Warning
•
Clean fuel prevents the fuel injectors from clogging.
Immediately clean up any spillage during refuelling.
Never store diesel fuel in galvanized containers (i.e. coated with
zinc). Diesel fuel and the galvanized coating react chemically to
each other, producing flaking that quickly clogs filters or causes
fuel pump and/or injector failure.
Any failure resulting from the use of fuel other than Tab. 2.3, 2.4 will
not be covered by warranty.
*1: the regions known as poor lubricity diesel fuel
quality or if the engine is operated with Jet fuels, the
primary filter must be with lubricity dosing capability.
Contact Kohler for information about the approved filter
Power and torque might be 1% to 5% lower due to low fuel
density compared to standard diesel fuel.
Do NOT USE vegetable oils as a biofuel not compliant with
For ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) with no arctic
fuel available (Grade 1-D S15, Grade 2-D S15, ASTM D
