Fuel for diesel engine at low temperatures
■
Use winter diesel fuel during low temperatures. Usage of summer diesel fuel at low tem-
peratures may lead to incorrect operation of the fuel system and engine malfunction.
Reduce as much as possible amount of summer diesel fuel in the fuel tank during usage
at low temperatures, and refuel with winter diesel fuel as soon as possible. Check infor-
mation about type and features of usage of diesel fuel at the gas stations.
