Diesel Fuel Specifications

Use a good grade of Number Two Diesel Fuel in your Diesel Engine. Do not use other types or fuel. The use of other fuels will result in loss of engine power and high fuel consumption.

NOTE: When the temperature is very cold, the use of a mixture of Number one and number Two Diesel Fuel is permitted for a short period of time. See your fuel Dealer for winter fuel requirements in your area.
