The first frost of the year every autumn is an event signifying that the weather is changing. Things begin to cool down, the leaves begin changing colors and falling, and people start to prepare for winter. This is the time of year in which people do what they can to prepare for colder weather so that when it comes, they won’t have to face the elements without help from warm clothing, heat, and maybe a shovel.
The same idea occurs in industries across the country. Businesses begin preparing for the elements that always cause them problems, slow down their operations, and put their vehicles and equipment at higher risks of breakdowns. One major component of winter preparation for businesses everywhere, but especially in the northern states, is acquiring a diesel fuel additive designed to prevent their fuel from gelling. You can find another article on our website that dives deeper into what gelling in diesel fuel is.
Today, Americans watch the cost of nearly everything go up, and diesel fuel is one of the most important items impacted by rising costs. The cost of diesel fuel rapidly increasing not only impacts those that drive diesel vehicles or operate diesel equipment, but it also increases the costs of nearly every consumable in the country as the trucks used to transport these goods use diesel fuel. We are all dealing with these problems, but what can we do to protect ourselves and protect our pockets? We must properly maintain the equipment we own now and try to be the least wasteful we can.
Thankfully, diesel additives have come very far compared to simply being an anti-gel. Using additives can now help in more ways than simply preventing gelling of fuel. In a time where every penny counts, wouldn’t it be nice to feel a little more secure in the fuel you’re paying so much for? As of mid-October 2026, the average price per gallon of diesel fuel in America is around $6.30. Compared to a year prior costing $3.66/gallon, people should pay more attention to fuel efficiency and reliability.
Complete Fuel Treatment from Enertech Labs is not only formulated to prevent gelling by dropping the gel-point of fuel by 30-40 degrees, but it’s also formulated to help the fuel burn more efficiently. When fuel is burned in an engine, the engine can’t burn 100% of the fuel injected. Complete Fuel Treatment improves the amount of fuel burned per piston stroke, leading to better fuel efficiency and less clogging in the exhaust system. Also, Complete Fuel Treatment contains a maintenance level of injector cleaner, therefore cleaning up any and all deposits and preventing injector deposits from returning that lead to more fuel inefficiencies.
These benefits can be attained by using Complete Fuel Treatment in every tank of fuel. You’re either burning clean or you’re burning dirty. All of these benefits come at a very reasonable price – a couple of pennies per gallon. When contemplating what (if anything) to use in your diesel engines this winter, consider using Complete Fuel Treatment for a couple extra cents to protect yourself from costly breakdowns and improve the already expensive fuel to a premium level of quality.
