Technical data Fuel specification The fuel must conform to national and international standards for commercial fuel, for example: EN 590 with environmental and low temperature specifications meeting national regulations. ASTM D 975 Nos. 1-D and 2-D JIS KK 2204 Sulfur content: In line with current legislation in the particular country. NOTE! Fuel with an extremely low sulfur content (for example Citydiesel in Sweden and Finland) can cause a loss of power of approximately 5% and lead to an increase in fuel consumption of approximately 2-3%.
The mixture specified below also provides complete corrosion protection. Seawater cooling A mixture of at least 40% Volvo Penta antifreeze (gly- col) and water (to ASTM D4985 specification) should be used. The mixture protects against damage due to freezing down to approximately -40°F (-40°C), and...
