Diesel Fuel

Precautions and concerns regarding the use of
bio-fuels:

1. Free methanol in FAME may result in corrosion

of aluminum and zinc FIE components.

2. Free water in FAME may result in plugging of

fuel filters and increased bacterial growth.

3. High viscosity at low temperatures may result in

fuel delivery problems, injection pump seizures,
and poor injection nozzle spray atomization.

4. FAME may have adverse effects on some

elastomers (seal materials) and may result in
fuel leakage and dilution of the engine
lubricating oil.

5. Even bio-diesel fuels that comply with a suitable

standard as delivered, will require additional
care and attention to maintain the quality of the
fuel in the equipment or other fuel tanks. It is
important to maintain a supply of clean, fresh
fuel. Regular flushing of the fuel system,
and / or fuel storage containers, may be
necessary.

6. The use of bio-diesel fuels that do not comply

with the standards as agreed to by the diesel
engine manufacturers and the diesel fuel
injection equipment manufacturers, or bio-
diesel fuels that have degraded as per the
precautions and concerns above, may affect
the warranty coverage of your engine. See
Yanmar Limited Warranty on page 2-3
