Operations with Jet Fuels
The jet fuels can be used but only adopting an
additional fuel filter with lubricity doser.
Because of lower density and greater leak fuel volume
due to lower viscosity, depending on the engine
speed and torque, a power loss up to 10% is
possible.
There are some problematical fuel proprieties
amongst the listed jet fuels (viscosity, lubricating
capacities and low boiling point). A slight increase in
wear in the injection system is to be expected which
can lead to a statistically shorter life of these
components. Sulphur content must be below
2000ppm.

Fuel additives with biocide/algaecide functions only are allowed in
case of storage of fuel in the tank for long periods (one year or more).

These additives must be diluted in the fuel following the product
prescribed percentages when filling the tank.
Additives with functions other than biocide / algaecide are not al-
