WARNING
(1) Engine fuel and filter maintenance
Only use specified fuel.
Using anything other than the specified fuel is not covered by the warranty, of course, but also could cause a major
malfunction. In addition, the appropriate fuel filter element for this engine has been specified as well, so it is
important to use genuine KATO fuel elements.
(2) Fuel
1) Selecting fuel
Diesel engine fuel should satisfy the following criteria.
①
Does not contain even fine dust
② Has adequate viscosity
③
Has a high cetane number
④ Has good low-temperature flowability
⑤
Has low sulfur content
⑥
Has low carbon residue
Use standard automotive diesel fuels
(JIS K 2204, EN590, ASTM D975, GOST R52368, GB252) that meet the
requirements above.
Never use diesel fuel that does not meet the requirements. Doing so may prevent maximizing the
functionality and performance of the engine and may cause engine malfunction or failure.
Any malfunction or failure resulting from using non-specified fuel is not covered by the
warranty.
