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

Functional reliability for diesel injectors in winter

The Super Diesel Additive is an ideal all-rounder for operation in winter. It removes deposits in the injection system and combustion chamber and prevents them from forming again. As a result, the cleaned engine system consumes less fuel and pollutant emissions are reduced. The additive maintains all components of the diesel injection system and prevents the nozzle needles from seizing and gumming up. It also increases the cetane number and thus improves the ignitability of the diesel fuel. The engine can thus be started reliably, especially at low temperatures. In addition, smooth engine running is guaranteed and the entire fuel system is protected against corrosion and wear.

  • prevents build-up of deposits
  • prevents seizing and injector gumming
  • optimizes engine performance
  • ideal with catalytic converters
  • keeps injection nozzles clean
  • keeps the fuel system clean
  • high wear resistance
  • good corrosion protection
  • guarantees low fuel consumption
  • for low-sulfur diesel fuels
  • increases lubricating
  • increases cetane number
  • effective cleaning

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

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.

  • improves filter properties
  • secures winter operation which would otherwise be affected by the cold
  • self mixing
  • good response behavior
  • suitable for all diesel fuels (summer and winter diesel grades according to DIN EN 590) and fuel oil
  • simple to use

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
