For more information about recommended diesel fuels and the consequences of using bio-diesel fuel exceeding 20% biodiesel, see Additional Technical Fuel Requirements below. Diesel fuel should comply with the following world-wide specifications. Diesel Fuel Specification ASTM D975 No. 1D S15, S500 No. 2D S15, S500 EN590:96 ISO 8217 DMX BS 2869-A1 or A2 JIS K2204 Grade No. 2 KSM-2610 GB252 Location USA European Union International United Kingdom Japan Korea China Additional Technical Fuel Requirements • The fuel cetane number should be equal to 45 or higher. • The sulfur content must not exceed 0.15% by volume.
