Maintenance
Fuel injection system
Only use recommended quality fuels according to the specifications below Always observe strict cleanliness when
refuelling and working on the fuel injection system.
All work on the engine injection pump or injectors must be carried out at an authorised workshop. If the injec-
tion pump lead seal is broken, all warranties are invalid.
WARNING! Fire risk. When carrying out work on the fuel system, make sure the engine is cold. A fuel spill
onto a hot surface or an electrical component can cause a fire. Store fuel-soaked rags so that they cannot
cause a fire.

Fuel specification
Fuel must meet national and international standards
for marketed fuel, for example:
EN590 (with national environmental and cold
weather standards)
ASTM-D975-No 1-D, 2-D
JIS KK 2204
Sulphur content: According to relevant national
statutory requirement. If the sulphur content ex-
ceeds 0.5 % by weight the oil change interval
should be changed, see section "Lubricating sys-
tem".
Fuels with extremely low sulphur contents ("urban
diesel" in Sweden and "city diesel" in Finland) may
cause a drop in output of 5% and an increase in fuel
consumption of 2–3%.
Fuel filter. Replace
Cleanliness! No dirt or contaminants may enter the
fuel injection system.
WARNING! Fuel filter replacement should be
carried out on a cold engine to avoid the risk of
fire caused by fuel spilling onto hot surfaces.
Remove the filters. Moisten the new filter gasket
with a little oil. Screw the filter into place by hand
until the gasket touches. And then a further half turn
but no more! Bleed fuel system. Take the old filter
to a suitable disposal point.
Start the engine and check for leaks.
