To maintain the performance and service life of the engine,
always use clean and high-quality fuel.
• To avoid freezing in cold climates, use a light oil that still
functions when the temperature is at least 12°C (54°F) be-
low the lowest expected ambient temperature.
• Use a light oil with a cetane number of 45 or higher. When
operating at a very low temperature or at a high altitude, a
higher cetane number fuel will be required.
• Use fuel with an overall sulfur content below 0.5%. Be sure
to use fuel with an ultra-low sulfur content for applications
in the U.S. or Canada, in particular.
• The use of fuel containing a high sulfur content may cause
sulfuric acid corrosion to occur inside the cylinder.
• Do not mix fuel with any kerosene, used engine oil, or left-
over fuel.
• Poor quality fuel can degrade engine performance. It can
also damage the engine.
• Refrain from adding additives to the fuel. Some fuel addi-
tives can degrade engine performance.
