New Holland 200 Series Service Manual page 38

INTRODUCTION
NOTICE: NEW HOLLAND CONSTRUCTION may void your warranty if the problem is associated with poor fuel quality
due to improper blending. It is the responsibility of the fuel supplier and/or yourself to ensure the right type of fuel and
blend is delivered and used.
Maintenance intervals
For machines using the all electronic engines with a high pressure common rail fuel system, the engine oil and filter
change interval is reduced down to 50% of the standard value when using biodiesel blends greater than B5 up to B20.
Please refer to the maintenance intervals specified in the Operator Manual for all engines.
Check all hoses, connections and gaskets to ensure integrity and cleanliness every 3 months or 150 hours of oper-
ation, whichever comes first.
Regular oil sampling is highly recommended to monitor for oil and engine deterioration.
NOTE: Oil sampling kits are available from your authorized NEW HOLLAND CONSTRUCTION dealer.
When switching back from biodiesel to regular #2 diesel, all fuel filter, oil and oil filter should be changed even if this
falls between routine service intervals.
Storage
The machine should not be stored for more than three months with biodiesel in the fuel system. For longer storage
time, it is strongly suggested that only regular #2 diesel fuel is used.
NOTE: If storage for longer than 3 months is necessary, the engine must be run on regular #2 diesel for a minimum
of 20 h to flush the biodiesel fuel out of the fuel system prior to storage.
Biodiesel is highly hygroscopic and tends to collect water more than diesel fuel. This increases the risk of algae and
bacteria growth which can cause severe damage to the fuel injection system. Keep the machine fuel tanks and on-site
storage tanks as full as possible to limit the amount of air and water vapors inside the tank. Drain water from the tanks
at least once a week.
NOTICE: Do not use biocide additives on Tier 4a engines with an exhaust aftertreatment system.
