Diesel fuels are blended to meet the local temperature requirements. The
standard grades are:
1. 1D for temperatures -22 to +86 °F (-30 to +30 °C)
2. 2D for temperatures +14 to +122 °F (-10 to +50 °C).
There are two main classifications of diesel fuel in general use:
1. Low-sulphur, "on-highway" diesel fuel
2. Medium-sulfur, "off-highway" diesel fuel. This fuel contains blue dye.
The engine manufacturer specifies the diesel fuel requirements. Additional
information can be found in the engine manufacturer's Operator's Manual.
Consult your local fuel distributor for the properties of the diesel fuels
available in your area
• Use a lithium base grease with E.P. additives and rust inhibitors. A #2
grade should be used at temperatures above 32° F (0° C) and #1
grade at or below 32° F (0° C).
• Wipe off all fittings before applying grease. Dirt on the fitting can be
forced through the opening in the fitting and cause premature bearing
failure.
• Lubricate all grease fittings with the specified grease.
