Temperature dependence of diesel
Mixing kerosene or other paraffins with the die-
sel is prohibited. The injectors may be damaged.
It is not permissible to mix petrol with diesel. In
the long term petrol can cause wear in the injec-
tors and engine.
At temperatures lower than those specified for
the diesel, paraffin wax may precipitate from the
diesel and block filters and pipes. The engine can
then lose power or stop.
The diesel is adapted for use in the specific cli-
mate of each country. If an engine is to be oper-
ated in a temperature zone with a temperature
lower than normal, first identify the temperature
properties of that particular diesel.
