Fuel specification
The use of high-quality fuel is a prerequisite for
achieving the engine output specified.
Recommended fuel specification
•
N590-diesel engines - Auto/C0/C1/C2/C3/C4
•
BS2869 Class A2
•
ASTM D975-91 Class 2-2DA, US DF1, US DF2,
US DFA
•
JIS K2204 (1992) Class 1, 2, 3 and special class 3.
Attention
If sulfur-free fuel is used, additions to
lubricants must be used.
Sufficient fuel specification
Attention
The fuel specification listed below is sufficient
but may reduce the life expectancy of the fuel
injection system.
•
ASTM D975-91 Class 1-1DA
•
JP7, MIL T38219 XF63
•
NATO F63
Fuel with low sulfur content
•
Only use commercially available brand-name
diesel fuel with a sulfur content of less than 0.5%.
Sulfur content in fuel
in %
< 0.5
0.5 to 1.0
>1.0
Table 24 Oil change interval if sulfur content in fuel is
higher
Winter fuel
In winter, only use winter diesel fuel to prevent
clogging of the fuel system due to paraffin separation.
Even if winter diesel fuel is used, disturbing
separations may occur at very low temperatures.
