DIESEL FUEL
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Purchase diesel fuel in small quantities and store in clean, approved containers. Clean fuel prevents the diesel fuel injectors and pumps from clogging. Do not overll the fuel tank.
Leave room for the fuel to expand. Immediately clean up any spillage during refueling.
Never store diesel fuel in galvanized containers; diesel fuel and the galvanized coating react chemically to each other, producing aking that quickly clogs lters or causes fuel pump or
injector failure.
High sulfur content in fuel may cause engine wear. In those countries where diesel has a high sulfur content, it is advisable to lubricate the engine with a high alkaline oil or alternatively
to replace the lubricating oil recommended by the manufacturer more frequently. The regions in which diesel normally has a low sulfur content are Europe, North America, and Australia.
FUEL TYPE
For best results, use only clean, fresh, commercial-grade diesel fuel. Diesel fuels that satisfy the following specications are suitable for use in this engine: ASTM D-975 - 1D or 2D,
EN590, or equivalent.
FUELS FOR LOW TEMPERATURES
It is possible to run the engine at temperatures below 0°C using special winter fuels. These fuels reduce the formation of parafn in diesel at low temperatures. If parafn forms in the
diesel, the fuel lter becomes blocked interrupting the ow of fuel.
Fuel can be: Summer up to .......... 0°C (32°F)
Winter up to .......... -10°C (14°F)
Alpine up to ........... -20°C (-4°F)
Arctic up to ......... -30°C (-22°F)
BIODIESEL FUEL
Fuels containing less than 20% methyl ester or B20 are suitable for use in this engine. Biodiesel fuels meeting the specication of
BQ-9000, EN 14214 or equivalent are recommended. DO NOT use vegetable oil as a biofuel for this engine. Any failures resulting
from the use of fuels other than recommended will not be warranted.
AVIATION FUEL
Aviation fuels suitable for use in this engine include JP5, JP4, JP8 and, JET-A (if 5% oil is added).
