MOTORI DIESEL - Operation at low
temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, diesel

diesel are distributed according to the season:
summer type, winter type and arctic type
(cold/mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel
whose specifications are not suitable for the current
temperature, it is advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL

container with the fuel. Pour the additive into the
tank before the diesel fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for a long time in
the mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel
