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.
Use of fuel oil in stand-by generator
sets
Long-term storage of diesel, where the diesel
comes into contact with water, may lead to the
growth of micro organisms (bacteria and fun-
gus). To avoid this in fuel used in stand-by gen-
erator sets, Scania permits the use of fuel oil
according to DIN 51603-1 and
ÖNORM C 1109.
Use of fuel oil is only permitted for stand-by
generator sets and under the following condi-
tions:
• The fuel must not be stored or used in temper-
atures under -10°C (14°F).
• The engine must not be equipped with an
SCR system.
