EN590 Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel

EN590 is the European standard for automotive diesel fuel, often referred to as Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) because of its low sulfur content. It specifies the physical and chemical properties that diesel fuel must meet to be used in vehicles within the European Union. The key characteristic is the low sulfur content, typically 10 parts per million (ppm) or less. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• Standard: EN590 is the European Standard for automotive diesel fuel, ensuring it meets specific quality and performance requirements.

• Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD): EN590 fuel is also known as ULSD due to its very low sulfur content, which is essential for modern diesel engines and to meet environmental regulations

• European Union: EN590 is the standard for all automotive diesel fuel sold in the European Union.

• Low Sulfur Content: The most important aspect of EN590 is the low sulfur content, which helps reduce harmful emissions and is a requirement for newer diesel engines.

• Other Regions: While EN590 is primarily a European standard, it is also used in other regions that have adopted similar emission standards.

• Impact on Engines: The lower sulfur content in EN590 is crucial for the proper functioning of modern diesel engines and related emissions control systems
