    This document discusses fuel specifications for an SAA6D170 engine. It recommends using ASTM Grade No. 2-D diesel fuel with a minimum Cetane number of 40 for normal service above -12°C (+10°F). For operating temperatures below -12°C, it recommends using ASTM Grade No. 1-D diesel fuel. It also provides specifications for fuel cloud point, viscosity, and warnings against mixing gasoline or alcohol with diesel fuel.

    Do not mix gasoline or alcohol with

    diesel fuel. This mixture can cause an


    explosion.
    IMPORTANT: Due to the precise
    tolerances of the HPI diesel injection
    system, 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
    pump and injectors.

    For normal service above -12C (+lOF),

    the use of ASTM Grade No. 2-D diesel fuel


    with a minimum Cetane number of 40 is
    recommended. The use of No. 2-D diesel
    fuel will result in optimum engine
    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 -12C

    (+lOF), use ASTM Grade No. 1-D diesel


    fuel. The use of lighter fuels can reduce
    fuel economy.
    Where a winterized blend of Grade No. 2D and No. 1 -D fuels is available, it may be
    substituted for Grade No. 1 -D fuel.
    However, it is the suppliers responsibility
    to provide the fuel for the anticipated
    ambient temperature.

    Use a 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 crystals begin to
    form in the fuel.
    The viscosity of the fuel must be kept
    above 1.3 cSt at 100C (212F) to provide
    adequate fuel system lubrication.
