9-54 Driving and Operating Caution (Continued) warranty. Do not use marine, locomotive, or boiler distillate fuel since it may contain higher sulfur levels. The emission control system requires the use of diesel fuel with ultra low sulfur content (15 ppm or 0.0015% by weight, maximum). Look for the following label on the dispenser to ensure you are filling with Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel. At a minimum, the diesel fuel you use should meet the latest version of ASTM specification D 975 (Grades number 2-D or number 1-D S15, commonly known as Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) in the United States. If there are questions about the fuel you are using, contact your fuel supplier. Diesel Fuel Grades For best results use number 2-D diesel fuel year-round (above and below freezing conditions) as oil companies blend number 2-D fuel to address climate differences. Number 1-D diesel fuel can be used in very cold temperatures (when it stays below −18°C or 0°F); however, it will produce a power and fuel economy loss. Avoid the use of number 1-D diesel fuel in warm or hot climates. It can result in stalling, poor starting when the engine is hot, and damage to the fuel injection system. Fuel Additives (Gasoline) To keep fuel systems clean, TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is recommended. See Fuel on page 9-52. If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is not available, one bottle of Fuel System Treatment PLUS, part number 88861013, added to the fuel tank at every engine oil change, can help. Fuel System Treatment PLUS is the only gasoline additive recommended by General Motors. It is available at your dealer.
