1.3 Fuel quality
Zeus150 generator works without problems with the diesel fuel normally available on the market
used for the vehicle’s engine. Addition max. of biodiesel available on the market according to
DIN EN 590. In the winter months diesel fuel is adapted at low temperatures from 0°C to -20°C.
In this way problems can arise only in the case of extremely low external temperatures - as well
as in the vehicle engine - see the instructions of the vehicle manufacturer. In special cases and
at external temperatures above 0°C the Zeus150 generator can also work with heating oil sec.
DIN 51603 (from an additional tank).
If the Zeus150 generator is powered from a separate tank, follow these steps:
•
external temperatures higher than 0°C: use diesel oil sec. DIN EN 590 or heating oil sec.
DIN 51603;
•
external temperatures from 0°C to -20°C: use winter diesel sec. DIN EN 590;
•
outside temperatures from -20°C to -40°C, use arctic gas oil or polar gas oil.
The addition of used oil is not allowed. After using winter diesel or diesel fuel for low
temperatures, fill the fuel lines and the standard diesel fuel pump by running the generator for 15
minutes. The Zeus150 generators are not approved to work with bio-diesel according to DIN EN
14214.
