The proper selection of fuel is essential for good economy,
performance and engine life. Number 2D ULSD should be used
when climatic conditions permit. Number 1D ULSD can be used

conditions. It’s important that the fuel is not contaminated with
dust or water which can damage the engines fuel system and
increase wear of the engine. Do not use kerosene, JP8 and
additives that may contain higher level of sulfur.
