respective metric system equivalents
in braces.
Fuel
The composition of fuel plays a vital
role in the function, service life and
emission of the engine. In order to
a c h i e v e s p e c i f i e d l e v e l s o f
performance with regard to power,
fuel economy and to fulfil emission
legislations. Use fuel that meets all
the legal requirements and also the
national and international standards.
These standards are the minimum
requirements for commercial fuel and

consultation with the oil companies
a n d t h e a u t o m o t i v e i n d u s t r y.
Examples are:
• GB 19147-2013
• EN590 (with nationally adapted
cold requirements)
• JIS KK 2204
These fuels perform better exhaust
emissions than standard fuels and
can therefore be recommended.
Water and particles

enter the fuel tank and get mixed
with the fuel, entry of water particles
will corrode the fuel injection unit.

diesel fuel.
NOTE
The fuel injection unit should
not be adjusted to compensate
for any loss of power.
