Use No. 2ĆD diesel fuel at temperatures above 20F
(Ć7C) and No. 1ĆD diesel fuel below 20F (Ć7C). Use
of No. 1ĆD diesel fuel at lower temperatures provides
lower flash point and pour point characteristics,
therefore, easing startibility and lessening chances of
chemical separation of the fuel due to low
temperatures (wax appearance, which may plug
filters).
