FUEL
CHECK EMISSION REGULATIONS OF YOUR AREA
With Emission control now in effect diesel fuel specification type and sulfur content % (ppm) used must be in compliant
with all applicable emission regulations for the area in which the engine is operated.
Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 0.10% (1000 ppm) is strongly recommended.
If high sulfur fuel is used, change oil and oil filters twice as often.
DO NOT USE Fuels that have sulfur content greater than 1.0% (10000 ppm).
Diesel fuels specified in EN 590 or ASTM D975 are recommended.
Since KUBOTA diesel engines of less than 56kW (75 hp) utilize EPA Tire 4 and Interim Tier 4 Standards, the use of low
sulfur fuel or ultra low sulfur fuel is mandatory for these engines, when operated in US EPA regulated areas. Therefore,
use No.2-D S500 or S15 diesel fuel as a alternative toe No. 2-D for ambient temperatures below -10°C (14° F).
