COOLANT
Danger – Attention
- The uid coolant circuit is pressurized. Inspections must only be made when the engine has cooled and even in this
case, the radiator or expansion chamber plug must be unscrewed with the utmost caution.
- If an electric fan is installed, do not approach a hot engine since the fan itself could start up even when the engine is
at a standstill.
- Coolant uid is polluting, it must therefore be disposed of in the correct way. Do not litter.
The anti-freeze protection liquid (AGIP ANTIFREEZE SPEZIAL) must be used mixed with water, preferably decalcied. The freezing
point of the cooling mixture depends on the product concentration in water, it is therefore recommended to use a 50% diluted
mixture which guarantees a certain degree of optimal protection. As well as lowering the freezing point, the permanent liquid also
raises the boiling point.

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.
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
- Winter up to -10°C
- Alpine up to -20°C
- Arctic up to -30°C
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 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 percent oil is added).
Fuel with low sulphur content
Fuel with high sulphur content
EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION
