Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) EN590 -10PPM
Diesel fuel is a liquid fuel for compression-ignition engines (no spark plug). It is refined from petroleum and consists of hydrocarbons boiling between 180–360°C. EN 590 (Class A2) gas oil must meet these limits (typical values in brackets):
- Density at 15°C: min 0.82 kg/m³ (typ. 0.856)
- Carbon residue: max 0.3% (typ. 0.1%)
- Flash point: min 56°C (typ. >62°C)
- Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP): max –4°C summer / –12°C winter (typ. –8°C / –15°C)
