Fuel

ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL (ULSD)

Figure 9 American Petroleum Institute (API) Diesel Pump
Label
The API Diesel Pump Label is compliant with Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) CFR 80.570.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION: Diesel fuel sold for
use in 2007 and later highway vehicles must be limited
to a sulfur content of 15 parts per million (ppm).
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel is required for MaxxForce
7 Diesel Engines used with advanced aftertreatment systems.
The fuel should meet all the specifications of ASTM D975
standard (current year revision), including the EPA specification
for sulfur content (0.0015 % mass or 15 ppm maximum). These
specifications are included in the standard under the designation
No. 2-D S15 fuel and No. 1-D S15 fuel. Grade No. 1-D fuel is
a lighter fuel with higher volatility than grade No. 2-D; it may
be blended with grade No. 2-D in wintertime to provide engine
operability under low ambient temperature.

UNACCEPTABLE FUEL AND BLENDS

• Low Sulfur Diesel (LSD) fuel 0.05% (500 ppm)
• Commercial Jet A or JP8 aviation fuel
• Heating or furnace oil
• Biodiesel B100 (neat biodiesel)
• Biodiesel blends higher than 20%
• Any fuel mixed with used motor oil
