Biodiesel Ready
This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel of up
to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel). The petrodiesel
portion should be low or ultra-low sulfur. Observe the
following precautions:
•
The biodiesel portion of the fuel must meet specification
ASTM D6751 or EN14214.
•
The blended fuel composition should meet ASTM D975
or EN590.
•
Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel blends.
•
Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends in cold
weather.
•
Monitor seals, hoses, and gaskets in contact with fuel as
they may degrade over time.
•
Fuel-filter plugging may be expected for a time after
converting to biodiesel blends.
•
Contact your distributor if you wish for more information
on biodiesel.
Fill the tank to about 6 to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the
top of the tank, not the filler neck, with diesel fuel.
Note: If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use; this will
minimize possible buildup of condensation inside the fuel
tank.
