Diesel Fuel

Fuel sulphur content should be less than 1.0 percent preferably less than 0.5 percent. Diesel fuel having sulphur content higher than 1.0 percent may cause increase wear on metal engine parts because of acids produced by sulphur during combustion.

IMPORTANT: If fuel sulphur content exceeds 0.7 percent, the engine oil drain interval must be reduced by 50 percent to 125 hours.

Cetane number should be no less than 40 to assure satisfactory starting and overall performance.

Fitleration of fuel is critical for proper operation of engine. Use genuine MICO fuel filters. Alwasy change fuel filter insert at given interval
