(Table 8, contd)
(1) Perkins fuel systems and engine components can operate on
ASTM Test
high sulfur fuels. Fuel sulfur levels affect exhaust emissions.
High sulfur fuels also increase the potential for corrosion of in-
"D1319"
ternal components. Fuel sulfur levels above 0.5 percent may
significantly shorten the oil change interval. For additional infor-
"D482"
mation, see this publication, "Fluid Recommendations/Engine
Oil" topic (Maintenance Section).
(2) The values of the fuel viscosity are the values as the fuel is de-
"D524"
livered to the fuel injection pumps. If a fuel with a low viscosity
is used, cooling of the fuel may be required to maintain a 1.4
cSt viscosity at the fuel injection pump. Fuels with a high vis-
"D613"
cosity might require fuel heaters in order to bring down the vis-
cosity to a 20 cSt viscosity.
(3) Follow the test conditions and procedures for gasoline (motor).
(4) The lubricity of a fuel is a concern with low sulfur fuel. To deter-
- mine the lubricity of the fuel, use either the "ASTM D6078
Scuffing Load Wear Test (SBOCLE)" or the "ASTM D6079 High
Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR)" test. If the lubricity of a
fuel does not meet the minimum requirements, consult your fuel
supplier. Do not treat the fuel without consulting the fuel suppli-
"D130"
er. Some additives are not compatible. These additives can
cause problems in the fuel system.
"D86"
Operating with fuels that do not meet the Perkins rec-
ommendations can cause the following effects: Start-
ing difficulty, poor combustion, deposits in the fuel
injectors, reduced service life of the fuel system, de-
"D93"
posits in the combustion chamber and reduced serv-
ice life of the engine.
"D287"
Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), Residual fuel, or Blended fuel
"D97"
must NOT be used in Perkins diesel engines. Severe
component wear and component failures will result if
"D3605"
HFO type fuels are used in engines that are config-
or
ured to use distillate fuel.
"D1552"
In extreme cold ambient conditions, you may use the
"D445"
distillate fuels that are specified in Table 9 . However,
the fuel that is selected must meet the requirements
that are specified in Table 8 . These fuels are
"D1796"
intended to be used in operating temperatures that
"D1744"
are down to −54 °C (−65 °F).

(1) The fuels that are listed in this Table may not meet the require-
ments that are specified in the "Perkins Specifications for Distil-
late Diesel Fuel" Table. Consult the supplier for the
(continued)
recommended additives in order to maintain the correct fuel
lubricity.
