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.

NOTE:

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 Re-
quirements in this section for further details on fuel
recommendations.
