Fuel tank Diesel
To maintain the performance and life of engine, please always use
clean and high-quality fuel.
●
To prevent freezing in cold weathers, please choose diesel still
suitable when the actual temperature is less by at least 12
℃
than
the expected minimum outside temperature.

Please use diesel with cetacean number at 45 or higher. During
the operations in low temperature or high altitude regions, use
fuel
of higher cetacean number.
●
Use fuel with sulfur content (volume ratio) at <0.5%.
Use ultra-low sulfur fuel especially in U.S. and Canada.
The use of fuel with high sulfur content can probably result in
sulfur acid corrosion in engine cylinders.

Do not mix the diesel with kerosene, used engine oil, or residual
fuel. It’s prohibited to use kerosene.
●
The low quality fuel will reduce the engine performance and/or
damage the engine.
