Diesel fuel cold operability correlation

Study the field correlation of the different cold operability (cold flow and cloud point) test method results in relation to actual fuel performance in engines in real world cold conditions. This shall be done by: a. Performing a study into the feasibility of designing a reference fuel to be used during the (cold weather) vehicle design stage. The parameters of a reference fuel would need to be clearly defined to limit variability in fuel properties in terms of blending consistency, quality and cold flow properties b. Undertaking studies to improve technical understanding of low temperature interactions between particles in fuel and saturated monoglycerides. And to check if there is an impact on vehicle filter blocking.
