1. Only the fuel that contains 5% or lower volume mixing ratio of 100% BDF (B100) in the mineral diesel fuel
can be used. (B5)
2. The mineral diesel fuel shall be according to the newest edition of EN590 (Europe) or ASTMD975 (USA),
while the B100 to be mixed shall be according to the newest edition of EN14214 (Europe) or ASTMD6751
(USA) standards. The final mixture fuel B5 shall, also, be according to the newest edition of E590 (Europe).
Raw expressed vegetable oil cannot be used.
3. B100 or the mixed fuel B5 shall be purchased from the reliable manufacturers or dealers (in USA, the one
accredited by BQ-9000). Because on-the-site mixing tends to cause uneven mixing, it is recommendable
to purchase the B5 that has been mixed at the manufacturer's factory in advance.
4. Uses of Kubota emission certified engines are responsible for obtaining any appropriate local, state and
national exemptions required for the use of BDF.
In using the biofuel (BDF), pay enough attention to the storing methods, using methods, and maintenance
methods of the engine described in the following clauses with the understanding of the characteristics of the
biofuel.
1. To prevent accumulation of moisture in the fuel tank, keep the fuel tank full as much as possible. Tighten
the cap of the fuel tank to prevent moisture intrusion.
2. Confirm the engine oil level before starting the engine every day. Keep strictly the engine oil change interval
because the delay in the engine oil change causes damages to the engine.
3. In the cold weather, take special care because clogging of the fuel lines can cause such problems as
starting failures.
4. Be careful that BDF tends to aggravate multiplication of and contamination by microorganisms, which can
causes such malfunctions like corrosion of the fuel Bsystem or too early clogging of the fuel filter.
5. Pay careful attention to the following cautions, because the fuel (BDF) during refueling and in the fuel tank
tends to deteriorate by oxygen, water, heat, and foreign matters.
5.1. Do not store the fuel in the fuel tank or in drums for longer than 3 months.
5.2. In the case of the prolonged parking or storage of the vehicle, wash the engine by idling it using the
conventional mineral diesel oil for at least 30 minutes.
6. BDF is hygroscopic and, therefore, tends to contain higher moisture content than the conventional diesel
fuel. Accordingly, the intervals of the fuel filter cleaning and exchange, the fuel pipe check and exchange,
the nozzle check and exchange, and the fuel system maintenance and check shall be shorter than those
for the conventional mineral diesel fuel. In addition, use of a sedimenter is strongly recommended.
7. When the biodiesel fuel is spilled on a painted surface, immediately wipe it off because it can damage the
painting.
8. If the biodiesel fuel of higher concentration than B5 is used, it is possible to deteriorate the output and
fuel consumption. Also, the higher concentration biodiesel fuel than B5 can corrode the brass/zinc parts
and rubber/resin products of the fuel system. Therefore, never use the higher concentration biodiesel fuel
than B5.
9. The adjustment of the tamper parts (fuel confinement) of the engine under the use of the biodiesel fuel is
deemed to be an illegal activity to the emission regulation and punished. Never execute such adjustments.
10. The BDF of palm-oil-base has lower low-temperature fluidity than the BDF of soybean/rape seed-oil-base.
Therefore, pay special attention to the fact that it can cause the fuel filter clogging during the cold season.
Coolant
CAUTION Antifreeze can be harmful. Obey the manufacturer's instructions when handling full strength or
diluted antifreeze.
Check the strength of the coolant mixture at least once a year, preferably at the start of the cold period.
