5. Engine Fuel System
A. Fuel Types
When operating at temperatures above 32° F (0° C)
use standard #2 diesel fuel.
When operating at temperatures below 32° F (0° C)
use a blend of No. 1 diesel and No. 2 diesel fuels,
most commonly known as "winterized" No. 2 diesel.
Use ASTM No. 2 diesel fuel with a minimum Cetane
number of 40. No. 2 diesel fuel gives the best econ-
omy and performance under most operating condi-
tions. Fuels with Cetane numbers higher than 40
may be needed in high altitudes or extremely low
ambient temperatures to prevent misfires and ex-
cessive smoke.

Warning
Engine fuel is flammable and can cause a fire or an
explosion. Keep sparks and open flames away from
the vehicle and do not use smoking materials during
refueling or servicing of the fuel system.
