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 sufur content, its 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.

PRESCRIBED LUBRICANT

Fuel with low sulphur content

API CF

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 para󰀩n in diesel at low temperatures. If para󰀩n forms in the

diesel, the fuel lter becomes blocked interrupting the ow of fuel.

Fuel can be: - Summer up to 0°C

- Winter up to -10°C

- Alpine up to -20°C

- Arctic up to -30°C
