Quality
Use commercially available diesel fuel with
less than 0.5
0/0 sulphurcontent. Ifthe sulphur
content is higher, oil change intervals should
be reduced (see 6.1.1).
The following fuel specifications / standards
are approved:
• DIN EN 590
• BS 2869:
A1
and A2
(with A2, take note
of
the sulphur content!)
• ASTM D 975-88; 1-D and 2-D
• NATO Code F-54 and F-75
Exhaust

values
which
may
be
determined
in
the case

4.2.2 Winter Fuel
Waxing
may
occur
at
low temperatures,
clogging the fuel system and reducing engine
efficiency. Use winter-grade diesel fuel (up to
-20°C)
for operation below 0 °C. This is made
available within good time by filling stations
prior to the start
of
the winter season.
• Kerosene must be added at temperatures
below
-20°C.
The relevant percentages
are given
in
the adjacent diagram.
• Special diesel fuels may be used in arctic
climatic zones up to -44 °C.
If summer-grade diesel fuel must be used at
temperatures below0 °C, upto
600/0
kerosene
can be added (see diagram).
In
most cases, adequate resistance to cold
can be obtained by adding a flow improver
(additive). Please ask your DEUTZ partner.
&
Diesel fuels
must
never
be
mixed with gasoline
! (Normal and Super grades)!
