This standard applies to four types of automotive (on-road) diesel fuel, Type A-LS, Type A-ULS, Type B-LS and Type B-ULS, suitable for use in high-speed diesel engines that require low-sulphur diesel fuel to meet emission control regulations.

All types of this fuel can be used in all high-speed diesel-powered equipment.

Types A-LS and A-ULS are intended for use in selected applications or when ambient temperatures require better low-temperature properties than Types B-LS and B-ULS have.

Types B-LS and B-ULS are intended for use in diesel engine applications.

The testing and evaluation of a product against this standard may require the use of materials and/or equipment that could be hazardous. This document does not purport to address all the safety aspects associated with its use. Anyone using this standard has the responsibility to consult the appropriate authorities and to establish appropriate health and safety practices in conjunction with any applicable regulatory requirements prior to its use.
