This specific ation includes the requirements f or Ultra Low S ulfur Diesel (ULS D). ULS D fuel will have ≤ 15 ppm (0.0015% ) sulfur. Refer to
“ASTM D5453”, “ASTM D2622”, or “ISO 20846, ISO 20884” test methods.

A fuel with a higher cetane numbe r is recommended in order to op erate at a higher altitude or in c old weather.

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 meet 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 with a low viscosity is used, cooling of the fuel may be r equired to maintain “1.4 cSt”or
greater viscosity at the fuel injection pump. Fuels with a high viscosity m ight require 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 gasoline (m otor).

The lubric
ity of a fuel is a concern with ultra low sulfur fuel. To determine the lubr icity of the fuel, use the “ISO 12156-1 or ASTM D6079
High Frequ
ency Rec iprocating Rig (HFRR)” test. If the lubricity of a fuel does not meet the minimum requirements, consult your fuel
supplier.
Do not treat the fuel without consulting the fuel supplier. Som e additives are not com patible. These additives can ca use
problems i
n the fuel system.
Engines that are manufactured by Perkins are
certified w
ith the fuel that is prescribed by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency. Engines
that are manufactured by Perkins are certified
with the f
uel 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 a
nd other appropriate regulatory agencies.
NOTICE
Operating with fuels that do not meet the Perkins rec-
ommend
ations can cause the following effects: Start-
ing difficulty, reduced fuel filter service life, poor com-
bustion, deposits in the fuel injectors, significantly re-
duce s
ervice life of the fuel system, deposits in the
combustion chamber, and reduced service life of the
engine.
NOTICE
The Perkins 1200 series of diesel engine must be op-
erated using Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel. The sulphur con-
tent of this fuel must be lower than 15 PPM. This fuel
complies with the emissions regulations that are pre-
scribed by the Environmental Protection Agency of the
United States.

The fuel specifications that are listed in the table 18
are released as acceptable to use on all 1200 series
of engine.
