– Make sure that the fuel pre-filter is drained daily (not
every week as currently advised).
– Only Tier 3 engines (factory filled with CH4 oil) - this
is not approved with other manufacturers.
– Use heater kits in low ambient temperature territories.
– The biodiesel must meet the following standards:
ASTM D6751, DIN 51606, ISO 14214
Note: If necessary use a test kit to confirm the fuel
specification. Testing kits are available (not from JCB
currently), use the internet as a source for the kits.
Note: If performance related issues are to be reported to
JCB Service, and the engine has been run on biodiesel,
then the fuel system must be filled with standard diesel (at
least 2 x tank fills) to EN590 specification and relevant stall
speeds recorded prior to making the report.
Warranty
JCB have shown a commitment to support the
environment by approving the use of biodiesel blended
fuels.
Using a B5 blend of biodiesel requires caution and
additional servicing of the engine is required.

Failure to follow the additional recommended service
requirements may lead to a warranty claim being declined.
Failures resulting by the incorrect use of biodiesels or
other fuel additives are not defects of the engine
workmanship and therefore will not be supported by JCB
Warranty.
