3. Features & Benefits
-
Ultra-Clean Fuel (ULSD): A sulfur content below 10 ppm makes it compatible with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) and SCR systems on Euro 6 trucks, drastically reducing air pollution.
-
High Cetane Number & Smooth Combustion: Provides a fast, knock-free start to combustion, reducing engine wear and improving fuel efficiency.
-
Guaranteed Cold-Weather Performance: The winter grade, with flow improvers, prevents fuel filter clogging at sub-zero temperatures.
-
Injection Pump Protection: Its excellent lubricity prevents wear on the sensitive parts of high-pressure common-rail pumps.
4. Industrial Applications
-
Road Transport: The primary fuel for modern trucks, intercity buses, and diesel cargo vans.
-
Heavy Machinery: Fuel for loaders, excavators, cranes, and mining equipment.
-
Emergency Generators: Provides backup power for hospitals, data centers, and critical facilities.
-
Agriculture: Fuel for modern tractors, combine harvesters, and diesel irrigation pumps.
5. Safety & Handling
-
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet): This substance is flammable and an irritant. Prolonged skin contact causes dryness and cracking. Vapor inhalation in confined spaces is dangerous. The complete MSDS is available from Arnico.
-
Storage Conditions: Store in clean, water- and sediment-free tanks, in a cool, well-ventilated environment, away from sources of ignition and heat. Long-term storage without antioxidants should be avoided.
-
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Fuel-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and workwear are mandatory during decanting and sampling.
6. Quality Assurance & COA
All Arnico EN590 shipments are accompanied by a Certificate of Quality (COQ) with valid laboratory results based on the EN 590:2022 standard.
