Important to use low sulphur diesel
For engines with SCR systems certified in ac-
cordance with IMO Tier III, it is important to use
low-sulphur diesel, to ensure that the engine
works correctly. If diesel with an excessive sul-
phur content is used, it can cause damage to the
engine and the SCR system.
