Fuel tank Diesel fuel
To maintain the performance and service life of the engine,
always use clean and high-quality fuel.
• To avoid freezing in cold climates, use a diesel fuel that still
functions when the temperature is at least 12°C (53.6°F) below
the lowest expected ambient temperature.
• Use a diesel fuel that has a cetane number of 45 or higher.
When operating at a very low temperature or at a high altitude,
a higher cetane number fuel will be required.
• Use fuel with sulfur content of less than 0.05 to 0.0015% by
volume.
<TB285> Especially in the U.S.A. and Canada, ultra-low sulfur
fuel should be used.
A higher sulfur content fuel may cause sulfuric acid corrosion
in the cylinders of the engines.
• Never mix kerosene, used engine oil, or residual fuels with the
diesel fuel.
• Poor quality fuel can reduce engine performance and / or
cause engine damage.
• Fuel additives are not recommended. Some fuel additives may
cause poor engine performance.
