Quality Grade
Use commercially available diesel fuel with less than 0.35% Sulphur content. If the sulfur
content is higher than 0.5%, oil change intervals should be halved.
The following fuels can be used on Baudouin engine:
--- European standard EN 590.
--- ASTM D-975 No.1 D
--- BS 2869 Part 1 Class A 1 standard
Winter-grade Fuel
Waxing may occur at low temperature, clog-
ging the fuel system and reducing engine
efficiency. If the ambient temperature is less
than 0
℃,
winter-grade fuel should be used.
At temperature below -20
℃
,kerosene
should be added to the diesel fuel. The rel-
evant percentages are given in the diagram

to cold can be obtained by adding a flow
improver.
