Diesel Gas D2GOST 305-82
Russian-standard diesel fuel in summer, winter and arctic grades, for engines running in a wide range of climates. Supplied in bulk by rail and by sea under FOB, CIF, TTO, STS and VTV terms.
Three climate grades
Grade L Summer
For ambient temperatures of 0 °C and above. Cloud point of -5 °C max.
Grade Z Winter
For ambient temperatures down to -30 °C. Lower cloud and pour points for cold-weather operation.
Grade A Arctic
For ambient temperatures down to -50 °C. Lightest density and lowest viscosity.
Each grade is also split by sulphur content: Type I up to 0.2% m/m and Type II up to 0.5% m/m.
