■ Refilling the Fuel Tank

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage.
●NEVER use a galvanized container to store fuel. 

Diesel fuel in a galvanized container reacts with the 
zinc coating in the container to generate zinc 
flakes. If the fuel contains water, a zinc gel will also 
occur. The zinc gel and flakes will quickly clog the 
fuel filter and damage the fuel injection nozzle and 
fuel pump.

Diesel fuel should comply with the following 
specifications.

In cold climate, use Grade No. 1-D diesel fuel, and in 
warm climate, use Grade No. 2-D diesel fuel. The 
cetane number of the diesel fuel used must be 45 or 
higher. 
When the air temperature drops below –4°F(–20°C) 
or the altitude of the work site exceeds 5000 ft (1500 
m), use a diesel fuel whose cetane value is 50 or 
higher.

The sulfur content must not exceed 0.5 % by volume. 
Less than 0.05 % is preferred.

Bio-diesel Fuels
In the United States, non-mineral oil based fuel 
resources such as RME (Rapeseed Methyl Ester) 
and SOME (Soybean Methyl Ester), collectively 
known as FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters), are 
being used as extenders for mineral oil derived diesel 
fuels.
Cub Cadet Yanmer approves the use of bio-diesel 
fuels that do not exceed a blend of 5 % (by volume) 
of FAME with 95 % (by volume) of approved mineral 
oil derived diesel fuel. Such bio-diesel fuels are 
known in the market place as B5 diesel fuels.
