Approved Fuel
This engine is designed to run on diesel fuel. Use only high quality fuel meeting ASTM D975 No. 2D,
EN590, or equivalent. At temperatures below 32°F (0°C) winter fuel blends are acceptable. See the engine
manual for more information.
Biodiesel blends up to 5% (B5) are approved for use in this unit. The fuel must meet the specifications for
diesel fuel shown above. In certain markets, higher blends may be used if certain steps are taken. Extra
attention is needed when using biodiesel, especially when operating in cold weather or storing fuel.
Contact your Ditch Witch dealer or the engine manufacturer for more information.
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) poses a greater static
ignition hazard than earlier diesel formulations with higher sulfur content.
Avoid death or serious injury from fire or explosion; consult with your fuel
or fuel system supplier to ensure the delivery system is in compliance
with fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding practices.
NOTICE: Use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (less than 15ppm sulfur content in the US and Canada or
10mg/kg in EU and Japan) in this unit. Operating with higher sulfur content will damage the engine and
aftertreatment device.
