Preface
Dear Customer,
MAN diesel engines are developed to the state of the art and built using the latest production technology.
This results in significant properties such as:
D Economical operation owing to low fuel and lubricating oil consumption
D Low weight
D Limited maintenance overhead and spare part requirements and a long service life
D Future-oriented environmental compatibility
D Quick load pickup
D Compact design
However, trouble-free operation and high performance can be achieved only if the specified maintenance
intervals are observed and the fuels, lubricants and coolants approved by MAN are used.
Please observe guidelines for the protection of the environment when handling fuels, lubricants and
coolants.
Yours faithfully
MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG

Guidelines for the protection of the environment
Fuels, lubricants and coolants are poisonous, inflammable and also harmful to the environment if
they are not used properly. Do not allow them to seep into the ground or into the sewerage sys
tem. Hand used oil over to old oil disposal companies or dispose of them as special waste.
Engine oil
D Hand old oil over to old-oil-disposal companies only.
D Ensure without fail that oil does not seep into the sewerage system and / or into the ground.
Caution:
Risk of contamination of potable water.
D Dispose of used filter elements and cartridges as special waste.
Coolant
D Dispose of undiluted anticorrosion protection and / or antifreeze agents as special waste.
D When disposing of used coolant, the regulations issued by the relevant local authorities must be ob
served.
Diesel fuel
D Strict attention should be paid to ensuring that diesel fuel does not seep into the sewerage system and /
or into the ground.
Caution:
Risk of contamination of drinking water.
D Dispose of used filter elements and cartridges as special waste.
5
Engine oils
Caution:
Common-rail engines may only be operated with oils complying with works standard M 3277.
6
Engine oils
Caution:
In high-performance marine diesel engines, extreme operating conditions may lead to deposits in
the charge-air area that reduce the engine output.
For these engines, low-deposit engine oils complying with factory standard M 3277 are recom
mended in particular.
Conditions of approval
The approval for engine oils is valid for two years and can be extended by another two years at the request
of the manufacturer / supplier provided that the quality of the oil in question has not changed.
Before purchasing a product, make sure that it is still approved by having the supplier produce the MAN let
ter of approval.

Fuel
Diesel fuel complying with the following standards is suitable for the operation of MAN diesel engines:
D European norm EN 590
D DIN EN 590 (Germany)
D ASTM D 975 No. 1 D (USA)
D BS 2869 Part 1 Class A 1 (Great Britain)
11
Fuel
Winter operation
As ambient temperatures fall diesel fuel deposits paraffin crystals which increase the flow resistance in the
fuel filter so much that an adequate fuel supply is no longer guaranteed.
Summer-grade diesel fuel to DIN EN 590 guarantees cold-flow characteristics down to 0_C, winter-grade
fuel to DIN EN 590 to temperatures down to -20_C.
Winter diesel fuel is required for trouble-free operation in winter. The fuel manufacturer guarantee operating
reliability for this fuel that goes beyond the DIN standard!
Alongside the ”Limit value of filtering capability" usually defined in the EN 590 standard (CFPP), a cloud
point (CP) that is as low as possible is decisive for safe operating characteristics (see diagram).
In countries where even lower ambient temperatures are reached, special diesel fuel (Alpine or Arctic qual
ity) is usually available.
12
Fuel
(FAME = Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) e.g. rapeseed oil methyl ester (RME)
As a general principle, MAN engines can be operated with FAME if this fuel meets the standard
DIN EN 14214 and has been made of rapeseed oil.
There is currently no approval for FAME made of other substances.
Common Rail:
Engines with CR fuel injection are not approved for operation with FAME!
13
Fuel
Caution:
It is not permitted to use pure vegetable oils or mixtures thereof!
The same applies to any type of so-called ”alternative fuels" that do not comply with the DIN EN
590 or DIN EN 14214 standards mentioned.
14
Fuel
15
Fuel
Application:
Fuel tank:
In filling operations, add 50 ml (0.05 %) of disinfectant to every 100 litres of diesel fuel or biodiesel.
This operation is repeated a total of three times.
In doing so, check the fuel pre-filter.
Storage tank:
If the tank sump shows no heavy water or sludge contamination, it is not necessary to flush the tank. In this
case, it is sufficient to add 1 litre disinfectant per m3 tank content.
Caution:
Before using the disinfectants mentioned, be sure to observe the EU data sheets on safety (latest
version).
If necessary, contact the manufacturer (e.g. for information on supply sources abroad).
16
Coolant
General recommendations
The cooling system functions properly only if it works at a positive pressure. It is therefore absolutely ne
cessary that it is kept clean and tight, that the radiator closing and working valves function correctly and the
required coolant level is maintained.
Antifreeze agents tested and approved by us guarantee sufficient protection against frost, corrosion and
cavitation. They do not attack seals and hoses and do not foam.
The cooling systems of the engine must be filled for the whole year with a mixture of 60% water and 40%
antifreeze providing frost protection down to -27°C.
Coolant
Coolants which contain unsuitable antifreeze agents or which are prepared insufficiently or incorrectly, are
liable to cause failure of machinery and components in the cooling circuit due to cavitation or corrosion
damage. Besides, heat insulating deposits may occur on heat transferring components, so that in the end
the engine is overheated and fails.
To guarantee reliable operation of MAN diesel engines, the coolant must generally consist of 60% water
and 40% antifreeze over the whole year. This guarantees adequate corrosion protection. In special cases,
corrosion inhibitors (chemicals) according to MAN 248 may be used.
As a matter of fundamental principle, emulsive anticorrosion protection oils are not permitted.
Water
Potable tap water with the following restricted analytical data may be used:
Appearance: colourless, transparent, free of mechanical contaminants
Hardness: max 20° German total hardness
835,6° French hardness
825° British hardness
8358 ppm USA hardness
Chlorides: max. 100 ppm
Sulphates: max. 150 ppm
pH-value at 20°C: 6,5 to 8,5
Enquires on potable water analyses are to be addressed to the competent authorities.
Where no such tap water is available, mix distilled water or distillate or condensate until the analytic values
are reached.
17
Coolant
Caution:
Coolants to MAN 324 Type SNF must not be used in conjunction with silicon coolant hoses to
MAN 334 Type 3 (blue).
Distinguishing feature of silicon coolant hoses: blue colour, the figure 3 in the item number, e.g.
04.27405-9150, 50-3x1000.
D Use only such antifreeze agents which have been approved according to MAN 324.
A minimum concentration must always be maintained at 40% b.v. as corrosion protection is inadequate
below that level.
D The cooling system is designed such that in Central Europe a coolant charge with max 40% b.v. anti
freeze (frost protection down to -27°C) can be left in the system during the summer months as well,
providing the cooling system is in good working order.
D At the beginning of the cold weather months the antifreeze content of the coolant may have be in in
creased for the outside temperatures to be expected (see mixing table).
Mixing table:
Prohibited mixture:
Coolants according to MAN 324 type SNF must not be mixed with coolants type N or type NF.
Ready-made antifreeze-water mixtures with at least 40% b.v. of an approved antifreeze agent in deionised
water are permitted.
18
Coolant
Caution:
An increased proportion of antifreeze agent leads to a temperature increase in the coolant
19
Coolant
Corrosion inhibitor
For certain applications, where the use of antifreeze agents is not mandatory (e.g. tropical climate), corro
sion inhibitors according to MAN 248 must be used.
Permitted anticorrosive agents for engine cooling systems complying with factory standard
MAN 248
MAN fuels, lubricants and coolants (approved products) can be found on the Internet at:
[Link]
or in the tables starting on page 49.
The product-specific application concentration can be found in the service products database on the Inter
net.
Prohibited mixture:
Anticorrosive agents according to MAN 248 must not be mixed with antifreeze agents or coolants
according to MAN 324!
When antifreeze agent according to MAN 324 is to be replaced with anticorrosive agent according to
MAN 248 or vice versa, the entire coolant is to be drained off. It is not necessary to flush the system.
