Fuel Specification
Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel with ultra low (<15
ppm) or low (<1000 ppm) sulfur content. Purchase
fuel in quantities that can be used within 180 days
to ensure fuel freshness.
Important:
If you use high-sulfur diesel fuel
(sulfur content 0.50 % (5000 ppm) to 1.0 % (10000
ppm), change the engine oil and oil filter every 75
hours.
Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at
temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter-grade
(No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that
temperature. Using winter-grade fuel at lower
temperatures provides a lower flash point and cold
flow characteristics, which eases starting and reduces
plugging of the fuel filter.
Using summer-grade fuel above -7°C (20°F)
contributes toward longer fuel pump life and increased
power compared to winter-grade fuel.
Biodiesel
This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel
of up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel). The
petrodiesel portion should be low or ultra low sulfur.
Observe the following precautions:
•
The biodiesel portion of the fuel must meet
specification ASTM D6751 or EN14214.
•
The blended fuel composition should meet ASTM
D975 or EN590.
•
Biodiesel blends may damage painted surfaces.
•
Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends
in cold weather.
•
Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel
as they may degrade over time.
•
The fuel filter may plug up for a period after
converting to biodiesel blends.
•
Contact a distributor for more information on
biodiesel blended fuel.
