2-2 Preparation before operation
2-2.1 Fuel choices and fuel treatment
Air filter element
Do not wash the air filter. The
element is made of dry material,
which does not permit washing.
When the output of the diesel
engine is bad or the color of the
exhaust gas is abnormal, replace the
air filter element. Never start the
diesel engine without the air filter.
Fuel tank
Use only light diesel fuel. The fuel
should be filtered clean. Never let
dust and water mix with fuel in the
fuel tank. Otherwise it will clog the
fuel lines and oil nozzles. It may also
damage your pressure pump.
Note: It is dangerous to overfill the
fuel tank. Never exceed the red piston
in the filter.
a. After purchasing fuel, put it
into a drum and let it sit for 3-
4 days.
b. 3-4 days later, insert half of
the fuel sucker into the drum,
(water and impurities stay in
the lower portion of the
drum)
Note:
Never smoke near the opening of
the fuel tank. Do not let sparks get
near the fuel or fuel tank and do not
overfill tank. After filling, tighten
the fuel cap.
