CAUTION
If ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel is
not used, the engine may not meet
emission regulations, and damage
may occur to the exhaust aftertreat-
ment system. The use of high-sulfur
diesel fuel will damage the exhaust af-
tertreatment system and impact the
engine emission. ULSD fuel is re-
quired for correct operation of the af-
tertreatment. The engine has been op-
timized for use with an aftertreatment
system together with ULSD fuel to
meet the 2013 U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency regulations. Failure
to comply may result in equipment or
property damage.
NOTE
PACCAR recommends that the cetane
number of diesel fuel be a minimum of
45 for engines that are expected to op-
erate at temperatures below 32ºF
(0ºC) and a minimum of 42 for engines
that are operated at temperatures
above 32ºF (0ºC).
Using diesel fuel with a lower-than-
recommended cetane number can cause
hard starting instability, and excessive
white smoke. To maintain satisfactory
operation at low ambient temperatures, it is
important to specify diesel fuel of the
correct cetane number.
PACCAR requires all permissible fuels to
have adequate fuel lubricity. Lubricity can
be determined by ASTM, specification
D6079, ISO 12156, High Frequency
Reciprocating Rig (HFRR) in which the fuel
must have a wear scar diameter of 0.02 in.
(0.5 mm) or less.
The use of Ultra-low-sulfer diesel (ULSD)
fuel is required for this engine in order to
meet emission regulations and to prevent
damage to the engine and exhaust system.
The use of other grades of diesel fuels
other than ULSD fuel will be considered a
use of incorrect fuel for the engine.
PACCAR is not responsible for failures
caused by the use of incorrect fuel, oil or
DEF or by water, dirt or other containments
in the fuel or DEF.
Warranty and the Use of
Biodiesel Fuel
Biodiesel information and warranty
precautions.
PACCAR Inc. approves the use of
biodiesel fuel blends up to 20 percent by
volume in diesel fuel providing that the
following conditions are met:
• The biodiesel used in the blend
meets ASTM Standard D6751 or EN
14214 specifications.
• The biodiesel used in the blend is
sourced from a BQ-9000 Accredited
Producer.
• The finished blend meets the fuel
properties of the ASTM Standard
D975 (up to B5 blend) or D7467 (B6
to B20 blend).
• If using B6-B20 the engine oil and oil
filter are changed per the modified
schedule. See the Engine
Preventative Maintenance Schedule.
• If using B6-B20 the fuel filter is
changed every 25,000 miles (40,000
km).
