My parent company is based in Quebec and we regularly discuss the weather. One day the girl in the office said'yeh its cold today' now they never complain about the cold.....she said 'even the preheat is on the car suffered', i asked the temperature......'MINUS 43 centigrade'!!!!!!!!!! I dare say an FL2 may be, insert fob, push start button,go back in doors make a coffee, drink coffee, go back outside and then eventually car fires up..........minus 43 |

The best thing is to avoid waxing (flocking of paraphines) of the diesel fuel by adding the dosis of 2-T oil. But the winter-fuel offered in western Europe from November to March does have a reported waxing resistance up to minus 17° C.

Carlfraz, minus 43° C is very cold, but a dry cold with a humidity of 10 to 15%. What makes this cold so dangerous is the windshield factor, which will increase the cold as you feel it.

Is the electrical heated fuel filter standard on all models or is part of the optional diesel pre-heater? Thanks yamaha-fan. |

At minus 43° C or 58° C could you through a glass of water into the air and watch is freeze instantly, I saw this once on TV and it was amazing. And would your Pee freeze before it hit the floor (if your dared to get frost biten on that area?) or is that just a urban myth? Thinking of a trip to see Santa in Greenland, when my young sons a little older, I'll have to wait till then to experiance them sort of temperatures. Coldest I have had was minus 18° C on the top of a mountain in a whiteout whilst snowboarding in Avoriaz, France Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis |

Attox: yes, the heated diesel filter is standard on all Freely 2 and on most modern diesel cars.

So below what temperatures should we not use 2-T oil YF? I thought that 2-T oil totally difuses in diesel or is it not? I have seen -10 here in Greece, would that cause a problem to a diesel FL2? Btw, anyone knows how resistant to cold petrol is? Ah, one more question: say that your diesel fuel does get waxed and you try to start the engine; would that harm the engine or it just wouldn't start, like if you run out of fuel? |

Cold starting did seem a bit rough the other day, so I've decided to go for a wee bit o' 2-stroke oil - in my case less than Y-F recommended, but near enough at 30cl, or a tiny bit less. Will let you know. |
