IMPORTANT:
Use of high sulphur fuel in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) engines and cooled external
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) engines will cause damage to the aftertreatment system and cause the
machine to loose performance. If you use high quantity sulphur fuels the warranty will be removed from
the engine and aftertreatment system.

[1]
Within the European Union fuel with sulphur content not greater than 10 mg/kg (20 mg/kg at point of final
distribution) shall be used.
[2]
If the engine does not have a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system or a cooled external Exhaust Gas
Recirculation (EGR) system, the maximum permitted sulphur quantity is 500 mg/kg.
Cetane number
The cetane number must be a minimum of 45. We recommend a cetane number more than 47, specially
for temperatures less than -20°C (-4°F) and elevations above 1500 m (5000 ft) from the sea level.
Biodiesel blends
1st generation biodiesel blends
In European Union use of 1st generation biodiesel, which has less than 8% Fatty Acid Methyl Esters
(FAME) / Fatty Acid Mono-Alkyl Esters (FAAE), is approved.
In other areas use of 1st generation biodiesel, which has less than 10% Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) /
Fatty Acid Mono-Alkyl Esters (FAAE), is approved.
