Permitted sulphur content in fuel
Fuel with a higher sulphur content
than 15 ppm for engines with SCR
systems
If fuel with a higher sulphur content that that
specified in the standard is used on a short-term
basis, this will not cause permanent damage to a
catalytic converter. The catalytic converter may,
however, require fuel with a low sulphur content
for some time after this to regain its normal effi-
ciency.
If fuel with too high a sulphur content is used for
a prolonged period, there is a risk that the cata-
lytic converter will not operate correctly, which
will result in a reduction in engine torque.
Engine type Max. sulphur content in fuel for
unaffected oil change intervals
Note
Engines without EGR and SCR Up to 2,000 ppm (0.2%) If the sulphur content is higher than
2,000 ppm, the oil change intervals
must be halved. A higher sulphur
content than 4,000 ppm is not per-
mitted, since this will result in en-
gine damage.
Engines with SCR only Up to 500 ppm (0.05%) A higher sulphur content than 15
ppm may only be used where
Stage III A/Tier 3 or less restrictive
emission laws apply.
Engines with both EGR and SCR Up to 350 ppm (0.035%) A higher sulphur content than 15
ppm may only be used where
Stage III A/Tier 3 or less restrictive
emission laws apply. A higher sul-
phur content than 350 ppm is not
permitted, since this will result in
engine damage.
