• Damage to the engine components and decrease the engine life
• The engine to not be in compliance with the emission regulations.
CAUTION: Engines with EU Stage V type approvals must use fuel that is in compliance
with EN590 regulations or Directive 98/70/EC. These fuels contain a maximum of 8 % v/v
Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) and a maximum of 10 mg/kg sulphur (20 mg/kg at point
of final distribution).
Other fuels in the EU area are incorrect for engine Stage V type approvals. As such AGCO
POWER are not responsible for engine emissions.
Use the correct fuel that is in compliance with EN590 regulations or Directive 98/70/EC.
AGCO POWER (and AGCO Corporation) is not responsible for failures or faults caused by the incorrect
quality or storage of the fuel.
CAUTION: Risk of fuel system damage.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) in the diesel fuel, will cause damage to the fuel system.
If you think that there is Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) contamination in the diesel fuel tank,
do not start the engine. Drain the fuel tank and clean the fuel tank before you start the
engine.
Fuel standards
Fuel must be in compliance with the sulphur requirements, the biodiesel requirements and the standards
that follow:
Fuel standards
European standard
EN 590
2009 or newer
North American standard
ASTM D 975
10b or newer
Japanese standard
JIS K2204
2007 or newer
Chinese standard
GB 252 or GB 19147
≥2018
Use only ultra low sulphur (≤ 15 mg/kg) diesel fuels that are in compliance with:
• EN 590 (:2009 or newer)
• ASTM D 975 (-10b or newer)
• GB 19147 Stage V.
CAUTION: Engine and emission system damage.
The engine is not in compliance with emission regulations.
Do not use additives or admixtures.
IMPORTANT:
Fuels or mixtures that include ethanol, gasoline or kerosene are not permitted for use in AGCO POWER
engines. These fuels decrease the life of the engine and cause system failure.
Permitted sulfur quantity
The permitted sulphur quantity is related to:
• Emission level
• Fuel system components and materials
• Aftertreatment components and materials.
For engines with a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system and engines with cooled external Exhaust
Gas Recirculation (EGR) system, fuels with higher sulphur quantity are not permitted. Fuels with a high
sulphur quantity will cause the engines not to be in compliance with particulate emission regulations.
Sulphur is also a catalyst poison, which can cause failure of the catalyst. Failure of the catalyst will cause a
malfunction in the aftertreatment system.
