These 95
diesel fuels must meet certain
requirements.
1. The

must
specifications for the country in which they are
used.
In Europe, bio-diesel fuels must comply with the
European Standard EN14214.
In the United States, bio-diesel fuels must comply
with the American Standard ASTM D-6751.
2. Bio-fuels should be purchased only from
recognized and authorized diesel fuel suppliers.
Precautions and concerns regarding the use of
bio- fuels:
1. Free methanol in FAME may result in corrosion
of aluminum and zinc FIE components.
2. Free water in FAME may result in plugging of
fuel filters and increased bacterial growth.
3. High viscosity at low temperatures may result in
fuel delivery problems, injection pump seizures,
and poor injection nozzle spray atomization.
4. FAME may have adverse effects on some
elastomers (seal materials) and may result in
fuel leakage and dilution of the engine
lubricating oil.
5. Even bio-diesel fuels that comply with a suitable
standard as delivered, will require additional
care and attention to maintain the quality of the
fuel in the equipment or other fuel tanks. It is
important to maintain a supply of clean, fresh
fuel. Regular flushing of the fuel system, and /
or fuel storage containers, may be necessary.
6. The use of bio-diesel fuels that do not comply
with the standards as agreed to by the diesel
engine manufacturers and the diesel fuel
injection equipment manufacturers, or biodiesel
fuels that have degraded as per the precautions
and concerns above, may affect the warranty
coverage of your engine.

Gasoline Specifications
Only unleaded gasoline should be used for
DOOSAN forklift trucks.
The gasoline in which methanol is contained is not
recommended. The gasoline in which ethanol is
contained is not recommended, either.
It is recommended to use gasoline fuel that has
octane number 87, to prevent knocking trouble.
LP Specifications
LP is "liquefied petroleum gas". The exact
composition of LP varies slightly between different
parts of the country and different refineries. HD5 or
HD10 is recommended for DOOSAN forklift trucks.
Composition of HD5
Propane (C
Propylene
Butane (C
4
iso - Butane
Methane (CH
Total
Remember LP is heavier than air and will sink
to the lowest spot possible. Avoid areas near
floor drains or lubrication pits where escaped
fuel may collect.
