FUEL SPECIFICATIONS
To achieve optimum performance of the engine, use good quality fuel with certain characteristics:
Cetane number (minimum 51):indicates the ignition quality. A fuel with a low cetane number may cause problems when starting
from cold and have a negative effect on combustion.
Viscosity (2.0/4.5 centistokes at 40°C): this is the resistance to flow and performance may decline if not within the limits.
Density (0.835/0.855 Kg/litre): a low density reduces the power of the engine, and density that is too high increases performance
and opacity of the exhaust
Distillation (85% at 350°): this is an indication of the mixture of different hydrocarbons in the fuel. A high ratio of light
hydrocarbons may have a negative effect on combustion.
Sulphur (maximum 0.05% of the weight): high sulphur content may cause engine wear. In those countries where diesel has a
high sulphur content, it 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 countries in which diesel normally has a low sulphur content are: Europe, North America and Australia.
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 paraffin
in diesel at low temperatures. If paraffin forms in the diesel, the fuel filter becomes blocked interrupting the flow 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
For all fuel types, the cetane number cannot be lower than 51.
AVIATION KEROSENE AND RME FUELS (BIOFUELS)
The only Aviatin fuels that may be used in this engine are: JP5, JP4, JP8 and JET-A if 5% oil is added.
For more information on Aviation fuels and Biofuels (RME, RSME) please contact the Lombardini applications department.

Maintenance - Recommended oil type - Refilling
COOLANT
Danger – Attention
-The fluid coolant circuit is pressurized. Inspections must only be made when the engine has cooled and even in
this case, the radiator or expansion chamber plug must be unscrewed with the utmost caution.
-If an electric fan is installed, do not approach a hot engine since the fan itself could start up even when the
engine is at a standstill.
-Coolant fluid is polluting, it must therefore be disposed of in the correct way. Do not litter.
The anti-freeze protection liquid (AGIP ANTIFREEZE SPEZIAL) must be used mixed with water, preferably decalcified. The
freezing point of the cooling mixture depends on the product concentration in water, it is therefore recommended to use a 50%
diluted mixture which guarantees a certain degree of optimal protection. As well as lowering the freezing point, the permanent
liquid also raises the boiling point.
Coolant refueling
For information concerning the capacity of Lombardini radiators, please contact Lombardini directly.
The total volume for refilling the cooling liquid varies according to the type of engine and radiator.
