In extreme situations, when available fuels are of
poor quality or problems exist which are peculiar
to certain operations, additives can be used.
However, the engine manufacturer recommends
consultation with the fuel supplier or engine
manufacturer prior to use of fuel additives.
Among the situations where additives can prove
useful are the following:
• A cetane improver additive can be used with
low cetane fuels.
• A wax crystal modifier can help with fuels with
high cold filter plugging points (CFPP).
• An anti-icer can help prevent ice formation in
wet fuel during cold weather.
• An anti-oxidant or storage stability additive
can help with fuel system deposits and poor
storage stability.
• A lubricity enhancer can be used to increase
the lubricity of fuels so that they meet the
requirements given in the table above.
Diesel fuel conditioner is available from your
Dealer.

7.3.1.5 Storage
Your machine can operate at top efficiency only if
clean fuel and lubricants are used.
• Use clean containers to handle all fuels and
lubricants.
• Store in an area protected from dust,
moisture, and other contaminants.
• Buy good quality, clean fuel from a reputable
dealer.
• Avoid storing fuel over long periods of time. If
you have a slow turnover of fuel in windrower
tank or supply tank, add fuel conditioner to
avoid condensation problems.
• Store fuel in a convenient place away from
buildings.
