* = limit values with which fuel must comply at inlet to engine
** = limit values that can be approved in special project cases through special measures, such as the use of filter
system, water separator, additives or additional maintenance tasks. The special measures serve to optimize the
DMA fuel with regard to requirements before entry to the engine and must be coordinated with MTU.
Aviation turbine fuel
s are generally not approved.
