(1) A fuel with a higher cetane number than 45 is recommended to operate at a higher altitude in cold weather
(2) Density range allowed includes summer and winter diesel fuel grades.
(3) Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel with sulphur content less than 0.0015 percent 15 PPM (mg/kg) must be used. Use of diesel fuel with higher than
15 PPM sulphur limit in these engines will harm or permanently damage emissions control systems. Also, use of diesel fuel with higher than
15 PPM sulphur limit can shorten service interval.
(4) The values of the fuel viscosity are the values as the fuel is delivered to the fuel injection pumps. Fuel should also meet the minimum viscos-
ity requirement and the fuel should meet the maximum viscosity requirements at 40 °C (104 °F) of either the "ASTM D445" test method or
the "ISO 3104" test method. If a fuel with a low viscosity is used, cooling of the fuel may be required to maintain "1.4 cSt"or greater viscosity
at the fuel injection pump. Fuels with a high viscosity might require fuel heaters to lower the viscosity to "1.4 cSt" at the fuel injection pump.
(5) Follow the test conditions and procedures for gasoline (motor).
(6) The lubricity of a fuel is a concern with low sulfur and ultra low sulfur fuel. Fuel with higher wear scar diameter than 0.52 mm (0.0205 inch)
will lead to reduced service life and premature failure of the fuel system. Refer to the lubricity section of this "Operation and Maintenance
Manual" Fluid Recommendations for more information.
(7) Recommended cleanliness level for fuel as dispensed into machine or engine fuel tank is"ISO 18/16/13"or cleaner as per "ISO 4406". Refer
to the "Contamination Control Recommendations for Fuels.
(8) Examples of trace metals include but not limited to Cu, Fe, Mn, Na, P, Pb, Si, and Zn. Use of metal-based additives is not allowed.
(9) Additional limit for fuel containing FAME. Fuel containing more than 2% v/v FAME must meet both tests.
Note: The owner and the operator of the engine has
the responsibility of using the fuel that is prescribed
by the EPA and other appropriate regulatory
agencies.
