Both diesel and biodiesel fuels contain certain hydrocarbon molecules that combine to form paraffin wax. The temperature at which these molecules begin to crystalize is called the “cloud point.” This reduces the flow properties of the fuel, clogging fuel filters and even damage entire fuel systems. At temperatures below cloud point, fuels can reach cold filter plugging point (CFPP), where the fuel becomes solid and loses all its flow properties. Exact cloud and CFPP temperat
