Important to use low sulphur diesel
It is important for sulphur-free or ultra-low sul-
phur diesel to be used on engines with SCR sys-
tems certified in accordance with Stage III B/
Tier 4i or later to ensure that the engine operates
correctly. If diesel with an excessive sulphur
content is used, it can cause damage to the engine
and the SCR 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 diesel.
In Europe, diesel must be sulphur-free in accord-
ance with the standard EN 590. This means that
the sulphur content must not exceed 10 ppm.
In the USA, the diesel must be ultra-low sulphur
in accordance with the ASTM D975 standard.
This means that the sulphur content must not ex-
ceed 15 ppm.
