Cold weather can do a number on your vehicle’s engine. When the air temperatures drop below freezing, the mechanical processes that make your car run smoothly can start to stall out and fail. For vehicle owners living in habitually cold regions, like the upper midwestern United States, protecting vehicles and motorized equipment from cold weather is often accomplished with the use of block or engine heaters. But adding in gas-line antifreeze to your tank is never a bad idea, either.
Most modern gasoline contains a certain amount of ethanol. Ethanol is an alcohol, and sits at in your tank in order to fight corrosion and condensation build up. Moisture content in gas tanks and fuel-lines is extremely hard on a vehicle, and in some instances can cause an engine to seize up. Having a stalled out car isn’t the end of the world in warm weather, but it can be extremely dangerous in cold conditions.
