2D, EN590, or equivalent. At temperatures below 32°F (0°C), winter fuel blends are acceptable. See

Avoid static electricity when fueling. Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD)
poses a greater static ignition hazard than earlier diesel formulations. Avoid death or
serious injury from fire or explosion. Consult with your fuel system supplier to ensure the
delivery system is in compliance with fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding
practices.
NOTICE: Use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (less than 15 ppm (15 mg/kg) sulfur content) in this unit.
Operating with higher sulfur content will damage the engine and after treatment device.
Select oil based on ambient temperature range expected before next oil change.
