Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels with low
(<500 ppm) or ultra low (<15 ppm) sulfur content. The
minimum cetane rating should be 40. Purchase fuel in
quantities that can be used within 180 days to ensure fuel
freshness.
Fuel tank capacity: 114 L (30 US gallons)
Use summer grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at temperatures
above -7° C (20° F) and winter grade (No. 1-D or No.
1-D/2-D blend) below that temperature. Use of winter grade
fuel at lower temperatures provides lower flash point and
cold flow characteristics which will ease starting and reduce
fuel filter plugging.
