Quality

Fuel quality is an important factor
in obtaining satisfactory engine
performance, long engine life, and
acceptable exhaust emission levels.
In general, fuels meeting the
properties of ASTM designation
D 975 (grades 1-D and 2-D) have
provided satisfactory performance.
The fuels used must be clean,
completely distilled, stable, and
non-corrosive. For more information
regarding the significance of these
properties and selection of the proper
fuel, refer to publication, Engine
Requirements – Lubricating Oil, Fuel
and Filters (7SE270), available from
authorized Detroit Diesel distributors.
