This method describes the procedure for determining the filter plugging tendency of diesel fuels at low temperature due to the formation of wax crystals.

The method applies to all distillate diesel fuels. Fuels passing this test are expected to provide satisfactory fuel flow in automotive equipment at temperatures equal to or higher than that of the test.

This method is referenced and compared in ASTM D 4539.

The testing and evaluation of a product against this method may require the use of materials and/or equipment that could be hazardous. This document does not purport to address all the safety aspects associated with its use. Anyone using this method has the responsibility to consult the appropriate authorities and to establish appropriate health and safety practices in conjuction with any existing applicable regulatory requirements prior to its use.
