1.3 Fuel quality
Diesel Generator
The Zeus200 generator works without problems with the diesel fuel normally
available on t
he market used for the vehicle’s engine. Addition max. of biodiesel available on the
market according to DIN EN 590. In the winter months diesel fuel is adapted at low
temperatures from 0°C to -20°C. In this way problems can arise only in the case of extremely
low external temperatures - as well as in the boat engine - see the instructions of the
manufacturer. In special cases and at external temperatures above 0°C the Zeus200 generator
can also work with heating oil sec. DIN 51603 (from an additional tank).
If the Zeus200 generator is powered from a separate tank, follow these steps:
•
external temperatures higher than 0°C: use diesel oil sec. DIN EN 590 or heating oil sec.
DIN 51603;
•
external temperatures from 0°C to -20°C: use winter diesel sec. DIN EN 590;
•
outside temperatures from -20°C to -40°C, use arctic gas oil or polar gas oil.
The addition of used oil is allowed. After using winter diesel or diesel fuel for low temperatures,
fill the fuel lines and the standard diesel fuel pump by running the generator for 15 minutes. The
Zeus200 generators are not approved to work with bio-diesel according to DIN EN 14214.
