Purchase diesel fuel in small quantities and store in clean, approved containers. Clean fuel prevents the diesel fuel injectors and pumps from clogging. Do not overll the fuel tank.
Leave room for the fuel to expand. Immediately clean up any spillage during refueling.
Never store diesel fuel in galvanized containers; diesel fuel and the galvanized coating react chemically to each other, producing aking that quickly clogs lters or causes fuel pump or
injector failure.
High sulfur content in fuel may cause engine wear. In those countries where diesel has a high sulfur content, it is advisable to lubricate the engine with a high alkaline oil or alternatively
to replace the lubricating oil recommended by the manufacturer more frequently. The regions in which diesel normally has a low sulfur content are Europe, North America, and Australia.

For best results, use only clean, fresh, commercial-grade diesel fuel. Diesel fuels that satisfy the following specications are suitable for use in this engine: ASTM D-975 - 1D or 2D,
EN590, or equivalent.

It is possible to run the engine at temperatures below 0°C using special winter fuels. These fuels reduce the formation of parafn in diesel at low temperatures. If parafn forms in the
diesel, the fuel lter becomes blocked interrupting the ow of fuel.
Fuel can be: Summer up to .......... 0°C (32°F)
Winter up to .......... -10°C (14°F)
Alpine up to ...........-20°C (-4°F)
Arctic up to ......... -30°C (-22°F)

Fuels containing less than 20% methyl ester or B20 are suitable for use in this engine. Biodiesel fuels meeting the specication of
BQ-9000, EN 14214 or equivalent are recommended. DO NOT use vegetable oil as a biofuel for this engine. Any failures resulting
from the use of fuels other than recommended will not be warranted.
