6.3 Diesel fuels for engines with exhaust aftertreatment Engines with exhaust aftertreatment place special demands on the fuels used to guarantee the operational reliability and service life of the exhaust system and the engine. Depending on the technology used for exhaust aftertreatment, the following fuels can be used. Technical approval for Exhaust gas technology

If the specifications from the tables are not observed, the prescribed TBO can not be guaranteed. Warranty claim cases that result from the use of an impermissible fuel quality shall be rejected. If a fuel is present that does not comply with MTU specifications, in certain circumstances MTU can assist in the selection of corresponding improvement measures. Any possible restrictions related to engine requirements must also be observed. Diesel fuel with a proportion of biodiesel (FAME, fatty acid methyl ester) of max. 7% in accordance with DIN EN 590:2014-04 may be used. The use of fuels with an increased proportion of biodiesel is not permitted for plants with exhaust aftertreatment because trace elements they may contain can act as catalyst poisons and lead to filter obstructions.
