As temperatures drop, the demands on your vehicles increase significantly. We will show you how to reduce wear and tear on your vehicle during the cold season and ensure reliable operation.

How to keep diesel and petrol engines running despite winter

Our Super Diesel Additive at a glance

The additive is suitable for all diesel engines, with and without diesel particulate filter, and can be used both preventively and specifically in the event of problems. It is fully compatible with all conventional diesel and biodiesel fuels. One bottle of 250 ml is sufficient for up to 75 liters of fuel (dosage 1:300). The effect lasts for up to 2,000 kilometres. Turbo-tested.

  • Excellent cleanliness

  • Increases the cetane number

  • Enhances the lubrication effect

  • For low-sulfur diesel fuels

  • Ensures lower fuel consumption

  • Good corrosion protection

  • Keeps the fuel system clean

  • Strong wear protection

  • Tested for use with catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters.

  • Optimizes engine performance

  • Prevents the nozzle needles from burning on and resinifying

  • Prevents the formation of deposits

  • Keeps injectors clean

Functional reliability for gasoline injection systems in winter

The Injection Cleaner removes deposits on injection valves, intake valves, spark plugs and in the combustion chamber and prevents them from forming again. Starting difficulties and rough engine running are eliminated and the entire fuel system is protected against winter-related corrosion caused by moisture or deposits.

  • cost-effective due to exact dosage
  • ideal with turbochargers and catalytic converters
  • cleans the injection system
  • reduces pollutant emissions
  • guarantees low fuel consumption
  • removes carbon deposits from intake valves and combustion chamber

Diesel Flow Fit

A well-known diesel problem in the winter: When it gets too cold, the fuel clogs. The cause of this is paraffin, a wax found in diesel. It's not a problem in the summer, but at negative temperatures the liquid wax becomes solid. It crystallizes, and the crystals block the fuel filter. The result: The motor stops receiving fuel and comes to a standstill.

So take the appropriate precautions and make sure your motor stays fit – even in the icy cold: Diesel Flow Fit increases the flow and filtering capacity of diesel fuel and makes it winter-proof at up to -31 °C (depending on the diesel fuel quality). The additive secures the operation of all diesel-operated motors at low temperatures.

But be careful: You will only achieve the optimum effect by putting the additive into the fuel tank before the fuel starts to clog. And be sure not to store Diesel Flow Fit in the car between uses.

Additives for correct decommissioning in winter

Winterizing classic cars or motorhomes is an important process to protect the vehicles from harmful environmental influences. We will show you how to optimally prepare your vehicle for the winter break with the help of additives.

Remove deposits before winterizing 

The mtx carburettor cleaner increases the performance of the engine and optimizes fuel consumption. It also protects the entire fuel system from corrosion during the winter break. By removing deposits in the carburetor, on valves, spark plugs and in the combustion chamber and preventing them from forming again, the vehicle runs reliably when it is restarted, even after a long period of inactivity. The additive also protects against carburetor icing, which can lead to engine failure and expensive damage after winterization.

  • reduces the risk of knocking combustion
  • prevents residues generated by combustion process
  • prevents carburetor icing
  • ideal with turbochargers and catalytic converters
  • cleans carburetors
  • optimizes engine performance
  • normalizes fuel consumption and exhaust emissions
  • has a lasting effect
  • highly economical
  • good corrosion protection
  • increases operational reliability

Preventing fuel ageing during the winter break

A vehicle's fuel contains various components that can cause an ageing process. The unsaturated compounds it contains, known as olefins, react with the oxygen in the air. This produces corrosive acetic acid, which damages the fuel system. Polymers are also formed. These long-chain compounds cause deposits to form in the fuel and clog pumps or valves.
The petrol stabilizer provides a remedy when decommissioning classic cars, convertibles, lawnmowers, chainsaws and other petrol-powered 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines. It has a long-term preservative effect and protects the fuel from ageing and oxidation and prevents corrosion in the entire fuel system.
Also available for motorcycles

  • cost-effective due to exact dosage
  • protects fuel against oxidation and aging
  • has a lasting effect
  • ideal with catalytic converters
  • simple to use

Prevent the formation of bacteria in the diesel system

If moisture gets into the fuel, bacteria will form there over a longer period of time. These microorganisms can damage the entire engine circuit. The common term for this problem is "diesel plague" or "diesel fungus". 
More about diesel plague
The anti-bacterial diesel additive is a highly effective biocide with a broad spectrum of action against bacteria, yeasts and molds. The biocidal active ingredient does not form corrosive combustion products and can be used as a preventative measure on diesel vehicles that have been out of service for a long time, such as motorhomes. The product can also be used to disinfect tank systems that are already contaminated.

  • active in preventing bacterial infestation
  • improves the lubrication properties
  • reduces pollutant emissions
  • keeps injection nozzles clean
  • decontaminates infested tank systems
  • prevents expensive repairs
