el Additives
Supplemental diesel fuel additives are not generally
recommended.
This recommendation is due to
potential damage to the fuel system or the engine.
Your fuel supplier or the fuel manufacturer will add
the appropri
ate supplemental diesel fuel additives.
Perkins recognizes the fact that additives may be
required in
some special circumstances. Contact
your fuel supplier for those circumstances when
fuel additives are required. Your fuel supplier can
recommend t
he appropriate fuel additive and the
correct level of treatment.
Note: For t
he best results, your fuel supplier should
treat the fuel when additives are required. The treated
fuel must meet the requirements that are stated in
table 17.
