Fuel for diesel engines

~1min read

Only use diesel fuels that comply with EN 590.

In countries outside the European Community, use Euro-diesel fuel with a sulphur content of less than 50 ppm.

Notice

Using fuel that does not comply with EN 590 or any other identical specification may lead to loss of engine power, increased wear or engine damage, and may affect the warranty.

Do not use marine diesel, heating oil, Aquazole, or any other identical diesel-water emulsion.

Mixing diesel with gasoline engine fuels to dilute it is not permitted.
