API CF

Purchase diesel fuel in small quantities and store in clean, approved containers. Clean fuel prevents the diesel fuel injectors and

pumpsfromclogging.Donotoverllthefueltank.

Leave room for the fuel to expand. Immediately clean up any spillage during refueling.

Never store diesel fuel in galvanized containers; diesel fuel and the galvanized coating react chemically to each other, producing

akingthatquicklyclogsltersorcausesfuelpumporinjectorfailure.

High sulfur content in fuel may cause engine wear. In those countries where diesel has a high sufur content, its is advisable to

lubricate the engine with a high alkaline oil or alternatively to replace the lubricating oil recommended by the manufacturer more

frequently. The regions in which diesel normally has a low sulfur content are Europe, North America, and Australia.

FUEL TYPE

Forbestresults,useonlyclean,fresh,commercial-gradedieselfuel.Dieselfuelsthatsatisfythefollowingspecicationsare

suitable for use in this engine: ASTM D-975 - 1D or 2D, EN590, IS 1460 or equivalent.

FUELS FOR LOW TEMPERATURES

It is possible to run the engine at temperatures below 0°C using special winter fuels. These fuels reduce the formation of

parafnindieselatlowtemperatures.Ifparafnformsinthediesel,thefuellterbecomesblockedinterruptingtheowoffuel.

Fuel can be: - Summer up to 0°C

- Winter up to -10°C

- Alpine up to -20°C

- Arctic up to -30°C

BIODIESEL FUEL

Fuelscontaininglessthan20%methylesterorB20,aresuitableforuseinthisengine.Biodieselfuelsmeetingthespecication

of BQ-9000, EN 14214 or equivalent may be used. DO NOT use vegetable oil as a biofuel for this engine.

Any failures resulting from the use of fuels other than recommended will not be warranted.

AVIATION FUEL

Aviation fuels suitable for use in this engine include JP5, JP4, JP8 and, JET-A (if 5 percent oil is added).

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
