Automotive fuels - Paraffinic diesel fuel from synthesis or hydrotreatment - Requirements and test methods
This European Standard describes requirements and test methods for marketed and delivered paraffinic diesel fuel containing a level of up to 7,0 % (V/V) fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). It is applicable to fuel for use in diesel engines and vehicles compatible with paraffinic diesel fuel. It defines two classes of paraffinic diesel fuel: high cetane and normal cetane.**Paraffinic diesel fuel originates from synthesis or hydrotreatment processes.**NOTE 1 – For general diesel engine warranty, paraffinic automotive diesel fuel may need a validation step, which for some existing engines may still need to be done (see also the Introduction to this document). The vehicle manufacturer needs to be consulted before use.**NOTE 2 – For the purposes of this document, the terms % (m/m) and % (V/V) are used to represent respectively the mass fraction and the volume fraction.
