(1) This specification includes the requirements for Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD). ULSD fuel will have ≤ 15 ppm (0.0015%) sulfur. Refer to
"ASTM D5453", "ASTM D2622", or "ISO 20846, ISO 20884" test methods. This specification includes the requirements for Low Sulfur Diesel
(LSD). LSD fuel will have ≤500 ppm (0.05%) sulfur. Refer to following:"ASTM 5453, ASTM D2622", "ISO 20846" and "ISO 20884 test
methods".
(2) A fuel with a higher cetane number is recommended in order to operate at a higher altitude or in cold weather.
(3) "Via standards tables, the equivalent API gravity for the minimum density of 801 kg / m
mum density of 876 kg / m 3 is 30".
(4) Regional regulations, national regulations or international regulations can require a fuel with a specific sulfur limit. Consult all applicable regu-
lations before selecting a fuel for a given engine application. Perkins fuel systems and engine components can operate on high sulfur fuels.
Fuel sulfur levels affect exhaust emissions. High sulfur fuels also increase the potential for corrosion of internal components. Fuel sulfur lev-
els above 0.5% may significantly shorten the oil change interval. For additional information, refer to this manual, "Fluid recommendations
(General lubricant Information)".
