Diesel Fuel
Consult your local fuel distributor for properties of the
diesel fuel available in your area.
In general, diesel fuels are blended to satisfy the low
temperature requirements of the geographical area in
which they are marketed.
Diesel fuels specified to EN 590 or ASTM D975 are
recommended. Renewable diesel fuel produced by
hydrotreating animal fats and vegetable oils is basically
identical to petroleum diesel fuel. Renewable diesel that
meets EN 590, ASTM D975, or EN 15940 is acceptable
for use at all percentage mixture levels.
Required Fuel Properties
In all cases, the fuel shall meet the following properties:
Cetane number of 40 minimum.
Cetane number greater
than 47 is preferred, especially for temperatures below
–20 °C (–4 °F) or elevations above 1675 m (5500 ft.).
Cloud Point
should be below the expected lowest ambient
temperature or
Cold Filter Plugging Point
(CFPP) should
be a maximum 10°C (18°F) below the fuel cloud point.
Fuel lubricity
should pass a maximum scar diameter of
0.52 mm as measured by ASTM D6079 or ISO 12156-1.
A maximum scar diameter of 0.45 mm is preferred.
Diesel fuel quality and sulfur content
must comply with
all existing emissions regulations for the area in which
the engine operates. DO NOT use diesel fuel with sulfur
content greater than 10 000 mg/kg (10 000 ppm).
Materials
such as copper, lead, zinc, tin, brass and
bronze should be avoided in fuel handling, distribution
and storage equipment as these metals can catalyze fuel
oxidation reactions which can lead to fuel system deposits
and plugged fuel filters.
E-Diesel fuel
DO NOT use E-Diesel (Diesel fuel and ethanol blend).
Use of E-Diesel fuel in any John Deere machine may void
the machine warranty.
CAUTION: Avoid severe injury or death due to the
fire and explosion risk from using E-Diesel fuel.
Sulfur Content for Interim Tier 4, Final Tier 4, Stage III
A and B, Stage IV, and Stage V Engines Above 560 kW
•
Use ONLY diesel fuel with a maximum of 500 mg/kg
(500 ppm) sulfur content.
Sulfur Content for Interim Tier 4, Final Tier 4, Stage
III B, Stage IV Engines, and Stage V Engines
•
Use ONLY ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel with a
maximum of 15 mg/kg (15 ppm) sulfur content.
Sulfur Content for Tier 3 and Stage III A Engines
•
Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 1000
mg/kg (1000 ppm) is RECOMMENDED.
•
Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content 1000—2000 mg/kg
(1000—2000 ppm) REDUCES the oil and filter change
interval.
•
BEFORE using diesel fuel with sulfur content greater
than 2000 mg/kg (2000 ppm), contact your John Deere
dealer.
Sulfur Content for Tier 2 and Stage II Engines
•
Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 2000
mg/kg (2000 ppm) is RECOMMENDED.
•
Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content 2000—5000 mg/kg
(2000—5000 ppm) REDUCES the oil and filter change
interval.

•
BEFORE using diesel fuel with sulfur content greater
than 5000 mg/kg (5000 ppm), contact your John Deere
dealer.
Sulfur Content for Other Engines
•
Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 5000
mg/kg (5000 ppm) is RECOMMENDED.
•
Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 5000
mg/kg (5000 ppm) REDUCES the oil and filter change
interval.
IMPORTANT: Do not mix used diesel engine oil or any
other type of lubricating oil with diesel fuel.
Improper fuel additive usage may cause damage
on fuel injection equipment of diesel engines.

Diesel Fuel Specifications
The engine in this machine is designed to operate only
with ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel. Use of fuel
other than ULSD will reduce the efficiency and durability
of the engine, will harm and permanently damage the
engine’s advanced emissions control systems, reduce
fuel economy, and possibly prevent the engine from
running at all. Emission-related warranties are likely to
be rendered void by the use of fuel that does not meet
these specifications.
