AMSOIL Diesel Recovery Fuel Treatment is an emergency diesel fuel additive that quickly dissolves gelled fuel and thaws frozen fuel filters, getting you back on the road without a tow truck or a roadside filter swap.
When temperatures drop, the wax naturally present in diesel fuel begins to crystallize. Once the fuel passes its cloud point, those wax crystals agglomerate and clog the fuel filter, starving the engine of fuel. The result is a no-start condition or, worse, a running engine that stalls out on the highway in subzero weather. Low-quality diesel can have a cloud point as high as 40°F, meaning gelling can happen at temperatures most people would not consider extreme.
QUICKLY DISSOLVES GELLED DIESEL FUEL
Diesel Recovery works by separating the molecular bonds of wax crystals that have formed in diesel fuel. Rather than waiting for the fuel system to slowly warm up or calling for a tow, one treatment re-liquefies gelled fuel and restores flow through the fuel system. One 30 oz. bottle treats up to 30 gallons of fuel. For trucks like the Ram 2500 Cummins, Ford F-250 Power Stroke, or Chevy Silverado Duramax sitting in a cold parking lot, this is the difference between driving home and waiting for a flatbed.
THAWS FROZEN FUEL FILTERS
A plugged fuel filter is usually the first symptom of gelled diesel. Diesel Recovery thaws frozen fuel filters in place, reducing the need to buy and install a replacement on the spot. For the fastest restoration of power, you can install a new filter and fill it with Diesel Recovery before reinstalling. But in a pinch, treating the existing filter and tank gets fuel flowing again without hunting down parts in bad weather.
ALCOHOL-FREE AND NON-CORROSIVE FORMULA
Many emergency fuel treatments rely on alcohol-based solvents that, over extended use, can degrade seals, gaskets, and other components in modern diesel fuel delivery systems. Diesel Recovery contains no alcohol and no chemicals that interact with fuel system components. This makes it safe for repeated treatments without risking damage to high-pressure common-rail fuel systems found in late-model diesel trucks and equipment. Corrosion from harsh chemical additives can also lead to premature fuel filter clogging, compounding the very problem you are trying to solve.
COMPATIBLE WITH ULSD, OFF-ROAD DIESEL, AND BIODIESEL
Fuel quality varies widely from station to station, and not every diesel blend responds the same way to cold weather treatment. Diesel Recovery performs well across the range of diesel fuels available today, including ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD), off-road diesel, and biodiesel blends. That compatibility matters for fleet operators, farmers, and over-the-road truckers who fuel up at different locations and may not know exactly what blend is in their tank when the temperature drops.
CHEAP INSURANCE AGAINST EXPENSIVE PROBLEMS
Keeping a bottle of Diesel Recovery in the cab or toolbox of your diesel truck, tractor, or piece of heavy equipment is a simple precaution. A tow from a remote job site or highway shoulder costs far more than a single bottle of fuel treatment. For anyone running a Cummins, Duramax, or Power Stroke through a northern winter, or operating off-road diesel equipment in cold climates, a bottle on hand can save hours of downtime and hundreds of dollars in towing fees.
Application Steps
For maximum effectiveness when encountering a gelled fuel system:
For quicker power restoration, install a new fuel filter filled with Diesel Recovery rather than reusing the existing one.
Preventive Maintenance Note
Diesel Recovery is designed as an emergency treatment for fuel that has already gelled. For preventive cold-weather protection before gelling occurs, AMSOIL recommends Diesel Cold Flow (ADD) or Diesel All-In-One (ADB), which lower the cold filter plugging point and pour point of diesel fuel before wax crystals have a chance to form.
What vehicles and equipment can use AMSOIL Diesel Recovery Fuel Treatment?
AMSOIL Diesel Recovery Fuel Treatment (DRCQT) is designed for a wide range of diesel-powered applications, including auto/light trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles, marine outboards, PWCs, heavy-duty on-road and off-road vehicles, and agricultural equipment. It works in any diesel application that may encounter fuel gelling in cold temperatures.
How does AMSOIL Diesel Recovery fix a diesel engine that won't start in cold weather?
AMSOIL Diesel Recovery works by separating the molecular bonds of wax crystals that have agglomerated in diesel fuel due to cold temperatures. It quickly dissolves gelled fuel and thaws frozen fuel filters, allowing the engine to restart and the operator to continue driving with minimal downtime. Verified users have reported getting their trucks running again in sub-zero weather in no time after using this product.
How much fuel does one bottle of AMSOIL Diesel Recovery treat and how do you use it?
One 30 oz. bottle of AMSOIL Diesel Recovery treats up to 30 gallons of diesel fuel. For maximum effectiveness when encountering a gelled fuel system, remove the existing fuel filter, fill it with Diesel Recovery, reinstall the filter, and add the remaining product to the fuel tank. Then start the engine and allow the fuel system to circulate until full power is restored. For even quicker results, install a new fuel filter instead of reusing the existing one.
How does AMSOIL Diesel Recovery compare to alcohol-based diesel fuel treatments for gelled fuel?
Unlike many competing diesel fuel treatments that contain alcohol, AMSOIL Diesel Recovery is completely alcohol-free. Over extended use, alcohol has a tendency to degrade components of some fuel delivery systems. AMSOIL Diesel Recovery is also non-corrosive and contains no chemicals that interact with fuel system components, making it safer for repeated treatments and helping prevent prematurely-clogged fuel filters caused by corrosion.
What types of diesel fuel are compatible with AMSOIL Diesel Recovery Fuel Treatment?
AMSOIL Diesel Recovery performs well in most diesel fuels, including ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD), off-road diesel, and biodiesel blends. Since diesel fuel quality varies widely from station to station — with some low-quality fuels having a cloud point as high as 40°F — Diesel Recovery is formulated to work across these varying fuel compositions.
Is AMSOIL Diesel Recovery safe for fuel system components and fuel filters?
Yes, AMSOIL Diesel Recovery is completely non-corrosive and alcohol-free, making it safe for all fuel system components. Corrosion from other treatments can damage fuel system parts and lead to prematurely-clogged fuel filters. Diesel Recovery contains no chemicals that interact with fuel system components, so it can be used for repeated treatments without risking degradation of fuel lines, seals, or filters.
