Approved Fuel
This engine is designed to run on diesel fuel. Use only high quality fuel meeting ASTM D975 No. 2D,
EN590, or equivalent. At temperatures below 32° F (0° C) winter fuel blends are acceptable. See the
engine operation manual for more information.
Biodiesel blends up to 5% (B5) are approved for use in this unit. The fuel used must meet the
specifications for diesel fuel shown above. In certain markets, higher blends may be used if certain steps
are taken. Extra attention is needed when using biodiesel, especially when operating in cold weather or
storing fuel. Contact your Ditch Witch
®
dealer or the engine manufacturer for more information.
Approved Coolant (Tier 4)
This unit was filled with John Deere
®
Cool-Gard
®
coolant before shipment from factory. Add only John
Deere Cool-Gard (p/n 255-006) or any fully-formulated, ethylene glycol based, low-silicate, heavy-duty
diesel engine coolant meeting ASTM specification D6210.
Avoid static electricity when fueling. Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD)
poses a greater static ignition hazard than earlier diesel formulations. Avoid death or
serious injury from fire or explosion. Consult with your fuel system supplier to ensure the
delivery system is in compliance with fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding
practices.
IMPORTANT:
Tier 4i: The engine in this product is certified to operate on low sulfur diesel fuel (LSD). Fuel sulfur
content should be less than 5000 ppm (0.5%). Worldwide fuel sulfur regulations vary widely. Fuel used
should always comply with local regulations. Prior to shipping, Tier 4i units were filled with API CJ-4
DEO. If operating fuel with sulfur content above 500 ppm (500mg/kg), change oil initially at 100 hours.
Tier 4: The engine in this product is certified to operate on Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel with a
sulfur content of 15 ppm (15mg/kg) or less. Using fuels with higher sulfur content will cause damage to
the engine and affect exhaust emissions. Such action is a violation of the US Clean Air Act and US EPA
regulations and will result in fines.
NOTICE:
• Use only pre-diluted or concentrated coolant mixed with distilled water. Do not use tap water.
• Do not use water or high-silicate automotive-type coolant. This will lead to engine damage or
premature engine failure.
• Do not mix heavy-duty diesel engine coolant and automotive-type coolant. This will lead to coolant
breakdown and engine damage.
