INTRODUCTION
Consumables - Biodiesel Fuel
Fatty Acid Methyl Ester Biodiesel (Biodiesel Fuel) consists of a family of fuels derived from vegetable oils treated with
methyl esters.
NOTICE: Biodiesel fuel blends are approved for your engine only if they comply with Specification Standards EN
14214 or ASTM D6751.
NOTICE: Verify with your local dealer which blends are approved for your engine. Use of biodiesel fuel that does not
comply with the Standards EN14214 or ASTM D6751 could lead to severe damage to engine and fuel system. Use
of non-approved biodiesel fuels may void warranty coverage.
Biodiesel Fuel Usage Conditions
Biodiesel fuels must be purchased from a trusted supplier that understands the product and maintains good fuel
quality. Biodiesel fuels must be pre-blended by the supplier. Mixing biodiesel fuels on site can result in an incorrect
mixture which can damage engine and fuel system.
Engine performance is effected by the use of biodiesel fuels. There may be up to 12 percent reduction in power or
torque depending on the blend used.
NOTICE: DO NOT modify the engine and/or fuel injection pump settings to recover reduced performance.
The reduced power must be accepted if using any biodiesel fuel blends.
NOTICE: The use of high biodiesel fuel blends is not recommended in cold weather conditions.
Using biodiesel fuels may require changing engine oil, engine oil filters, and fuel filter elements more frequently.
Biodiesel fuels can remove rust and other particles that adhere to the inside of the fuel tank. These particles are
trapped by vehicle filters and may cause shortened filter life or filter blockages. Blockages are more common in cold
weather conditions. Consult your dealer for information on cold weather operation and proper maintenance intervals
when using any biodiesel fuel blend.
Biodiesel fuel may degrade natural rubber gaskets and hoses, as it is more solvent than petro-diesel. Frequently
inspect hoses and other engine components when using biodiesel fuel.
DO NOT allow water to collect in the fuel or storage tanks. Biodiesel fuel attracts moisture from the atmosphere.
Keep fuel tanks and storage tanks as full as possible to limit the amount of air and water vapors. It may be necessary
to drain machine fuel filter more frequently. Potential oxidation and stability could create a problem with fuel stored in
the machine.
Biodiesel Storage
NOTICE: DO NOT store machines for more than three months with biodiesel blends in the fuel system. DO NOT
store biodiesel fuel in on-site storage tanks for more than three months.
If long periods of storage are required, run the machine for 20 hours using regular diesel fuel to flush the biodiesel
fuel from the engine fuel system.
NOTICE: Biodiesel fuels must not be stored in on-site storage tanks for more than 3 months. Any spillage of biodiesel
fuels must be cleaned up immediately before it can cause damage to the environment or the paint finish of the ma-
chine. Before using biodiesel fuel blends, you should consult with your dealer to receive full information about the
approved blend for your machine and any detailed conditions of its usage. Failure to follow the requirements and
conditions of biodiesel fuel usage will void your machine’s warranty.
NOTE: B7 is the highest biodiesel (7% blend) that should be used in this machine.
