Fuel system
For fuel specification according to the ambient
temperature, please contact a workshop authorized
by Volvo Construction Equipment.
Quality requirements
The fuel should at least meet the legal
requirements, and national and international
standards for marketed fuels, for example: EN590
(with nationally adapted low temperature
requirements), ASTM D 975 No 1D and 2D, JIS KK
2204.
Sulphur content
According to current USA legal requirement, the
sulphur content in the diesel fuel must not exceed
0.0015 percent (15 ppm) by weight.
According to current EU legal requirements, the
sulphur content in the diesel fuel must not exceed
0.001 percent (10 ppm) by weight.
For fuel specification according to the working
temperature, please contact a workshop authorized
by Volvo Construction Equipment.
Biodiesel fuel
Vegetable oils and/or ester, also referred to as bio-
diesel, e.g. methyl esper or rapeseed (RME), are in
some markets offered both as a pure product or for
mixing with diesel fuel.
Volvo Construction Equipment accept an additive
quantity of max. 7 % bio-diesel fuel to the diesel fuel
ready-mixed from the oil manufacturers.
An additive component of more than 7% of bio-
diesel may have the following effects:
- increased emission of nitric oxides (therefore
does not meet existing legislation requirements)
- shorter lifetime of engine and injection system
- increased fuel consumption
- change in engine power
- halving of the interval between engine oil changes
- shortened lifetime of rubber materials in the fuel
system
- impaired cold handling properties of the fuel
