This specific ation includes the requirements for Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD). ULS D fuel will have ≤ 15 ppm (0.0015%) sulfur. Refer to
“ASTM D5453”, “ASTM D2622”, or “ISO 20846, ISO 20884” test methods.
(2)
A fuel with a higher cetane number is recommended in or der to op erate at a higher altitude or in cold weather.
(3)
“Via standards tables, the equivalent API gr avity for the m inimum density o f 801 kg / m
3
(kilograms per cu bic meter) is 45 and for the
maximum density o f 876 k g / m
3
is 30”.
(4)
The v alues of the fuel viscosity are the values as the fuel is delivered to the fuel injection pumps. Fuel should also meet the minimum
viscosity requirement and the fuel should m eet the maximum viscosity requirements at 40 °C (104 °F) of either the “ASTM D445” test
method or the “ISO 3104” test method. If a fuel w ith a low viscosity is used, cooling of the fuel m ay be r equired to maintain “1.4 cSt”or
greater viscosity at the fuel injection pum p. Fuels with a high viscosity m ight r equire fuel heaters in order to lower the v iscosity to “1.4
cSt” at the fuel injection pump.
(5)
Follow the test conditions and procedures for gas oline (motor).
(6)
The lubricity of a fuel is a concern with ultra low sulfur fuel. To determine the lubricity of t he fuel, use the “ISO 12156-1 or AST M D6079
High Frequency Rec iprocating Rig (HFRR)” test. If the lubricity of a fuel does not meet the m inimum requirements, consult your fuel
supplier. Do not treat the fuel without consulting the fuel supplier. Some additives are not com patible. These additives can ca use
problems in the fuel system.
Engines that are manufactured by Perkins are
certified with the fuel that is prescribed by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency. Engines
that are manufactured by Perkins are certified
with the fuel that is prescribed by the European
Certification. Perkins does not certify diesel engines
on any other fuel.
Note: The owner and the operator of the engine has
the responsibility of using the fuel that is prescribed by
the EPA and other appropriate regulatory agencies.
