FUEL SPECIFICATIONS
Proper fuel is an important element for good coach operation and long engine life. Using only high-
quality fuel will extend engine life, reduce overall maintenance costs, and create a cleaner exhaust,
under all operating conditions.
The use of supplementary fuel or lubricant additives is not recommended.
These include all products marketed as fuel conditioners, smoke
suppressants, masking agents, deodorants, tune-up compounds, top oil,
break-in oil, graphitizers, and friction-reducing compounds.
Do not blend any type of used lubricating oils into diesel fuel. In addition
to increasing exhaust emissions, this will cause increased engine wear.
Biodiesel fuel can damage components of the engine and fuel system,
and could have warranty implications. Please consult your Cummins
service representative, your fuel supplier, and your local BPA before
using biodiesel fuel.
Never mix gasoline, gasohol or alcohol with diesel fuel! This creates an
extreme fire hazard which could result in injury or death.
Use only the proper grade of diesel fuel recommended for your engine and purchased only from a repu-
table seller. Generally Grade #1-D diesel fuel should be used in cold climates (under 20°F) and Grade
#2-D in warmer climates (over 20°F). Do not use fuels sold only as heating or furnace oil. Using fuels
other than those recommended by the engine manufacturer may void the engine’s warranty. Never add
or blend used engine oil to diesel fuel. This will increase exhaust emissions and may cause damage to
the engine.
The fuel should be clean and free of contamination. Storage tanks should be inspected regularly for dirt,
water or water-emulsion sludge, and cleaned if contaminated.
