(1 ) Perkins fuel systems and engIne components can operate
on high sulfur fuels . Fuel sulfur levels affect exhaust
emissions. High sulfur fuels also increase the potential
for corrosion of internal components. Fuel sulfur levels
above 0.5 percent may significantly shorten the oil change
intelVaL For additional information, see this publication , "fluid
Recommendations/Engine Oil" topic (Maintenance Section).
(2)
The values of the fuel viscosity are the values as the fuel
is delivered to the fuel injection pumps. If a fuel with a low
viscosity is used, cooling of the fuel may be required to
maintain a 1.4 cSt viscosity at the fuel injection pump. Fuels
with a high viscosity might require fuel heaters in order to bring
down the viscosity to a 20 cSt viscosity.
(3)
Follow the test conditions and procedures for gasoline (motor).
(4)
The lubricity of a fuel is a concern with low sulfur fuel. To
determine the lubricity of the fuel , use either the "ASTM 06078
Scuffing Load Wear Test (SBOCLE)" or the "ASTM 06079 High
Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR)" test. If the lubricity of a
fuel does not meet the minimum requirements, consult your
fuel supplier. Do not treat the fuel without consulting the fuel
supplier. Some additives are not compatible . These additives
can cause problems in the fuel system .

Maintenance Section
Refill Capacities
Operating with fuels that do not meet the Perkins rec-
ommendations can cause the following effects: Start-
ing difficulty, poor combustion, deposits in the fuel in-
jectors, reduced service life of the fuel system, de-
posits in the combustion chamber, and reduced ser-
vice life of the engine.
NOTICE
Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), Residual fuel, or Blended fuel
must NOT be used in Perkins diesel engines. Severe
component wear and component failures will result if
HFO type fuels are used in engines that are configured
to use distillate fuel.
In extreme cold ambient conditions, you may use the
distillate fuels that are specified in Table 15. However,
the fuel that is selected must meet the requirements
that are specified in Table 14. These fuels are
intended to be used in operating temperatures that
are down to -54 °C (-65 OF).

The fuels that are listed in this Table may not meet the
requirements that are specified in the "Perkins Specifications
for Distillate Diesel Fuel" Table . Consult the supplier for the
recommended additives in order to maintain the correct fuel
lubricity.
These fuels are lighter than the No.2 grades of fuel.
The cetane number of the fuels in Table 15 must be
at least 40. If the viscosity is below 1.4 cSt at 38 °C
(100 OF), use the fuel only in temperatures below
o
"C (32 "F). Do not use any fuels with a viscosity
of less than 1.2 cSt at 38 °C (100 OF). Fuel cooling
may be required in order to maintain the minimum
viscosity of 1.4 cSt at the fuel injection pump.
There are many other diesel fuel specifications that
are published by governments and by technological
societies. Usually, those specifications do not
review all the requirements that are addressed
in this specification. To ensure optimum engine
performance, a complete fuel analysis should be
obtained before engine operation. The fuel analysis
should include all of the properties that are listed in
Table 14.
