Diesel fuel oil
The composition of the diesel fuel oil has a great influence on the functioning and
the service life of the engine and the injection system.
The engine output and exhaust emissions are also dependent on the fuel quality.
The diesel fuel must meet European standard EN 590.
The table below shows the requirements for some of the most important properties:
FUEL
Property Requirement
Viscosity at 40°C 2.0 - 4.5 mm2/s (cSt)
Density at 15°C 0.82 - 0.86 kg/dm3
Sulphur (concentration by mass) max. 0.3%
Ignitability (CET rating) min. 49
Flashpoint 56°C
