Observations on Successful Management and Problem Solution of Wax Related, Low Temperature Flow Properties of Low Sulfur Diesel Fuels

This paper discusses the observations, laboratory analysis, and approach implemented in addressing wax related, low temperature flow problems of low sulfur diesel (LSD) fuels that have been effective in field use. It should be carefully noted that this was not a controlled field test. The authors believe that the observations, data, and correlations are significant enough to warrant dissemination. They suggest that a controlled study would be of extreme value to further solving wax related diesel operations effected by low temperature conditions.
