  • Page 48: How To Select Diesel Fuel

    All DD Platform engines are designed to operate on Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel. For optimal fuel system performance, Detroit Diesel recommends Top Tier Diesel (see figure below). For optimum engine operation and maximum service life, diesel fuels meeting the property requirements listed in the table below are recommended for use.

  • Page 49: Engine Out Of Fuel - How To Restart

    The following fuel additives are not allowed and MUST NOT be mixed with diesel fuel: • Used Lubricating Oil Do not use fuel blended with used lubricating oil. Detroit™ specifically prohibits the use of used lubricating oil in diesel fuel. Used lubricating oil contains combustion acids and particulate materials which can severely erode fuel injector components, resulting in loss of power and increased exhaust emissions.

    The following additives should not be used in Detroit™ engines: • Soluble Oils: Soluble oil additives are not approved for use in Detroit™ engine cooling systems. A small amount of oil adversely affects heat transfer. For example, a 1.25% concentration of soluble oil increases the fire deck temperature 6%.
  • Page 55 Nitrite concentration is an indication of the overall coolant inhibitor concentration in SLC formulations. These coolants must be tested for nitrite concentration at the regular intervals as listed in Table "Standard Life Coolant". Detroit™ Genuine Fluid Analysis 3-Way Test Strips (or equivalent) are recommended. Use these test strips to measure nitrite and glycol concentrations.

    In warm climates where freeze protection is not required, water only with corrosion inhibitors is approved for use. Water-only systems need to be treated with the proper dosage of corrosion inhibitors. Detroit™ approved conventional SCA or OAT corrosion inhibitors must be added to the water to provide required corrosion and cavitation erosion protection.
