8. Tables
8.1 Technical data
For the technical data of the engine, see engine manufacturer manual.
8.2 Fuel
Use a clean Diesel fuel oil according to DIN590:1999 or better. For Generators with common rail or particle filter use
DIN590:2009 or better.
Do not use alternative fuel, because its quality is unknown or it may be inferior in quality. Kerosene, which is very low
in cetane rating, adversely effects the engine.
8.3 Engine oil
8.3.1 Engine oil classification
8.3.1.1 Operating range:
The operating range of an engine oil is determined by SAE class. „SAE“ is for the union of American auto engineers
(Society of Automotives Engineers).
The SAE class of an engine oil only informs over the viscosity of the oil (larger number = more viscous, smaller
number = more highly liquidly) e.g. to 0W, 10W, 15W, 20, 30, 40. The first number shows the liquid of the oil with
cold weather, the second number refers to the fluidity with heat. Complete yearly oils have usually SAE classes of
SAE 10W-40, SAE 15W-40 etc.
8.3.1.2 Quality of oil:
The quality of an engine oil is specified by the API standard („American Petroleum Institutes“).
The API designation is to be found on each engine oil bundle. The first letter is always a C.
API C for diesel engines
The second letter is for the quality of the oil. The more highly the letter in the alphabet, the better the quality.
API C for diesel engine
Examples for diesel engine oil:
API CC Engine oil for small demands
API CD Engine oil for suction- and turbo diesel engine
API CF Replace the specification API CD since 1994
API CG Engine oil for highest demands, turbo-tested
