Approved fuels
In order to comply with the rules concerning emissions,
Diesel engines provided with an exhaust gases treatment
system may be operated only with a Diesel fuel free of
sulphur.
Both the operation safety and the duration of each system
of exhaust gases post-treatment are not guaranteed in
case of not compliance.
Fuels with the following specifications are allowed:
• Diesel fuels
– EN 590
Sulphur < 10 mg/kg
– ASTM D 975 Grade 1-D S15
– ASTM D 975 Grade 2-D S15
Sulphur < 15 mg/kg
• Light fuel oils – EN 590 quality
Sulphur < 10 mg/kg
The warranty becomes null and void if fuels not meeting
this operation manual are used. Certification measure-
ments to comply with the law limits are carried out with
test fuels defined by law. Such fuels match the ones de-
scribed in this manual and refer to standards EN 590 and
ASTM D 975. For other fuels mentioned in this manual
the emission values cannot be guaranteed.
Use the fuels prescribed by law to comply with national
indications on emissions (e.g. sulphur content).

Winter operation with Diesel fuel
For winter operation, special requirements are required
for cold operation (limit filterability temperature). In winter,
suitable fuels are available at service stations.
At low ambient temperatures the fuel system could be-
come clogged by paraffin precipitations, that could cause
malfunctions. When outside temperatures drop under 0
°C (up to -20 °C) a winter fuel must be used, available at
service stations since the beginning of the winter season.
• In regions with an arctic climate, with temperatures up
to -44 °C, special Diesel fuels should be used.
NOTE: For information concerning the use of suitable
fuels depending on climatic conditions of operation, refer
to your Argo Tractors Dealer.
