Quality requirements for fuel
Quality requirements for
fuel
Quality requirements and testing standards for
the most important properties of different types
of fuel are described in the Workshop Manual.
This can be ordered from Scania dealers or di-
rectly from Scania.
Diesel
Properties
The quality of the diesel is very important for the
operation and service life of the engine and the
fuel system, and also for the engine performance.
Note:
The diesel should comply with the requirements
of European standards EN590 or EN15940.
However, Scania accepts larger tolerances of
certain properties. Please see the table below.

Sulphur content
IMPORTANT!
The operator is responsible for using the correct
type of diesel to ensure that local laws are com-
plied with.
Temperature dependence of diesel
IMPORTANT!
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.
Sulphur content Note
0-2 000 ppm Normal oil change interval of
up to 500 hours.
(< 0.2%)
2,000–4,000 ppm The oil change interval must
be halved to a maximum of
250 hours.
(0.2-0.4%)
4,000 ppm Max. permitted sulphur con-
tent. If diesel with too high a
sulphur content is used, this
causes engine damage.
