Diesel Generator
The Zeus80 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 at external temperatures above 0°C the Zeus80 generator can also work with
heating oil sec. DIN 51603 (from an additional tank).
If the Zeus80 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 between 0°C and -20°C: use winter diesel sec. DIN EN 590;
•
outside temperatures between -20°C and -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 Zeus80 generators are not approved to work with bio-diesel according to DIN EN 14214.
