NOTE: In a warranty case the customer must prove by a certificate from the fuel supplier that an allowed
fuel was used.

KDI Mechanical Injection Tier 3 – Stage IIIA certified Engines (w and w/o EGR)

Those engines are designed for fuels in accordance with EN 590 and ASTM D975 for a cetane number of at least 45. Since
those engines are not equipped with exhaust gas after-treatment, they can be operated with diesel fuels with sulfur content up
to 500 mg/kg (ppm). Compliance with the emission requirements is guaranteed only with sulfur content up to 15 mg/kg (ppm).
Engines operated with fuels as per EN 590 and ASTM D975 with sulfur content < 15mg/kg have an oil changing interval of
500hrs. Fuels with a sulfur content > 500 mg/kg demand a shorter lubricating oil change interval. This is set at 250hrs. However,
the engine oil must be changed when the Total Base Number TBN is reduced to 6.0 mgKOH/g test method ASTM D4739. With
high fuel sulfur content fuel this may happen at 125hrs. Do not use low SAPS oils.

KDI Mechanical Injection Uncertified Engines (no EGR Engines)

Those engines are designed for fuels in accordance with EN 590 and ASTM D975 for a cetane number of at least 45. Since
those engines are not equipped with exhaust gas after-treatment, they can be operated with diesel fuels with sulfur content
up to 2000 mg/kg (ppm).
Engines operated with fuels as per EN 590 and ASTM D975 with sulfur content < 15mg/kg have an oil changing interval of
500hrs. Fuels with a sulfur content > 500 mg/kg demand a shorter lubricating oil change interval. This is set at 250hrs. However,
the engine oil must be changed when the Total Base Number TBN is reduced to 6.0 mgKOH/g test method ASTM D4739.

EN 12 ED0053029510 _14 Index


TECHNICAL INFORMATION 2

2.5.1 Fuel for low temperatures

• When operating the engine in ambient temperatures lower than 0 degrees C, use suitable low temperature fuel normally
available from fuel distributors and corresponding to the specifications of Tab. 2.3.
• These fuels reduce the formation of paraffin in diesel at low temperatures.
• When paraffin forms in the diesel, the fuel filter becomes blocked interrupting the flow of fuel.

2.5.2 Biodiesel fuel


• Fuels containing 10% methyl ester or B10, are suitable for use in this engine provided that they meet the specifications listed
in the Tab. 2.3.
• DO NOT USE vegetable oil as a biofuel for this engine.

2.4 BIODIESEL COMPATIBILITY


Biodiesel according to EN 14214 (only permissible for mixture with diesel fuel at max. 10% (V/V))
US biodiesel according to ASTM D6751 – 09a (B100) (only permissible for mixtures with diesel fuel at 10% (V/V))

2.5.3 Synthetic fuels: GTL, CTL, BTL, HV

It is a well-known fact that engines which are operated for longer periods with conventional diesel fuel and then converted
to synthetic fuels suffer shrinkage of polymer seals in the injection system and thus fuel leaks. The reason for this behavior is
that the aromatic-free synthetic fuels can lead to a change in the selling behavior of polymer seals.
Therefore, conversion from diesel fuel to synthetic fuel may only be done after changing the critical seals. The problem of
shrinkage does not occur when an engine was operated with synthetic fuel from the start.

2.5.4 Non-Road Fuels

Other non-road fuels may be used if they comply with all the limit values of EN 590 except for the fuel density, the cetane
number and the sulfur content.
The following limits apply for these parameters:
2.5 FUEL PARAMETER UNIT LIMIT VALUE
Cetane number Min. 49
Fuel density at 15°C Kg/m3 820 - 860
Sulfur content mg/kg or ppm max. 500

2.5.5 Jet Fuels

Only for KDI Mechanical Injection Uncertified Engines (no EGR Engines).
The following jet fuels can be used but only adopting an additional fuel filter with lubricity doser:

2.6 FUEL
F-34/F-35 (kerosene, NATO designation) JP-8 (kerosene, US military designation)
F-44 (kerosene, NATO designation JP-5 (kerosene, US military designation)

Jet A (kerosene for civil aviation)
F-34/F-35 with additives)
F-65 (kerosene, NATO designation, 1:1 mixture of F-54
Jet A1 (kerosene for civil aviation)
and F-34/F-35)

2.5.6 Emission-Related Installation Instructions

Failing to follow the instructions in the applications guidebook when installing a certified engine in a piece of nonroad equipment
violates federal law (40 CFR 1068.105(b)), subject to fines or other penalties as described in the Clean Air Act.
OEM must apply a separate label with the following statement: “ULTRA LOW SULFUR FUEL ONLY” near the fuel inlet.
Ensure you are installing an engine appropriately certified for your application. Constant speed engines may only be installed

2 TECHNICAL INFORMATION

2.6 Coolant
A mixture of 50% demineralized water and 50% low silicate ethylene glycol based coolant liquid must be used.
Use a Long Life or Extended Life Heavy Duty OAT coolant free of: silicates, phosphates, borates, nitrites and amines.
The following ethylene-glycol based engine coolant for all models within KDI engine family may be used:

• OAT (Organic Acid Technology) Low Silicate: ASTM D-3306 D-6210


• HOAT (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology) Low Silicate: ASTM D-3306 D-6210

The above coolants in concentrated formulation must be mixed with distilled, deionized, or demineralized water. A pre-mixed
formulation (40-60% or 50-50%) can be used directly when available.

Important
• Do not mix ethylene glycol and propylene glycol based coolants. Do not mix OAT and HOAT based coolant. OAT performance
life can be drastically reduced if contaminated with nitrite-containing coolants.
• Never use automotive-type coolants. These coolants do not contain the correct additives to protect heavy – duty diesel
engines.

OAT coolants are maintenance free up to 6 years or 6000hrs of operation , provided that the cooling system is topped up using
the same type of coolant. Do not mix different coolant types. Test the coolant condition annually with coolant test strips.
HOAT are not all maintenance free and it is recommended to have SCA (Supplemental Coolant Additives) added at the first
maintenance interval
