Fuels, Lubricants and Coolant Dieselscan Fuel Analysis DIESELSCAN is a John Deere fuel sampling program to help you monitor the quality of your fuel source. It verifies fuel type, cleanliness, water content, suitability for cold weather operation, and if fuel is within ASTM specifications. Check with your John Deere dealer for availability of DIESELSCAN kits.

Use of low lubricity diesel fuels may also cause ASTM D975 and EN 590 specifications do not require accelerated wear, injection nozzle erosion or corrosion, fuels to pass a fuel lubricity test. engine speed instability, hard starting, low power, and engine smoke.
Sulfur content of diesel fuel for highway use is less than 0.05% (500 ppm) in the United States and Fuel lubricity should pass a minimum load level of Canada, and less than 0.035% (350 ppm) in the 3100 grams as measured by ASTM D6078 or European Union. maximum scar diameter of 0.45 mm as measured by ASTM D6079 or ISO 12156-1.
