6.4 Fuel Specifications

I. High Altitude and Low Temperature Fuels
Fuels with cetane numbers higher than 40 may be needed in high altitudes or extremely low ambient
temperatures to prevent misfires and excessive smoke.
II. Cold Weather Fuel
At operating temperatures below 32° F, use a blend of No. 1D and No. 2D fuels, also known as
"Winterized" No. 2D.
Use a low sulfur content fuel having a cloud point that is at least 10 degrees below the lowest
excepted fuel temperature. Cloud point is the temperature at which wax crystals begin to form in
diesel fuel.
The viscosity of the fuel must be kept above 1.3 centistoke to provide adequate fuel system lubrica-
tion.

6.5 Connecting the Air Discharge Lines

Connect the customer supplied air discharge lines, designed to handle a minimum of 200 PSI continu-
ously, to the two 3/4" MNPT air discharge ports.

6.6 Pre-Startup Inspection

This inspection must be done prior to initial system startup.
I. Check all assemblies, clamps, fittings, hose connections, nuts, and bolts to ensure they are properly
tied and secured.
II. Remove all tools, rags, and installation equipment from the area.
III. Verify the air discharge valves are closed.
Installation
Use ASTM No. 2D fuel with a minimum cetane number of 40.
No. 2 diesel fuel gives the best economy and performance
under most operating conditions. See engine manufactures
operators/instruction manual for the proper engine fuel for the
brand engine in your Boss Industries, Inc. Air Compressor.
No. 1D fuel can be used; however, fuel economy will suffer.
