Permissible fuels
The following fuel specifications are permissib-
le:
z
Diesel fuels according to DIN EN 590
z
US diesel fuel according to ASTM D 975
Grade-No.1-D and 2-D
z
Japanese diesel fuel JIS K 2204 Grade 1
Fuel and Grade 2 fuel, with lubricating pro-
perties according to diesel fuel EN 590 (HF-
FR max. 460 micrometer according to EN
ISO 12156)
Commercially available diesel fuels with a sul-
phur content below 0.5%. If the sulphur content
is higher, the lubricating oil change intervals
must be reduced
(

)
If other fuels are used which do not meet the
requirements of the operating manual, the war-
ranty will be voided.
The certification measurements to satisfy the
legal emission limits are performed with the
test fuels defined by law. These correspond to
the diesel fuels according to EN 590 and
ASTM D 975 described in this operating manu-
al. No emission values are guaranteed with the
other fuels described in this operating manual.
Winter operation with diesel fuel
At low ambient temperatures paraffin dischar-
ges can lead to blockages in the fuel system
and cause operating faults. Use winter fuel at
outside temperatures below 0 °C (to -20 °C)
Only carry out mixing in the tank. Fill
with the appropriate amount of paraffin
first, then add the diesel fuel. Normal
and high grade fuels may not be mi-
xed.
(generally offered by petrol stations in good
time before the cold season begins).
z
Paraffin must be added below -20 °C. Ne-
cessary mixing ratios according to the dia-
gram opposite.
z
For Arctic climate zones up to - 44 °C, spe-
cial diesel fuels can be used.
If Summer diesel fuel has to be used below 0
°C, up to 30% paraffin can be mixed according
to the diagram opposite.
Generally, sufficient resistance to cold can also
be achieved by adding a flow ameliorant. For
questions regarding this please contact your
DEUTZ partner.
