Diesel Fuel Requirements

CAUTION: All diesel engines are to use Diesel Fuel #2 when the outside temperature is above 20°F (-7°C). In temperatures that are below 20°F (-7°C) use Diesel Fuel #1, this will reduce the chance of the fuel thickening and forming wax.
NOTE: A Diesel Fuel #1 & #2 combination (Blended Fuel) may be used, and is recommended for mild winter driving.
