This specification includes the requirements for Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD). ULSD 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 order to operate at a higher altitude or in cold weather.

“Via standards tables, the equivalent API gravity for the minimum density of 801 kg / m
3
(kilograms per cubic meter) is 45 and for the maximum
density of 876 kg / m
