Will alcohol burn oil wax when the weather is cold?

The main components of alcohol kerosene are alcohol substances, such as ethanol and propanol. Chemically speaking, alcohol substances do have the possibility of freezing at low temperature. When the temperature drops to a certain extent, the alcohol substances in the fuel oil may freeze and form solid crystalline substances.

However, some anti-icing agents and paraffin inhibitors were added to the alcohol kerosene to prevent it from freezing at low temperature. These additives can reduce the freezing point of alcohol substances, thus preventing oil from freezing and maintaining its normal liquid state. Therefore, under normal use, alcohol kerosene generally does not wax in cold weather.

If the alcohol oil you use is waxed at low temperature, it may be due to the following reasons:

1. Too low temperature: in extremely cold environment, even if anti-icing agent and anti-wax agent are added, alcohol burning oil may still freeze and wax. At this time, we can consider replacing the fuel with lower freezing point.

2. Quality problem: Some low-quality alcohol kerosene may be added with anti-icing agent and anti-wax agent, which is not effective enough, or lack of these additives, resulting in easy wax deposition at low temperature.

If you encounter the problem of fuel waxing, it is recommended that you use other types of fuel, such as coal and liquefied petroleum gas, or consult a professional for more accurate advice.
