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 EN14214
Specification Standards or ASTM D6751.
NOTICE: It is imperative that you check which blend is approved for your engine with your
authorized local dealer. Be aware that the use of Biodiesel Fuel that does not comply with the
Standards mentioned above could lead to severe damage to the engine and fuel system of your
tractor. The use of fuels that are not approved may void manufacturer warranty coverage.
Biodiesel approved blend
The use of biodiesel blends meeting Specification Standards ASTM 6751 or EN14214 are
approved for your engine up to B5 (5% blend ratio ). It is highly recommended to use biodiesel
fuel from accredited suppliers to maintain quality and consistency of the fuel.
Biodiesel Fuel Usage Conditions
NOTICE: The Biodiesel Fuel must meet the fuel Specification mentioned above.
Biodiesel Fuel must be purchased from a trusted supplier that understands the product and
maintains good fuel quality. Biodiesel Fuel must be pre-blended by the supplier. Mixing Biodiesel
Fuels on-site can result incorrect mixture that can lead to problems with both engine and fuel
system.
Engine performance is affected by the use of Biodiesel Fuel. There may be up to 12% reduction in
power or torque depending on the blend used.
NOTICE: DO NOT modify the engine and/or injection pump settings to recover the reduced
performance.
The reduced power must be accepted if using any Biodiesel Fuel blend.
Some modification may be required to allow your engine to run Biodiesel Fuel. Consult your dealer
for complete information on these modifications.
Biodiesel Fuel has a higher cloud point than Diesel Fuel.
NOTICE: The use of high Biodiesel Fuel blends are not recommended in cold weather conditions.
With Biodiesel Fuels, it may be necessary to change the engine oil, engine oil filter and fuel filter
elements more frequently than with Diesel Fuels. Biodiesel Fuel can remove rust and particles from
the inside of on-site fuel storage tanks that would normally adhere to the sides of the tank. Like
particle deposits that commonly occur with Diesel Fuel, these particles can become trapped by the
tractor fuel filters, causing blockage and shortening filter life. In cold weather, this is more likely to
happen. Consult your authorized local dealer for information on cold weather operation and proper
maintenance intervals when using any Biodiesel Fuel blend.
