Sulphur content of fuel
It is important to use low-sulphur fuel
It is important for sulphur-free or ultra-low sul-
phur fuel to be used on engines with SCR sys-
tems certified in accordance with Stage III B/
Tier 4i and Stage IV/Tier 4f to ensure that the
engine operates correctly. Use of the wrong fuel
grade can cause damage to the engine and the ex-
haust gas aftertreatment system.
From January 2011 legislation in the USA and
Europe requires all diesel engines not used on the
road to be run on sulphur-free or ultra-low sul-
phur fuel.
In Europe, the fuel should be sulphur-free ac-
cording to standard EN 590. This means that the
sulphur content must not exceed 10 ppm.
In the USA the fuel must be an ultra-low sulphur
fuel in accordance with standard ASTM D975.
This means that the sulphur content may not ex-
ceed 15 ppm.
Responsibility
The machine operator is responsible for using
the correct type of fuel to ensure that local laws
are complied with.
