Vehicles Freeze Up as Severe Cold Hits Most of the Country
Innovative HEET Gas-Line Antifreeze Shares Winter Vehicle Care Tips
(firmenpresse) - CHICAGO, IL -- (Marketwired) -- 02/18/15 -- As brutally cold temperatures and snow continue to plague thousands of people across the country, motorists are finding themselves at a standstill. Although snow poses big challenges to drivers, it''s actually the severe cold that can be the biggest culprit. When vehicles are exposed to severe cold, they can become sluggish, freeze up and stop running altogether. What many don''t realize is that fluids like gasoline and windshield washer fluid can crystalize and ''freeze'' in cold temperatures when not treated properly. To help motorists avoid getting caught in the cold, , the #1 selling gas-line antifreeze and water remover, shares some simple cold weather vehicle care tips to keep you on the road and safe this winter.
- Fuel system freezing occurs when water vapor mixes with residual fuel in the line any time the temperature drops below 32 degrees (F). Adding an antifreeze treatment like to the fuel tank helps remove water from the fuel system to prevent gas-line freeze-up and harmful rust and corrosion. Use it at every fill up to prevent moisture-related freezing during the cold winter months.
- Keep the gas tank at least half full to avoid moisture forming in gas lines and possibly freezing. Gas contains water, and when the gas level gets too low, it can freeze.
y- A vehicle''s battery capacity is lowered when the temperatures are cold. It is essential to inspect a vehicle''s battery, cables, fluids and terminals. There shouldn''t be any sign of cracks in the cables, and terminals should not be loose. It''s also always a good idea to carry a set of jumper cables just in case.
- Keeping fluids full is a must this time of year. Many windshield washer fluids are not rated for severe cold. Look for products like to keep windshields clean and ice-free up to -25 degrees.
- Before hitting the road, check tires for both wear and air. It''s important to make sure the tire treads are still in good shape, as they will help keep the vehicle on the road and make traveling through the winter elements safer. Balding tires can cause major issues including lost traction and even blowouts. Also check the air pressure on your tires. While they should be full, they shouldn''t be too full, or they could burst. Be sure to check the owner''s manual to gauge the proper air pressure for your vehicle''s tires.
