From the opening
Diesel contains waxy molecules that stay liquid in mild weather and crystallize as the fuel cools. Winter diesel is the same family of fuel blended and treated so it still flows and filters at the low temperatures the season actually brings. The opening covers wax crystals plug cold filters, blend and additives set the grade, and the spec follows the climate.
The rest of the brief — the later sections and the reading notes — opens after Stripe confirms payment.
