When to switch to winter diesel

There's no doubt that during winter in Manitoba, maintenance on your equipment is a crucial part of getting ready for the busy season ahead. While winter diesel can be used through the early stages of spring, it's crucial to use your summer diesel before cold weather hits. Because the seasonal blends are designed to optimize performance in specific seasonal conditions, emptying your tank of summer diesel as much as possible before receiving a winter blend is recommended.

Proper tank maintenance

Keeping your tanks full and changing your filters regularly, twice a year at least, is an excellent way to ensure that you maintain the quality of your Top Tier Diesel or Gasoline. Charette says, "When a fuel tank is left without proper care, it can develop microbial growth. Although the problem is fixable, it's a long and expensive process to repair."

Co-op's Fuel Team experts recommend integrating fuel cleanliness standards into your overall handling and storage approaches. This involves filtering the fuel as it leaves the storage tank before entering your machinery.
