Engine and Equipment Cold Weather Care Tips


Engine and Equipment Cold Weather Care Tips

During the colder months of the year, it’s important to protect your machines, equipment and vehicles from damage due to the cold that could end up causing costly repairs or irreversible damage. Whether you serve the automotive, heavy-duty, energy, construction, agricultural, industrial or marine and railroad industries, here are some tips on how to protect and make your equipment safe to operate during cold weather with STARFIRE products:

Avoiding start-up problems
When the temperatures drop in the winter, engines can experience problems starting due to elevated engine compression, difficulties circulating oil and air density. But Starfire’s professional-grade engine starting fluid, STARFIRE TEC-A-START, can help if you are experiencing start-up issues in your car, truck, bus, tractor, motorcycle, chainsaw, boat or go-cart by combining active, volatile solvents, upper cylinder lubricant and corrosion inhibitors. This premium product is designed to assist with starting all diesel and gasoline engines, reduce wear on starters and spark plugs, and save battery life, which ultimately saves you time and money on maintenance and repairs for your equipment.

Avoiding obstructed vision
In addition to start-up issues with engines, cold weather can bring moisture and frost that can obstruct your view and make it dangerous to operate your equipment or vehicle. STARFIRE Windshield Washer Fluid provides freeze protection for temperatures as frigid as -20°F and clears windshields from frost and ice to improve visibility and increase your safety.

Preventing fuel line freeze-ups
Cold weather can also bring increased risks for fuel line freeze-ups, which occur when a gas tank that is not full fills up with air that eventually freezes. But STARFIRE Gas Treatment is a line of alcohol-free chemicals that clears out gum, varnish and ice if your fuel line does freeze, and it prevents further issues from freeze-ups in the future.
