FUEL
High Speed diesel conforming to IS 1460 or EN 590 or
equivalent is recommended to be used as fuel.
At very low temperatures fluidity of diesel may
become insufficient due to paraffin separation. It is
therefore, necessary to mix supplementary fuel with
summer or winter grade diesel. The supplementary
fuel to be used is kerosene or aviation turbine fuel.
Ratios for mixing of supplementary fuel and diesel are
shown in table :
Ambient Percentage
temperature upto summer suppl.
Degc. Grade diesel fuel
upto 0 100 0
0 to -10 70 30
-10 to - 15 50 50
Ambient Percentage
temperature upto Winter suppl.
Degc. Grade diesel fuel
upto - 15 100 0
-15 to -20 70 30
-20 and below 50 50
Care should be taken that diesel and supplementary
fuel are thoroughly mixed before filling.
