NOTE!
Failures directly caused by the use of poor quality
biofuel, or any other fuel not conforming to
standards, are not factory defects and the
manufacturer’s warranty does not apply.
Maintenance interval requirements
Additional service actions and shorter maintenance
intervals are mandatory when using biodiesel
blends above B10.
