What to do if the diesel oil of the excavator is frozen

The diesel oil in the oil tank of the excavator is frozen due to cold weather, which makes the excavator unable to start. Some operators may use the method that directly ignition under the fuel tank to defrost the diesel. Although the boiling point of diesel oil is 170~390 ℃, the fuel tank is a closed space. If the temperature is too high, explosion may occur. This article will explain how to deal with the diesel oil found frozen on the excavator.
1. After starting the excavator, let it stand for a minute or two. Let the engine, including the heater in the fuel tank, heat the diesel oil to ensure the fluidity of the fuel tank.
2. If the oil pipeline is frozen, the oil pipeline can be watered with hot water. As long as the oil circuit can be recycled.
3. When diesel is frozen, the best way to deal with it is to find a trailer and drag it back to the maintenance point. Let it naturally melt in a warm environment, and then replace it with diesel fuel with high freezing point.
4. In order to prevent diesel from wax deposition at low temperatures, antifreeze can be added to the fuel tank. The cold filter point and freezing point of diesel oil are reduced, and the low temperature flow performance of diesel oil is improved. Prevent wax deposition. Make the cold start of the engine smooth.
