Notes regarding diesel fuel
EP02A-F
Due to paraffin separation, the fluidity of diesel fuel decreases re-
markably as the temperature decreases. For this reason, diesel
fuel is divided into two types, “summer” and “winter”.
The effective limit of “winter” diesel fuel during cold-weather
periods is rated at -15 _C. In extremely cold weather, it is recom-
mended that regular petrol (not premium or “high-test” petrol) be
mixed with the diesel fuel up to a maximum concentration of 30 %.
In order to minimize the reduction in performance, be sure to mix
in only as much regular petrol as is absolutely necessary.

When travelling in a foreign country, be sure to obtain information
regarding the diesel fuel in general use in that locality.
Use of a “flow improver”, which can be obtained at most petrol sta-
tions, is recommended.
CAUTION
(1) Because the fuel is highly flammable, mix the diesel fuel
and regular petrol only inside the vehicle’s fuel tank.
(2) If possible, put the regular petrol into the fuel tank be-
fore putting in the diesel fuel.
