Use only diesel fuels conforming to the following
recommendations, without any additives, for diesel
engines installed in Mitsubishi Fuso trucks.
1 Diesel-fuel properties
The following recommendations concerning diesel
fuel used with Mitsubishi Fuso diesel engines are
given for optimum fuel economy and performance.
NOTE:
* ASTM is an acronym for the American Society for
Testing and Materials which recommends fuel con-
taining 0.05% or less sulfur content.
Note that a sulfur content exceeding 0.05% deterio-
rates the performance of emission control device.
To meet fuel requirements exactly, it is necessary to
obtain cooperation from a reputable fuel oil supplier.
Both fuel suppliers and users are responsible for
keeping fuel clean.
2 Danger of fire and explosion by using
mixed fuel
Fuel containing 5% gasoline has a flash point as
low as 0°C (32°F), which can lead to a fire or explo-
sion while the engine is running.
