Foreword
Clauses 4, 6 and 8 of this standard are mandatory and the rest are
recommended.
This standard was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This standard replaces GB 252-2011 “General diesel fuels”. As compared with
GB 252-2011, the main changes of this standard are as follows.
- ADD clause 4.1 additives used in general diesel fuel shall have no known
harmful effects and shall be used in accordance with the recommended
appropriate dosage. General diesel fuel shall not contain any additives or
contaminants that can cause the engine to malfunction (see 4.1).
- MODIFY the second paragraph of the Scope to. This standard applies to
petroleum-based or additive-added additives general diesel fuel used in
compression ignition engines such as tractors, diesel locomotives,
construction machinery, inland vessels and generator sets (see clause 1).
- DELETE clause 3 Terms and definitions (see clause 3 of the 2011 version);
- DELETE the relevant content of No.10 general diesel fuel (see Table 1);
- MODIFY the limit of sulfur content index in general diesel fuel (see Table 1);
- ADD the technical requirements for general diesel lubricity and fatty acid
methyl ester content (see Table 1);
- MODIFY clause 5 into “Sampling”, with content is modified accordingly (see
clause 5; clause 6 of the 2011 version);
- MODIFY clause 7.1 to. “6.1 The equipment used for general diesel fuel sold
to the user in accordance with Table 1 of this standard shall clearly indicate
the grade and name of the product. Example. No.0 general diesel fuel (see
6.1; clause 7.1 of 2011 version);
- ADD clause 8. Implementation of standard (see clause 8).
This standard shall be under the jurisdiction of the National Petroleum Products
and Lubricants Standardization Technical Committee (SAC/TC 280).
The drafting organization of this standard. Petrochemical Research Institute of
China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation.
The main drafter of this standard. Ni Bei.
This standard replaces the standard previously issued as follows.
General diesel fuels
Warning. If the appropriate precautions are not observed, the products
covered by this standard may be dangerous during production, storage
and use. This standard is not intended to advise on all safety issues
related to this product. It is the responsibility of the user to establish
appropriate safety and precautions before using this standard and to
determine the applicability of the relevant regulatory restrictions.
1 Scope
This standard specifies the product classification, technical requirements and
test methods, sampling and marking, packaging, transportation and storage,
safety and standard implementation of general diesel fuels.
This standard applies to petroleum-based or additive-added additives general
diesel fuel used in compression ignition engines such as tractors, diesel
locomotives, construction machinery, inland vessels and generator sets
Note. Other special uses besides this may be negotiated between the supplier
and the purchaser.

3 Product categories
General diesel fuel is divided into six grades in accordance with the freezing
point.
- No.5 general diesel fuel. Applicable to areas where the minimum
temperature with a risk ratio of 10% is above 8 °C;
- No.0 general diesel fuel. Applicable to areas where the minimum
temperature with a risk ratio of 10% is above 4 °C;
- No.-10 general diesel fuel. Applicable to areas where the minimum
temperature with a risk ratio of 10% is above -5°C;
- No.-20 general diesel fuel. Applicable to areas where the minimum
temperature with a risk ratio of 10% is above -14 °C;
- No.-35 general diesel fuel. Applicable to areas where the minimum
temperature with a risk ratio of 10% is above -29 °C;
- No.-50 general diesel fuel. Applicable to areas where the minimum
temperature with a risk ratio of 10% is above -44 °C.
Note. See Appendix A for the use of diesels of different grades.

result is controversial, the SH/T 0689 method shall prevail.
b If general diesel fuel contains a nitrate type cetane number improver, the determination of 10% steam
residue carbon residue is carried out using a base fuel without nitrate. See Appendix B for the test
method for whether or not the diesel ester type cetane number improver is contained in the diesel fuel.
It can be measured by the method of GB/T 17144. When the results are controversial, the GB/T 268
method shall prevail.
