Fuel and Lubricants

For information on the properties of the diesel fuel available in your area, contact your local fuel distributor. Diesel fuels are typically blended to meet the low temperature requirements of the geographical area in which they are sold. Diesel fuels conforming to EN 590 or ASTM D975 are advised. Renewable diesel fuel, which is made by hydrotreating animal fats and vegetable oils, is nearly identical to petroleum diesel fuel. Renewable diesel that complies with EN 590 or ASTM D975 can be used at all percentage mixture levels.

Diesel Engine Oil
