CAUTION
• Gasoline vehicles: Use unleaded gasoline only.
• Whenever possible, avoid using oxygenated and blended fuels.
• Do not use any fuel with an alcohol content that exceeds 10% by volume (such as E85). Ethanol
is an alcohol that readily absorbs moisture causing corrosion of fuel system components. It also
damages neoprene and other plastic and rubber components. Use of these fuels in this vehicle
will void the warranty.
• Diesel vehicles: Use only diesel fuel grade no. 2 with a cetane rating of 45 or higher.
2.
Replace the fuel cap. Ensure that the cap is tightened securely.
3.
Clean any spilled fuel from the cap or around the fuel cap area.

BIODIESEL FUEL (DIESEL VEHICLES ONLY)
Biodiesel has unique qualities that should be considered before it is used in the Kubota D722 diesel engine. During
cold weather, plugged fuel lines, plugged fuel systems, hard starting, and other unknown failures can result from use
of this fuel.
Biodiesel is an excellent medium for microbial growth and contamination. Microbial contamination can cause corrosion
of the fuel system and prematurely plugged fuel filters.
See following NOTE.
NOTE:
Use of biodiesel may result in premature failure of fuel system components. Kubota has documented problems
such as plugged fuel filters and deteriorated fuel lines during testing of biodiesel.
Biodiesel can damage painted surfaces. Be sure to remove all spilled fuel immediately to help prevent damage to
painted surfaces.
If biodiesel will be used in the Kubota D722 engine, be sure that it meets the following requirements:
• The fuel blend should contain no more than 5% biodiesel by volume.
• The petroleum portion of the fuel blend must meet ASTM standard D975 and the biodiesel portion of the fuel
blend must meet ASTM standard D6751.
• For Europe, the fuel blend must meet the EN590 standard.
See following CAUTION.
