Approved fuel additives
Information
Additives are not permitted except fuel biocides such as Grotamar 81 and 71 von Schülke & Mayr
GmbH.
Diesel fuel at low temperatures (winter operation)
Diesel fuel produces paraffin crystals at low ambient temperatures. These crystals increase the
flow resistance in the fuel filter to such an extent that an adequate fuel supply to the diesel engine
is no longer guaranteed.
NOTICE
Risk of property damages!
Incorrect fuel damages the engine. Admixture of paraffin, normal petrol or other substances will
cause damage to the injection system. Leaks due to precipitated paraffins.
u Do not admix paraffin, normal petrol or other additives to the diesel fuel.
u Use a start-up aid (for example fuel filter heating system).
u Use special diesel fuels with adequate flow properties.
