DIESEL

Definition

Fuel intended for generators, cars, trucks etc. with diesel engines.

Specifications

  • Oily
  • Slightly yellow
  • Strong smell

Instructions for use

Petrol should never be used instead of diesel.

Water and impurities in diesel can cause irreversible damage to the engine's fuel injection system.

When there is sufficient place to build up a stock, it is highly recommended to filter the fuel. The decision to put in place a stock of diesel is often motivated by the need to guarantee a supply chain without ruptures (or to put in place a security stock), but this is also an opportunity to increase the quality of the fuel by adapting the way the stock is set up and by an appropiate stock management.

It is recommended to install a security stock that can be renewed periodically.

For safety reasons, fuel should not be stored in the proximity of residential buildings, particularly during conflicts. It must be stored in a shaded, well-ventilated place, free of flammable materials or heat sources (such as a generator). Make sure there is a fire extinguisher or a bucket of sand placed nearby.

Choose a colour for each type of fuel and use it to mark all related articles, such as jerrycans, drums, pumps, etc.

Precautions for low temperatures

Diesel contains paraffin. To prevent this paraffin solidifying and clogging up the filters at low temperatures, the diesel contains additives in order to lower the minimum temperature at which the diesel can be filtered.

In case no additives were added, you have the following options:

  • add the antifreeze additive to protect the diesel.
  • add to the diesel 30% of kerosene or Jet A-1. Note: this is not applicable to engines with "common-rail" technology, where there is a risk of serious damages to the injection system and/or to the engine.

Caution

In some cases the same name refers to different fuels in different languages, which can lead to confusion.

For example, in French, petrol is called "essence" and kerosene (lamp oil) is called "pétrole (lampant)".
