Fuel Quality Grade
Use only diesel fuel or diesel blends with up to 7% FAME (B7), with less
than 0.5% sulphur content of which the quality is fully controlled and
conform the standards below.
The following fuel specications / standards are approved:
- CEN EN 590:2009
- ASTM D975-09
Don’t use fuel with more than 1% sulfur!
The cetane number must be at least 49.
The exhaust emission levels determined during certication by the su-
pervising authority are always based on the reference fuel described
by law. These fuels match the diesel fuels which are in accordance with
CEN EN 590 and ASTM D 975. Emission levels cannot be guaranteed
with other fuels.

Biodiesel
Caution
Use only the prescribed diesel fuel or diesel blends. Do not use 100%
biodiesel (B100)!
Although the use of biodiesel is allowed in diesel blends with up to 7%
FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) (B7) fast degradation of the biodiesel
should be taken in account.
Problems caused by using FAME of poor quality or degraded fuel are
not covered by warranty.
Winter-grade fuel
Waxing may occur at low temperatures, clogging the fuel system and
reducing engine eciency.
If the ambient temperature is less than 0°C (+32°F), winter-grade fuel
-suitable down to -15°C (+5°F) - should be used. This fuel is usually
available from lling stations well in advance of the cold months. Die-
sel fuel containing additives (Super Diesel) is often on sale as well, for
use down to -20°C (-4°F).
