Preservative fuel
Preservative fuel must not contain biodiesel.
Even small amounts of 5-10% biodiesel can have
adverse effects on the engine when in longterm
storage.
Long-term storage of diesel, where the diesel
comes into contact with water, may lead to the
growth of micro organisms (bacteria and fun
-
gus).
In order to minimise the growth of micro-organ
-
isms, preservative fuel should contain the fol
-
lowing additives. The additives should be
selected and added by the fuel supplier.
Preservative fuel should comply with the follow
-
ing requirements:
•
0% biodiesel.
•
Max. sulphur content 50 ppm.
•
Max. water content 200 ppm.
•
The fuel must contain additives to stop the
growth of micro-organisms.
