8.3.2 Fuel
8.3.2.1 Fuel quality
You should preferably use commercial diesel
fuel with a sulphur content of less than 0.5 %.
When using a diesel fuel with a high sulphur
content of 0.5 % to 1.0 % the oil change inter-
vals must be halved.
Fuels with a sulphur content of more than
1.0 % are not permitted.
In order to fulfil national emission regulations
one must strictly use the legally required fuels
(e.g. sulphur content).
The following fuel specifications are recom-
mended:
n EN 590
n
ASTM D975 Grade-No. 1-D and 2-D
n JIS K 2204 Grade Fuel 1 and Grade Fuel 2
with lubrication properties acc. to EN 590
8.3.2.2 Winter fuel
For winter operation use only winter diesel fuel,
to avoid clogging because of paraffin separa-
tion.
At very low temperatures disturbing paraffin
separation can also be expected when using
winter diesel fuel.
Diesel fuels suitable for temperatures down to
-44 °C (-47 °F) are available for Arctic climates.
