gest these options:
Fuel Operating Range

NOTE:

Use “Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuels” ONLY.

*No. 1 Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel should only be used

where extended arctic conditions (-10°F/-23°C) exist.

NOTE:

• Use of Climatized Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel or

Number 1 Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel results in a

noticeable decrease in fuel economy.

• Climatized Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel is a blend of

Number 2 Ultra Low Sulfur and Number 1 Ultra Low

Sulfur Diesel Fuels which reduces the temperature at

which wax crystals form in fuel.

• The fuel grade should be clearly marked on the pump

at the fuel station

• The engine requires the use of “Ultra Low Sulfur

Diesel Fuel”

. Use of incorrect fuel could result in

engine and exhaust system damage. Refer to “Fuel

Requirements” in “Starting and Operating” for further

information.
