CRC Industries Starting Fluid
When temperatures plummet and engines refuse to turn over, CRC Industries delivers proven cold-start solutions through their Jump Start line of starting fluids. As a worldwide leader in specialty chemicals for maintenance and repair professionals, CRC has engineered their starting fluid formulations to address the critical challenges of cold-weather engine starting while protecting vital internal components.
Jump Start Formula with Lubricity Technology
CRC's Jump Start Starting Fluid with Lubricity stands out in the starting fluid category by incorporating an upper cylinder lubricant directly into its ether-based formula. This lubricant minimizes wear during cold starts, addressing one of the primary concerns mechanics have about traditional starting fluids—the potential for dry-start damage when cylinders lack proper lubrication. The standard-strength formula balances aggressive starting power with engine safety, making it suitable for both professional shops and DIY enthusiasts.
Extreme Cold Weather Performance
CRC's Jump Start formula is specially formulated to work in freezing temperatures as low as -65 degrees Fahrenheit, extending well beyond what most vehicle operators will encounter even in harsh winter climates. The composition includes heptane, diethyl ether, carbon dioxide, ethanol, and hydrotreated petroleum distillates, creating a volatile blend that ignites readily even when battery power is marginal and ambient temperatures are hostile to combustion.
Universal Engine Compatibility
This starting fluid works with both diesel and gasoline engines, making it economical and versatile for shops and owners maintaining mixed fleets. The formula can also be used on carburetor fuel systems including snowblowers, lawn mowers, and motorcycles, extending its utility beyond automotive applications. The aerosol delivery system allows precise application into air intakes, carburetors, or intake manifolds without flooding the engine or wasting product.
Formulation Details and Safety Features
CRC manufactures Jump Start in convenient 11-ounce and 16-ounce aerosol cans, with the product meeting various industry standards and compliance requirements. The formula is effective to -65°F, complies with ULSD fuel requirements, and is plastic safe, ensuring it won't damage modern intake components or fuel system materials. The carbon dioxide propellant system provides consistent spray pressure throughout the can's life, and the clear liquid formulation allows users to verify proper application.
For professional technicians and serious DIYers who need reliable cold-start performance without compromising engine longevity, CRC Industries' Jump Start starting fluid represents a thoughtfully engineered solution that addresses both immediate ignition needs and long-term component protection.
