Diesel cars are becoming increasingly popular in our country due to their fuel efficiency and a number of other advantages. Modern engines of this type have already been modernized and have removed some of their former disadvantages and are not inferior in dynamics to petrol engines. However, they still have one significant disadvantage, which is particularly important in winter conditions - starting problems in freezing conditions.

Starting a diesel engine in the cold, what is the difficulty?

More often than not, the reason lies not in the engine itself, but in the fuel it runs on. It contains heavy fractions, including paraffins, which thicken at low temperatures. Everybody knows that diesel is a summer and a winter fuel. In winter it is cleaned of paraffins, and should not freeze in freezing temperatures down to -35 degrees. However, as practice has shown, the quality of diesel fuel at service stations does not always meet these standards.

How do I start a diesel engine in freezing weather?

To avoid this problem, you need to prepare your car for winter in advance. Here's what to do first:

Change the fuel filter;

Change the oil;

Make sure the battery is working properly.

Fit a pre-heater if possible.

In winter, be sure to add antigel to the fuel. Don't rely on the quality of diesel at the pumps. If you can't start the engine the first time, try applying some ether to the intake manifold. You should then wait a few minutes and only then start. If that doesn't help, you'll probably need to warm up the diesel in the tank.

How can technical assistance help?

Warming up a diesel engine is not the most difficult procedure, but it still requires certain knowledge and experience and, most importantly, precision. We do not recommend attempting to light an open fire near the fuel tank, nor seeking help from questionable professionals. Better to pay once and forget about this problem forever.
