Grease for the Autolube System
The grease used with the automatic lubrication system must not contain any graphite or PTFE.Note: Pumpability is based on "US Steel Mobility and Lincoln Ventmeter Tests". Performance may vary depending on lubrication equipment and the length of the lines.Reference: Refer to Special Publication, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations" for additional information about grease.

Diesel fuel must meet Caterpillar Specification for Distillate Fuel and the latest revisions of "ASTM D975-09a" and "EN 590" to ensure optimum engine performance. Refer to Special Publication, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations" for the latest fuel information and for Cat fuel specification. This manual may be found on the web at Safety.Cat.com.
Illustration 1 g02052934Misfueling with fuels of higher sulfur level can have the following negative effects:
Adversely impact the performance and life of aftertreatment devices (cause loss of performance)
Reduce regeneration intervals of aftertreatment devices
Reduce engine efficiency and durability.
Increase the wear.
Increase the corrosion.
Increase the deposits.
Lower fuel economy
Shorten the time period between oil drain intervals (more frequent oil drain intervals).
Increase overall operating costs.Failures that result for the use of improper fuels are not Caterpillar factory defects. Therefore, the cost of repairs would not be covered by a Caterpillar warranty.Caterpillar does not require the use of ULSD in non-road and machine applications that are not Tier 4/Stage IIIB/ Stage IV certified engines and are not equipped with aftertreatment devices. Always follow operating instructions and fuel tank inlet labels to insure the correct fuels are used.Refer to Special Publication, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations" for more details about fuels, lubricants.

Cat Diesel Fuel Conditioner and Cat Fuel System Cleaner are available for use when needed. These products are applicable to diesel and biodiesel fuels. Consult your Cat dealer for availability.Biodiesel
Biodiesel is a fuel that can be made from various renewable resources that include vegetable oils, animal fat, and waste cooking oil. Soybean oil and rapeseed oil are the primary vegetable oil sources. To use any of these oils or fats as fuel, the oils or fats are chemically processed (esterified). The water and contaminants are removed.U.S. distillate diesel fuel specification "ASTM D975-09a" includes up to B5 (5 percent) biodiesel. Currently, any diesel fuel in the U.S. may contain up to B5 biodiesel fuel.European distillate diesel fuel specification "EN 590" includes up to B5 (5 percent) and in some regions up to B7 (7 percent) biodiesel. Any diesel fuel in Europe may contain up to B5 or in some regions up to B7 biodiesel fuel.Note: Up to B20 biodiesel blend level is acceptable for use in Load Haul Dump engines.When
