Static Electricity Hazard when
Fueling with Ultra-low Sulfur Diesel
Fuel
The removal of sulfur and other compounds in ultra-
low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD fuel) decreases the
conductivity of ULSD and increases the ability of
ULSD to store static charge. Refineries may have
treated the fuel with a static dissipating additive.
Many factors can reduce the effectiveness of the
additive over time. Static charges can build up in
ULSD fuel while the fuel is flowing through fuel
delivery systems. Static electricity discharge when
combustible vapors are present could result in a fire
or explosion. Ensure that the entire system used to
refuel your machine (fuel supply tank, transfer pump,
transfer hose, nozzle, and others) is properly
grounded and bonded. Consult with your fuel or fuel
system supplier to ensure that the delivery system
complies with fueling standards for proper grounding
and bonding.
Éviter les risques liés à l'électricité statique pen-
dant le ravitaillement en carburant. Le carburant
diesel à très basse teneur en soufre (carburant
ULSD) présente un plus grand risque d'allumage
statique que les formules diesel antérieures dont
la teneur en soufre était supérieure. Éviter les ris-
ques d'incendie et d'explosion pouvant entraîner
des blessures ou la mort. Consulter le fournis-
seur de carburant ou du circuit de carburant pour
vérifier que le dispositif de distribution est
conforme aux normes de ravitaillement de carbu-
rant en termes de mise à la masse et de liaison.
Inhalation

Exhaust
Use caution. Exhaust fumes can be hazardous to
health. If you operate the equipment in an enclosed
area, adequate ventilation is necessary.
Hexavalent Chromium
Perkins equipment and replacement parts comply
with applicable regulations and requirements where
originally sold. Perkins recommends the use of only
genuine Perkins replacement parts.
Hexavalent chromium has occasionally been
detected on exhaust and heat shield systems on
Perkins engines. Although laboratory testing is the
only accurate way to know if hexavalent chromium is,
in fact, present, the presence of a yellow deposit in
areas of high heat (for example, exhaust system
components or exhaust insulation) may be an
indication of the presence of hexavalent chromium.
