PRESERVATIVE PRODUCTS
Preservative oil
Use a normal engine oil that meets the requirements
in the section Oil grade.
Preservative coolant
Use coolant containing 50% by volume of glycol. Ex-
ample: BASF MPG Glysacorr P113 and Valvoline Zerex
P113 FP.
WARNING !
Ethylene glycol can be fatal if ingested and can cause
skin irritation and eye damage.
Preservative fuel
Preservative fuel must not contain biodiesel. Even small
amounts of 5-10% biodiesel can have adverse effects on
the engine when in longterm storage.
Long-term storage of diesel, where the diesel comes
into contact with water, may lead to the growth of micro
organisms (bacteria and fungus). In order to minimise
the growth of micro-organisms, preservative fuel should
contain the following additives. The additives should be
selected and added by the fuel supplier. Preservative
fuel should comply with the following requirements:
• 0% biodiesel.
• Max. sulphur content 50 ppm.
• Max. water content 200 ppm.
• The fuel must contain additives to stop the growth of
micro-organisms.
