CFBT Test Added to Spec: A new test method is now included in BS EN 590:2013+A1:2017 (Automotive fuels – Diesel – Requirements and test methods), and this is test method IP 618 (Determination of Cold Filter Blocking Tendency). This is something in which has bene introduced after the realisation that over the past few winters the number of diesel filter blocking incidents for cars and light duty vehicles has soared all over the UK. There is definitely a clear correlation between low temperatures and vehicle filter blocking, with it seeming as though temperatures under 3C are critical.
