3.1 Viscosity
The recommended viscosity range upstream of the engine is between 13 mm
2
/s (cSt)
and 17 mm
2
/s (cSt). You get the necessary temperature for a given nominal viscosity
from the data in Fig. 1 below:
Example:
To get the recommended viscosity upstream
of the fuel pumps, the fuel of 380 mm
2
/s
[cSt] at 50°C must be heated to between
130°C and 140°C.
