February 4, 2009—Mansfield Oil has announced a comprehensive solution for national fleets hurt by high winter fuel costs. Compared to the cost of using #1 diesel or kerosene, companies who use Mansfield ColdPro can save from 10 to 30 cents per gallon on their winter diesel fuel. The new program has been welcomed by over 200 customers including PepsiCo and Allied Waste.
Commercial and government fleets that operate in conditions below 15 degrees Fahrenheit face challenges as diesel fuel gels and clogs fuel filters. Local fuel managers use a host of solutions to mitigate the problem, from fuel heaters to cold flow additives and large diameter fuel filters. But ColdPro is the only cold weather program with national reach, says Mansfield Oil. Since the program’s launch this season, ColdPro customers have used 22 million gallons of winterized fuel across 1,000 sites, racking up savings of over $4.4 million.
The Mansfield ColdPro program achieves success where other cold flow improvement methods fall short because of its chemistry, which is matched to the specific pipeline and terminal fuel specifications in each market area, says the company.
