FUEL :
High speed diesel conforming to IS1460 or EN 590 or equivalent
is recommended to be used as fuel.
At very low temperature, fluidity of diesel may become
insufficient due to paraffin separation. It is therefore necessary
to mix supplementary fuel with summer or winter grade diesel.
The supplementary fuel to be used is kerosene or aviation
turbine fuel.
Ratio for mixing of supplementary fuel and diesel are shown
in the table.
