Ekodiesel Ultra
Application
The Ekodiesel Ultra diesel fuel is intended for use in high RPM autoignition engines of road transport vehicles, especially in large urban agglomerations and environmentally sensitive areas.
Characteristics
The Ekodiesel Ultra diesel fuel contains a number of upgrading additives serving different purposes, such as increasing of the cetane number, reduction of smoke in the exhaust gases, detergents cleansing the injection apparatus, corrosion inhibitors, antioxidants, de-emulsifying agents, biocides and anti-precipitation agents. It can also contain an anti-foam agent and a fuel labelling compound. From the environmental perspective, the reduced sulphur content (below 10 mg/kg) is particularly important.
With respect to the fuel's low-temperature performance, three grades of Ekodiesel Ultra have been distinguished: B, D and F, corresponding to the moderate climate fuels, plus Class 2, equivalent of arctic climate or severe winter climate fuel:
- Ekodiesel Ultra B diesel fuel – with the Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) not higher than 00C
- Ekodiesel Ultra D diesel fuel – with CFPP not higher than –10°C
- Ekodiesel Ultra F diesel fuel – with CFPP not higher than –20°C
- Ekodiesel Ultra 2 diesel fuel – with CFPP not higher than –32°C and
the Cloud Point not higher than –22°C
The diesel fuel with the properties listed in the table below should be used in the following seasons:
- Grade B – in the moderate climate, during the summer period, i.e. from mid April to the end of September;
- Grade D – in the moderate climate, during the transition periods, i.e. from the beginning of March to mid April and from the beginning of October to mid November
- Grade F – in the moderate climate or Class 2 for the arctic climate or severe winter climate, during the winter period, i.e. from mid November to the end of February.
