R vegetable oil
R petrol

Do not mix these fuels with diese lfuels and
do not use any special additives. Other-
wise, this can lead to damage to the engine.
This excludes flow improver ,see "Low out-

For further information on "Fuel", see
(Y page 313).
Low outsid etemperatures Diesel fuel with improved cold flow qualities
is available during the winter months. In
Europe, various climate-dependent low-tem-
perature classes are defined in EN 590. Refu-
elling with diesel fuel which complies with the
climatic specification sofstandard EN 590
can hel ptoprevent operatin gproblems. At
exceptionall ylow tempera tures, it is possible
that the flow properties of the fuel ma ybe
inadequate. This is also the case for fuel that
has not been adapted to the climatic specifi-
cations ,e.g. diese lfuel for warmer areas.
i Further information about country-spe-
cific fuel properties can be obtained from
oil companies, e.g. at filling stations.
Flow improver Flow improvers can be added to improve the
cold resistance of diesel fuel. The effective- ness of
aflow improver is not guaranteed with
every fuel.
