FUEL TYPE
Diesel engines for 2007 and later model year
vehicles are designed to operate only with Ultra
Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel, which can
contain no more than 15 ppm sulfur.
CAUTION
ULSD fuel is necessary to avoid fouling the
engine’s Exhaust Aftertreatment System. Use
of fuel other than ULSD will reduce the
efficiency and durability of the engine.
BIODIESEL FUELS
ULSD-B5 biodiesel may be used. B5 tells you
the percentage of biodiesel mixed in with ULSD.
B5 is 5% biodiesel and 95% ULSD.
Fuel used must meet engine manufacturer’s
specification for biodiesel fuel. Concerning the
use of biodiesel with Volvo D13 engines, refer to
Volvo’s specifications.
Biodiesel fuels are alkyl esters of long chain fatty
acids derived from renewable resources.
Biodiesel fuels made from soybean or rapeseed
oil through the proper transesterification reaction
process are recommended. Other feedstock
source of biodiesel fuels such as animal fat and
used cooking oils are not recommended.
Biodiesel fuels meeting ASTM D6751
specification and from BQ-9000 accredited
producer, prior to blending can be mixed up to
5% maximum by volume in petroleum diesel
fuel. The resulting mixture must meet the fuel
properties of ASTM D975 specification. Failures
attributed to the use of biodiesel fuel will not be
covered by Volvo or Prevost product warranty.
Also, any engine performance problem related
to the use of biodiesel fuel would not be
