www.changlin.com.cn Fuel Recommendations/Specifications Warning: Do not mix gasoline or alcohol with diesel fuel. This mixture can cause an explosion. Caution: Due to the precise tolerances of diesel injection systems, it is extremely important that the “ fuel be kept clean and free of dirt or water. Dirt or water In the system can cause severe damage to both the fuel Injection pump and the nozzles. NOTE: The use of diesel fuel blended with lube oil is not acceptable for engines equipped with a catalytic convertor. Automotive engines for model year 1 994 and beyond are equipped with a catalyst as a part of emission control. Use ASTM No. 2 D fuel with a minimum Cetane number of 40. No.
2 diesel fuel gives the best economy and performance under most operating conditions. Fuels with Cetane numbers higher than 40 may be needed In high altitudes or extremely low ambient temperatures to prevent misfires and excessive smoke. At operating temperatures below 0°C [32°F], use a blend of No. 1 D and No. 2D fuels, also known as “winterized” No. 2 D. NOTE: No. 1 D fuel can be used, however, fuel economy and performance will decrease. Use low sulfur content fuel having a cloud point that is at least 10 degrees below the lowest expected fuel temperature. Cloud point is the temperature at which wax crystals begin to form in diesel fuel.
The viscosity of the fuel must be kept above 1.3 centistokes at 40°C [104°F] to provide adequate fuel system lubrication. For a more detailed description of fuel properties, refer to Fuel For Cummins Engines, Bulletin No. 3379001-04. The following chart lists acceptable alternate fuels for MidRange engines. NOTE: Any adjustment to compensate for reduced performance with a fuel system using alternate fuel is not warrantable. NOTE: Wear on any mid-range fuel injection pump component attributed to the lack of lubrication in the fuel is not a warrantable repair. 139 / 149 pages Acceptable Alternate Fuels Component Wear/Durability Fuel Type Bosch Inline Pumps Nippondenso EP-9 NO.
