synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL, The First in Synthetics®, to do the best job protecting your engine.

Fast Fuel Recovery
Diesel applications operating in extremely cold environments face some unique challenges. As the temperature drops, wax naturally found in diesel fuel begins to form crystals. The point at which wax crystals form is known as the cloud point. These wax crystals can eventually clog the fuel filter and starve the engine of fuel, preventing it from starting or even stalling out a running engine.

AMSOIL Diesel Recovery quickly dissolves gelled fuel to allow the operator to continue driving with minimal downtime. Diesel Recovery separates the molecular bonds of wax crystals that have agglomerated in diesel fuel. It thaws frozen fuel filters and reduces the need for a new filter, saving money and preventing an inconvenient trip to an auto parts store.

• Quickly Dissolves Gelled Fuel
• Thaws Frozen Fuel Filters
• Performs Well in ULSD, Off-Road & Biodiesel
• Alcohol-Free
• Non-Corrosive

Works Well in Many Diesel Blends
The marketplace offers many different diesel fuels, all with varying quality. AMSOIL Diesel Recovery performs well in most diesel fuels, including ULSD, off-road and biodiesel.

Non-Corrosive, Alcohol-Free Formulation
Over extended use, alcohol has a tendency to degrade components of some fuel delivery systems. AMSOIL Diesel Recovery contains no alcohol, making it safe for repeated treatments. In addition, Diesel Recovery is non-corrosive and contains no chemicals that interact with fuel system components. Corrosion can damage fuel system components and lead to prematurely-clogged fuel filters.

Safety in a Bottle
Diesel fuel quality varies from one filling station to the next, and low-quality fuel can have a cloud point as high as 40°F. A bottle of Diesel Recovery in the glove box is cheap insurance against being towed to a service station or getting stranded somewhere in subzero temperatures.

Recommendations
One 30oz. bottle of Diesel Recovery treats 30 gallons of fuel. When encountering a gelled fuel system, AMSOIL recommends taking the following steps for maximum effectiveness:

• Remove the existing fuel filter.
• The filter can be reused, or a new filter can be installed.
• Fill the replacement fuel filter with AMSOIL Diesel Recovery.
• Install the replacement filter.
• Add the remaining Diesel Recovery to the fuel tank.
• Start the engine and allow the fuel system to circulate until full power has been restored.

Note that this is for DIESEL fuel NOT gasoline.

Diesel fuel does not like Alcohol like in Seafoam or 911.

If you are reading any diesel forum out there, there are a lot of cases of gelling already. The ULSD are not very good in the winter time.
 
Most of the time, if your too this point...your in trouble. You should have treated your fuel or over treated your fuel. A fuel conditioner should be poured into the tank then filled with diesel fuel.

However, this product will work very well in a pinch! Like it said, unspin the fuel filter...drain out any fuel left in it,or if you have another filter fill back up with 100% of the product.

The engine won't fire up as easy as stated, but as the product works through the system it will unclog the wax crystals and the engine will eventually start.

Moral of the story...treat your diesel fuel...that way you won't be sitting somewhere covered in stinkie diesel fuel and this product trying to get your engine started.
