Driving and Operating
fuel whenever possible. At
temperatures below -7 °C (20 °F),
Number 2-D fuel may pose
operating problems (see "Cold
Weather Operation" which follows).
At colder temperatures, use Number
1-D fuel (if available) or use a
"winterized" Number 2-D (a blend of
Number 1-D and Number 2-D). This
blended fuel is usually called
Number 2-D also, but can be used
in colder temperatures than Number
2-D fuel which has not been
"winterized". Check with the service
station operator to be sure you get
the properly blended fuel.
Do not use fuels other than those
recommended in this manual. Doing
so may adversely affect the engine.

Biodiesel
Biodiesel, may also be referred to
as FAME blended (Fatty-acid methyl
ester) fuel is a renewable fuel
produced from vegetable oils or
animal fats that have been
chemically modified to make it
compatible with diesel fuel.
Caution
Do not use home-made biodiesel
or home test kits because the
quality cannot be verified by
approved scientific methods. Do
not use raw vegetable oil or other
unmodified bio-oils, fats,
or blends of vegetable oil with
diesel. They could damage the
fuel system and engine, and
damages would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
