If yo u heat fuel sy stem components, e.g. with
a heat gun or open flame, these components
could be damaged.
Fu el may leak out and ignite. Depending on
th e type of damage, fuel might not escape
until the engine is running. #
Never heat fuel sy stem components. #
Consult a qualified specialist workshop
to have the malfunction rectified. Re
fill only with commercially available ULTRA-
LO W SULFUR DIESEL (ULSD, maximum sulfur
content 15ppm), which fulfills the ASTM D9 75
st andard.
The flow properties of diesel fuel may be inade‐
qu ate at low outside temp eratures due toparaf fin
separation.
% Malfunctions
resulting from paraf fin separa‐
tion can only be rectified byheating the
entire fuel sy stem. Park theve hicle in a
heated garage ,fo rex ample.
To prev ent malfunctions, diesel fuel with
impr oved flow ch aracteristics is available in the
