What causes diesel engines to be harder to start in winter?
Diesel engines are often harder to start in winter. This hard start condition is very often due to engine deposit build-up. Over time, internal engine deposits continually build up and very often have an adverse effect on many areas of engine performance, especially cold starting. Here’s a solution…
“I was getting a ton of exhaust smoke from my Yanmar 4-cylinder turbo diesel boat engine. Especially on cold start, it was really hard to fire up, and when it did, so much white smoke! It’s a 2010 with only 1800 hours, I don’t think it has ever worked hard. I fitted new injectors hoping to fix it, but the problems stayed. I ordered the FTC Decarbonizer and really soon it all started to improve. I’ve only run it about 3 hours so far, but already it is running so much smoother and quieter, the exhaust smoke has all but disappeared completely, and even though it’s snowing here right now, mid-winter Seattle, the engine starts right up immediately with NO white exhaust smoke! Many thanks, good product!”
