Fuel specification
The use of high-quality fuel is a prerequisite for
achieving the engine output specified.
Recommended fuel specification
• N590-diesel engines - Auto/C0/C1/C2/C3/C4
• BS2869 Class A2
• ASTM D975-91 Class 2-2DA, US DF1, US DF2,

Fuel with low sulfur content
• Only use commercially available brand-named
diesel fuel with a sulfur content of less than 0.5%.
Winter fuel
Use only winter diesel fuel in winter to prevent line
connections becoming blocked through paraffin
deposits. At very low temperatures, troublesome
deposits may also occur when winter diesel is used.
Attention
If sulfur-free fuel is used, additions to
lubricants must be used.
Attention
The fuel specification listed below is sufficient
but may reduce the life expectancy of the fuel
injection system.
