4. FUEL SPECIFICATIONS
The quality of fuel oil used for high-speed diesel
engine operation is a very important factor in
obtaining satisfactory engine performance, long
engine life and acceptable exhaust emission
levels.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has issued new standards to improve air
quality by significantly reducing emissions
through a combination of cleaner-burning diesel
engines and vehicles.
To meet EPA standards, the petroleum industry
produces Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel,
also referred to as S15, containing a maximum
15ppm (parts-per-million) sulfur.
On-highway diesel engines meeting 2010
emission regulations are designed to operate
ONLY with ULSD fuel. ULSD fuel will enable the
use of cleaner technology diesel engines and
vehicles with advanced emissions control
devices, resulting in significantly improved air
quality.
4.1 FUEL TYPE
EPA-10 engines like the Volvo D13 are
designed to run on Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel
(ULSD) fuel, which can contain no more than 15
ppm sulfur.
Fuel used must meet engine manufacturer’s
specification. Refer to Volvo engine
specifications.
