IMPORTANT
Use summer grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at temperatures above
-7°C (20°F) and winter grade (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend)
below that temperature. Use of winter grade fuel at lower
temperatures provides lower flash point and cold flow
characteristics which eases starting and reduces fuel filter
plugging.
Use of summer grade fuel above -7°C (20°F) contributes toward
longer fuel pump life and increased power compared to winter
grade fuel.
Low (<500 ppm) or ultra low (<15 ppm)
40
Acquire only enough clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuel that
you will consume within 180 days. Do not use fuel that has been
stored for more than 180 days.
Do not add to the fuel
