1.1 This specification covers five grades of diesel fuel oils suitable for various types of diesel engines. These grades are described as follows:<\/p>\n
1.1.1 Grade Low Sulfur No. 1-D<\/i> A special-purpose, light distillate fuel for automotive diesel engines requiring low sulfur fuel and requiring higher volatility than that provided by Grade Low Sulfur No. 2-D.<\/p>\n
1.1.2 Grade Low Sulfur No. 2-D<\/i> A general-purpose, middle distillate fuel for automotive diesel engines requiring low sulfur fuel. It is also suitable for use in non-automotive applications, especially in conditions of varying speed and load.<\/p>\n
1.1.3 Grade No. 1-D<\/i> A special-purpose, light distillate fuel for automotive diesel engines in applications requiring higher volatility than that provided by Grade No. 2-D fuels.<\/p>\n
1.1.4 Grade No. 2-D<\/i> A general-purpose, middle distillate fuel for automotive diesel engines, which is also suitable for use in non-automotive applications, especially in conditions of frequently varying speed and load.<\/p>\n
1.1.5 Grade No. 4-D<\/i> A heavy distillate fuel, or a blend of distillate and residual oil, for low- and medium-speed diesel engines in non-automotive applications involving predominantly constant speed and load.<\/p>\n
Note 1A more detailed description of the grades of diesel fuel oils is given in Appendix X1.2.<\/p>\n
1.2 This specification, unless otherwise provided by agreement between the purchaser and the supplier, prescribes the required properties of diesel fuels at the time and place of delivery.<\/p>\n
1.2.1 Nothing in this specification shall preclude observance of federal, state, or local regulations which may be more restrictive.<\/p>\n
Note 2The generation and dissipation of static electricity can create problems in the handling of distillate diesel fuel oils. For more information on the subject, see Guide D 4865.<\/p>\n
1.3 Values are stated in SI units and are regarded as the standard.<\/p>\n
