Fuel Oxidation Stability – Must Use Fuel Within

Six Months Of Manufacture

Biodiesel fuel has poor oxidation stability which can

result in long term storage problems. Fuel produced to

approved ASTM standards, if stored properly, provides

for protection against fuel oxidation for up to six months.

Fuel Water Separation – Must Use Mopar

Approved Fuel Filter Elements

Biodiesel fuel has a natural affinity to water and water

accelerate microbial growth. Your Mopar filtration sys-

tem is designed to provide adequate fuel water separa-

tion capabilities.

Fuel In Oil Dilution – Must Adhere To Required

Oil Change Interval

Fuel dilution of lubricating oil has been observed with

the use of Biodiesel fuel. Fuel in oil must not exceed 5%.

To ensure this limit is met your oil change interval must

be maintained with in the suggested schedule. The

regular use of biofuels greater than 5% and less than 20%

require intervals shorter than the outlined 10,000 miles

and must not exceed the suggested schedule. When

routinely operating on biofuels greater that 5% and less

than 20%, oil and filter replacement intervals must not

exceed 8,000 Miles or 6 months, which ever comes first.

Biodiesel Fuel Filter Change Intervals

The use of biofuels require intervals shorter than the

outlined 30,000 miles (48 280 km) and must not exceed

the suggested schedule. When operating on biofuels

greater that 5% and less than 20%, fuel filter replacement

intervals must not exceed 20,000 Miles (40 233 km).
