1.2 FUEL OIL SPECIFICATIONS
The Niigata engine is capable of using a wide range of fuel oils, ranging from
light (No.2 Diesel) fuel to heavy (fuels with kinematic viscosities up to 700 mm
²
/s
at 50
℃
).
However, those engines that are to be used with heavy fuels are configured
differently when they are shipped from the factory. (Modified to provide for
jacket-water cooling of the injectors, modified piston rings, heat-treated top
piston ring groove, modified valve rotators, additional cooling water passages
around the exhaust valves, addition of plumbing for turbocharger cleaning, etc.)
In addition to the basic engine changes, pretreatment (cleaning and heating) of
the heavy fuel is required before it reaches the engine. Specific instructions
are provided in the various sections of this manual for the different types of fuel.
Note: Improper fuel use may void the warranty.
CAUTION
There is a danger of failure of the engine when gasoline or alcohol is
used as a fuel or mixed into fuel oil.
Be sure to use the specified fuel oil only.
