Fuel
Use diesel fuel suitable for the ambient temperature con-
ditions (
ASTM D975 ).
Use fuel which is to ASTM (American Society for Testing
and Materials) D975 standard (North America). In Eu-
ropa, fuel must comply with Specification Standard
EN
590 or ITS EQUIVALENT.
Use grade No. 2 fuel, with ultra low sulfur. The use of
other types of fuel can result in a loss of power of the
engine and may cause high fuel consumption.
In very low ambient temperatures, use a mixture of fuels
No. 1 and No. 2 as necessary. Consult your fuel supplier
for appropriate fuel supply.
If the temperature falls below the fuel cloud point (point
at which wax begins to form) the wax crystals will cause
power loss or will prevent the engine from starting.
In cold weather, fill the fuel tank at the end of the day's
work in order to prevent the formation of condensation.
