Storage and use

1. Prevent moisture and mechanical impurities from being mixed in.

2. It is strictly prohibited to mix it with gasoline and use it for lighting or as fuel for kerosene stoves.

3. Diesel must be precipitated, filtered, and impurities and moisture removed before use to ensure the normal operation of the diesel engine fuel supply system.

4. At low temperatures, in order to improve the low-temperature fluidity of diesel, a small amount of kerosene is allowed to be infiltrated into the diesel, but the flash point may not be qualified. But it is never allowed to add gasoline to diesel to improve the low-temperature fluidity of diesel.

5. Diesels of the same grade and different brands have basically the same quality indicators except for the freezing point and cold filtering point. Therefore, when resources are insufficient, they can be mixed at a suitable temperature and oil usage.

6. Strictly prevent exposure to sunlight and open flame heating, and try to store at a lower temperature. Necessary preheating can be carried out when using diesel in winter.
