In extreme situations, when available fuels are of poor quality or problems exist which are specific to certain operations,
additives can be used; however, the engine manufacturer recommends consulting the fuel supplier or engine manufacturer
before using fuel additives. Situations where additives are useful include:
• A cetane improver additive can be used with low-cetane fuels.
• A wax crystal modifier can improve fuels with high cold filter plugging points (CFPP).
• An anti-icer can help prevent ice formation in wet fuel during cold weather.
• An antioxidant or storage stability additive can help with fuel system deposits and poor storage stability.
• A lubricity enhancer can be used to increase the lubricity of fuels so that they meet the requirements given in
Table 8.18, page 288.
