TECHNICAL DATA
DIESEL FUEL
The composition of the fuel is vital for operation of the OXE outboard, its
service life, and emissions. To meet the performance specified and to run the
boat cleanly and quietly, it is important that fuel as recommended in table
Recommended fluids and grease is used.
If national emission regulations permit OXE Diesel engines can be operated
on commercially available diesel fuels with less than 0.05% sulfur content.
Fuel sulfur content ≤0.05% (≤500 ppm) >0.05% - 0.5% (>500-5000ppm

1)
If the sulfur content is higher than 0.05%, the intervals between engine oil changes should be
halved or determined by frequent oil sampling.
2)
If the sulfur content is higher than 0.1% an engine lubrication oil with suitable TBN shall be
used.
NOTE! Do not use fuel with more than 0.5% sulfur content!
Using fuel with high sulfur content will increase the outboard´s emission
levels and cause excessive wear and shorter life time.
Large differences in composition occur in local fuel specification. This can
result in higher fuel comsumption, higher emissions and less power output.
AVOIDING FUEL FLOW RESTRICTIONS
!
WARNING
Adding additional components to the fuel supply system such as filters,
valves, fittings, etc. may restrict the fuel flow. This could cause engine
stalling at low speed, and/or a lean fuel condition at high RPM, that could
cause engine damage.
