Effects of biodiesel on emissions compliance
Engines are certified to comply with U.S. EPA,
California and EU emissions standards based upon
the use of test fuels with specifications established
by these regulatory agencies. Alternative fuels,
including biodiesel, that are not substantially similar
to the required test fuels may adversely affect
engine emissions compliance. As a result, Volvo
does not warrant that the engine will conform to
applicable Federal or California and EU emissions
limits when operated on, or having previously being
operated on, biodiesel or other alternative fuels that
are not substantially similar to specified test fuels
used for certification, nor if biodiesel / regular diesel
is used in blends that exceed the
recommendations.
However, the use of biodiesel up to a maximum of
20% (B20) in and of itself, will not affect the
manufacturer's mechanical warranty as to engine
or emissions system, provided the bio fuel used in
the blend conforms to the applicable standards and
the additional steps outlined herein are followed.
