Fuel
Important
- Use the same type of diesel fuel as used in cars (EN 590 for E.U. - ASTM D975 regulation - S15 U.S.). Use of other types of fuel could damage the engine. Do not use dirty diesel fuel or mixtures of fuel and water since this will cause serious engine faults.
- Any failures resulting from the use of fuels other than recommended will not be warranted.
Warning
- Clean fuel prevents the fuel injectors from clogging. Immediately clean up any spillage during refuelling.
- Never store diesel fuel in galvanized containers (i.e. coated with zinc). Diesel fuel and the galvanized coating react chemically to each other, producing flaking that quickly clogs filters or causes fuel pump and/or injector failure.
2.5.1 Fuel for low temperatures
- When operating the engine in ambient temperatures lower than 0 degrees C, use use suitable low temperature fuel normally available from fuel distributors and corresponding to the specifications of Tab. 2.3.
- These fuels reduce the formation of paraffin in diesel at low temperatures.
- When paraffin forms in the fuel, the fuel filter becomes blocked interrupting the flow of fuel.
2.5.2 Biodiesel fuel
- Fuels containing 10% methyl ester or B10, are suitable for use in this engine provided that they meet the specifications listed in the Tab. 2.3.
- DO NOT USE vegetable oil as a biofuel for this engine.
