    This document provides training information on calculating API gravity of fuel and its impact on engine performance. It discusses how fuel quality, specifically API gravity, affects horsepower output. Lower API gravity fuels produce more horsepower while higher API fuels produce less. The document walks through an example API gravity calculation including correction factors for temperature and pressure. It determines the example fuel results in a 1.4% loss of horsepower.

    Fuel quality can significantly affect the performance and
    maintenance of any diesel engine.
    It is important to understand basic fuel properties to be
    able to judge fuel quality.
    The following have an impact on the operation of diesel
    engine and its fuel handling and treatment systems
