Being stranded in a truck ii
freezing temperatures?
Or reading 500 words abot a new diesel fuel?
Reading any advertisement is probably not your idea of fun.
Ploughing through 500 words about a new diesel fuel could even be considered a chore.
Except that the diesel fuel in question is able to keep trucks on the road in temperatures and conditions that would normally stop them in their tracks.
The name of the fuel is new Mobil Diesel Plus.
'But what's so special about it? 'Aren't all diesels the same these days?'
We can hear the words now. All we can say in reply is an emphatic 'No: Take ordinary diesel fuels. Yes, they may indeed have a Cold Filter Plugging Point of —15`C. Certainly, they're a lot better than they were even two years ago.
But as good as Mobil Diesel Plus? We don't think so.
For the simple reason that it's the most advanced diesel we've ever made.
Which, when you consider the advances Mobil has made in diesel in the last few years, is certainly saying something.
And the improvements haven't been made just to make our lab boys feel good.
Along with a Cloud Point of —5°C and a CFPP of —18°C, Mobil Diesel Plus now has a Wax AntiSettling Agent. Or WASA, for short.
As the name suggests, the WASA enables the fuel to flow properly, even when tempera fall below freezing. And stay So we now have a formul that performs as well on a covered road as it does high-tech laboratory.
Which means if your tru filled with Mobil Diesel Plus th every chance you'll keep c_ even in arctic conditions.
Of course, cynics might feel that despite our enclech all diesel fuels are basicalh the same.
And no doubt on the first freezing night of winter, they'll whack in a few 'off the shelf'
