SECTION III USE
Cold starting
Diesel engines are to be refuelled exclusively with diesel fuel of the type
normally commercially available and which conforms to the requirements
of the applicable standards.
In winter, when the temperature falls below 0° C (32°F), it is essential to
use only winter diesel fuel, which allows the engine to run correctly at
temperatures down to –20°C (-4°F).
If summer diesel fuel is used at low temperatures, the molecules of
paraffin contained in the fuel will be deposited on the filters which will
therefore become clogged and prevent the fuel from arriving at the
injection pump.
In certain countries, diesel fuel containing special additives is available
which are suitable for temperatures even below –20°C (-4°F).
If winter diesel fuel is not available (or if it is available but the temperature
is below –20°C (-4°F) kerosene (paraffin oil) may be added in the
percentages indicated in the diagram.
1 = summer diesel fuel
2 = winter diesel fuel
X = % of kerosene to be added
Y = external temperature in °C.
Pour the kerosene into the tank first and then the fuel, only mixing the two
liquids in the fuel tank.
For further information, contact your Dealer or fuel supplier.
