Diesel Fuel
Consult your local fuel distributor for properties of thediesel
fuel available in your area.
In general, diesel fuels are blended to satisfy the
lowtemperature requirements of the geographical area inwhich they
are marketed.
Diesel fuels specified to EN 590 or ASTM D975
arerecommended.
Required fuel properties
In all cases, the fuel shall meet the followingproperties:
Cetane number of 45 minimum. Cetane numbergreater than 50 is
preferred, especially fortemperatures below -20 C (-4 F) or
elevations above1500 m (5000 ft).
Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) below theexpected low
temperature OR Cloud Point at least5 C (9 F) below the expected low
temperature.
Fuel lubricity should pass a minimum level of 3100grams as
measured by ASTM D6078 or maximum
scar diameter of 0.45 mm as measured by ASTMD6079 or ISO
12156-1.
Sulfur content:
Diesel fuel quality and fuel sulfur content mustcomply with all
existing emissions regulations for thearea in which the engine
operates.
Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than0.10% (1000 ppm)
is STRONGLY recommended.
Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content 0.10% (1000ppm to 0.50%
(5000 ppm) may result in REDUCEDoil and filter change
intervals.
BEFORE using diesel fuel with sulfur content greaterthan 0.50%
(5000 ppm), contact your John Deeredealer.
DO NOT use diesel fuel with sulfur content greaterthan 1.0%.
IMPORTANT: Do not mix used diesel engine oil orany other type of
lubricating oil withdiesel fuel.
IMPORTANT: Improper fuel additive usage maycause damage on fuel
injectionequipment of diesel engines.
DX,FUEL5 1927OCT051/1
Lubricity of Diesel Fuel
Most diesel fuels manufactured in the United States,Canada, and
the European Union have adequatelubricity to ensure proper
operation and durability offuel injection system components.
However, dieselfuels manufactured in some areas of the world
maylack the necessary lubricity.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the diesel fuel used inyour machine

Handling and Storing Diesel Fuel
CAUTION: Handle fuel carefully. Do not fillthe fuel tank when
engine is running.
DO NOT smoke while you fill the fuel tank orservice the fuel
system.
Fill the fuel tank at the end of each days operation toprevent
water condensation and freezing during coldweather.
Keep all storage tanks as full as practicable tominimize
condensation.
Ensure that all fuel tank caps and covers are installedproperly
to prevent moisture from entering.
Monitor water content of the fuel regularly.
When using bio-diesel fuel, the fuel filter may requiremore
frequent replacement due to premature plugging.
Check engine oil level daily prior to starting engine. Arising
oil level may indicate fuel dilution of the engineoil.
IMPORTANT: The fuel tank is vented through thefiller cap. If a
new filler cap isrequired, always replace it with anoriginal vented
cap.
When fuel is stored for an extended period or if thereis a slow
turnover of fuel, add a fuel conditioner tostabilize the fuel and
prevent water condensation.Contact your fuel supplier for
recommendations.

Bio-Diesel Fuel
Consult your local fuel distributor for properties of
thebio-diesel fuel available in your area.
Bio-diesel fuels may be used ONLY if the bio-dieselfuel
properties meet the latest edition of ASTM D6751,EN 14214, or
equivalent specification.
It is recommended to purchase bio-diesel fuel blendedwith B100
from a BQ-9000 Accredited Producer or aBQ-9000 Certified Marketer
as recommended by theNational Bio-diesel Board.
The maximum allowable bio-diesel concentration is a5% blend
(also known as B5) in petroleum diesel fuel.It has been found that
bio-diesel fuels may improvelubricity in concentrations up to this
5% blend.
When using a blend of bio-diesel fuel, the engine oillevel must
be checked daily when the air temperatureis 10 C (14 F) or lower.
If oil becomes diluted withfuel, shorten oil change intervals
accordingly.
IMPORTANT: Raw pressed vegetable oils are NOTacceptable for use
as fuel in anyconcentration in John Deereengines.
These oils do not burn completely,and will cause engine failure
by
leaving deposits on injectors and inthe combustion chamber.
A major environmental benefit of bio-diesel fuel is itsability
to biodegrade. This makes proper storage andhandling of bio-diesel
fuel especially important. Areasof concern include:
Quality of new fuel Water content of the fuel Problems due to
aging of the fuel
Potential problems resulting from deficiencies in theabove areas
when using bio-diesel fuel inconcentrations above 5% may lead to
the followingsymptoms:
Power loss and deterioration of performance Fuel leakage
Corrosion of fuel injection equipment Coked and/or blocked injector
nozzles, resulting in
engine misfire Filter plugging Lacquering and/or seizure of
internal components Sludge and sediments Reduced service life of
engine components

Minimizing the Effect of Cold Weather on Diesel Engines
John Deere diesel engines are designed to operateeffectively in
cold weather.
However, for effective starting and cold weatheroperation, a
little extra care is necessary. Theinformation below outlines steps
that can minimize theeffect that cold weather may have on starting
andoperation of your engine. See your John Deere dealerfor
additional information and local availability of coldweather
aids
Use Winter Grade Fuel
When temperatures fall below 5 C (40 F), winter gradefuel (Grade
No. 1-D fuel in North America) is bestsuited for cold weather
operation. Winter grade fuelhas a lower cloud point and a lower
pour point.
Cloud point is the temperature at which wax will beginto form in
the fuel and this wax causes fuel filters toplug. Pour point is the
temperature at which fuelbegins to thicken and becomes more
resistant to flowthrough fuel pumps and lines.
NOTE: On an average, winter grade fuel has a lowerBTU (heat
content) rating. Using winter gradefuel may reduce power and fuel
efficiency, butshould not cause any other engineperformance
effects. Check the grade of fuelbeing used before troubleshooting
for lowpower complaints in cold weather operation.
Air Intake Heater
An air intake heater is an available option to aid coldweather
starting.
CAUTION: Do not use any starting fluid withan air intake
heater.
Starting Fluid
A starting fluid port on the intake is available to aidcold
weather starting.
CAUTION: Do not use any starting fluid withan engine equipped
with glow plugs
Coolant Heater
An engine block heater (coolant heater) is an availableoption to
aid cold weather starting.
Seasonal Viscosity Oil and Proper CoolantConcentration
Use seasonal grade viscosity engine oil based ion theexpected
air temperature range between oil changesand proper concentration
of low silicate antifreeze asrecommended. (See DIESEL ENGINE OIL
andENGINE COOLANT requirements this section.)
Diesel Fuel Flow Additive
Use John Deere Premium Diesel Fuel Conditioner(Winter) or
equivalent to treat fuel during the coldweather season. This winter
formulation is acombination diesel fuel conditioner and
anti-geladditive.
IMPORTANT: Treat fuel when outside temperaturedrops below 0 C
(32 F). For bestresults, use with untreated fuel.Follow all
recommended instructionson label.
Winterfronts
Use of fabric, cardboard , or solid winterfronts is
notrecommended with any John Deere engine. Their usecan result in
excessive engine coolant, oil, and chargeair temperatures. This can
lead to reduced engine life,loss of power and poor fuel economy.
Winterfrontsmay also put abnormal stress on fan and fan
drivecomponents potentially causing premature failures.

Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolant
DX,FUEL10 1916DEC052/2
If winterfronts are used, they should never totally closeoff the
grill frontal area. Approximately 25% area in thecenter of the
grill should remain open at all times. Atno time should the air
blockage device be applieddirectly to the radiator core.
Radiator Shutters
If equipped with a thermostatically controlled radiatorshutter
system, this system should be regulated insuch a way that the
shutters are completely open by
the time the coolant reaches 93 C (200 F) to preventexcessive
intake manifold temperatures. Manuallycontrolled systems are not
recommended.
If air-to-air aftercooling is used, the shutters must
becompletely open by the time the intake manifold airtemperature

Drain Intervals for Diesel Engine Coolant
Drain the factory fill engine coolant, flush the coolingsystem,
and refill with new coolant after the first 3years or 3000 hours of
operation.
Subsequent drain intervals are determined by thecoolant used for
service. At each interval, drain thecoolant, flush the cooling
system, and refill with newcoolant.
When John Deere COOL-GARD is used, the draininterval may be
extended to 5 years or 5000 hours of
operation, provided that the coolant is tested annuallyAND
additives are replenished, as needed, by addinga supplemental
coolant additive.
If John Deere COOL-GARD is used but the coolant isnot tested OR
additives are not replenished by addinga supplemental coolant
additive, the drain interval is 3years or 3000 hours of
operation
If COOL-GARD is not used, the drain interval isreduced to 2
years or 2000 hours of operation.

Additional Information About Diesel Engine Coolants and
Supplemental CoolantAdditives
Engine coolants are a combination of three chemicalcomponents:
ethylene glycol or propylene glycolantifreeze, inhibiting coolant
additives, and qualitywater.
Coolant specifications
Some products, including John Deere COOL-GARDPrediluted Coolant,
are fully formulated coolants thatcontain all three components in
their correctconcentrations. Do not add an initial charge
ofsupplemental coolant additives to these fullyformulated
products.
Coolants meeting ASTM D6210 do not require aninitial charge of
supplemental coolant additives.
Some coolant concentrates, including John DeereCOOL-GARD Coolant
Concentrate, contain both glycolantifreeze and inhibiting coolant
additives. Mix theseproducts with quality water, but do not add an
initialcharge of supplemental coolant additives.
Coolants meeting ASTM D4985 require an initialcharge of
supplemental coolant additives.
Replenish coolant additives
The concentration of coolant additives is graduallydepleted
during engine operation. Periodicreplenishment of inhibitors is
required, even whenJohn Deere COOL-GARD or another fully
formulatedcoolant is used. Follow the recommendations in thismanual
for the use of supplemental coolant additives.
Why use supplemental coolant additives?
Operating without proper coolant additives will result
inincreased corrosion, cylinder liner erosion and pitting,and other
damage to the engine and cooling system. A
simple mixture of ethylene glycol or propylene glycoland water
will not give adequate protection.
Use of supplemental coolant additives reducescorrosion, erosion,
and pitting. These chemicalsreduce the number of vapor bubbles in
the coolant andhelp form a protective film on cylinder liner
surfaces.This film acts as a barrier against the harmful effectsof
collapsing vapor bubbles.
Avoid automotive-type coolants
Never use automotive-type coolants (such as thosemeeting ASTM
D3306). These coolants do not containthe correct additives to
protect heavy-duty dieselengines. They often contain a high
concentration ofsilicates and may damage the engine or
coolingsystem.
Water quality
Water quality is important to the performance of thecooling
system. Distilled, deionized, or demineralizedwater is recommended
for mixing with ethylene glycoland propylene glycol base engine
coolant concentrate.All water used in the cooling system should
meet thefollowing minimum specifications for quality:

DO NOT use a coolant-water mixture greater than60% ethylene
glycol or 60% propylene glycol.
DX,COOL4 1907NOV031/1
Supplemental Coolant Additives
The concentration of coolant additives is graduallydepleted
during engine operation. For allrecommended coolants, replenish
additives betweendrain intervals by adding a supplemental
coolantadditive every 12 months or as determined necessaryby
coolant testing.
John Deere COOLANT CONDITIONER isrecommended as a supplemental
coolant additive inJohn Deere engines.
IMPORTANT: Do not add a supplemental coolantadditive when the
cooling system isdrained and refilled with JohnDeereCOOL-GARD .
If other coolants are used, consult the coolant supplierand
follow the manufacturers recommendation for useof supplemental
coolant additives.
The use of non-recommended supplemental coolantadditives may
result in additive drop-out and gelationof the coolant.
Add the manufacturers recommended concentration ofsupplemental
coolant additive. DO NOT add more thanthe recommended amount.

Testing Diesel Engine Coolant
Testing Diesel Engine Coolant
Maintaining adequate concentrations of glycol andinhibiting
additives in the coolant is critical to protectthe engine and
cooling system against freezing,corrosion, and cylinder liner
erosion and pitting.
Test the coolant solution at intervals of 12 months orless and
whenever excessive coolant is lost throughleaks or overheating.
Coolant test strips
Coolant test strips are available from your John Deeredealer.
These test strips provide a simple, effective
method to check the freeze point and additive levels ofyour
engine coolant.
Compare the results to the supplemental coolantadditive (SCA)
chart to determine the amount ofinhibiting additives in your
coolant and whether moreJohn Deere COOLANT CONDITIONER should
beadded.
COOLSCAN and COOLSCAN PLUS
For a more thorough evaluation of your coolant,perform a
COOLSCAN or COOLSCAN PLUS analysis,where available. See your John
Deere dealer forinformation.

Operating in Warm Temperature Climates
John Deere engines are designed to operate usingglycol base
engine coolants.
Always use a recommended glycol base enginecoolant, even when
operating in geographical areaswhere freeze protection is not
required.
IMPORTANT: Water may be used as coolant inemergency situations
only.
Foaming, hot surface aluminum andiron corrosion, scaling,
andcavitation will occur when water isused as the coolant, even
whencoolant conditioners are added.
Drain cooling system and refill withrecommended glycol base
enginecoolant as soon as possible.

Avoid Excessive Engine Idling
Avoid excessive engine idling. Prolonged idling may causethe
engine coolant temperature to fall below its normalrange. This, in
turn, causes crankcase oil dilution, due toincomplete fuel
combustion, and permits formation ofgummy deposits on valves,
pistons, and piston rings. Italso promotes rapid accumulation of
engine sludge andunburned fuel in the exhaust system.
Once an engine is warmed to normal operatingtemperatures, engine
should be idled at slow idle speed.(See ENGINE POWER RATING AND
