Diesel EN590 10 PPM refers to a specific grade of diesel fuel that meets the European standard EN590 with a maximum sulfur content of 10 parts per million (PPM). EN590 is the standard specification for automotive diesel fuel in Europe and sets requirements for various fuel properties to ensure compatibility with modern diesel engines.

The “10 PPM” specification means that the fuel must contain no more than 10 parts of sulfur per million parts of diesel fuel by weight. This is a low-sulfur diesel fuel, which is cleaner and more environmentally friendly compared to higher sulfur content fuels.

Low-sulfur diesel fuels like EN590 10 PPM are commonly used in diesel vehicles equipped with advanced emission control systems, such as catalytic converters and particulate filters. These fuels help reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and particulate matter, which are known to contribute to air pollution and negative health effects.

It’s worth noting that fuel specifications may vary across different regions and countries, so the exact requirements for diesel fuel can differ depending on the location. However, EN590 is widely adopted as the standard in many European countries.
