Refuelling
WARNING!
All work involving fuel carries an increased risk of fire and poisoning!
☞
Do not refuel in enclosed areas
☞
Never perform work on the fuel system in the vicinity of naked flames or
sparks
Environment!
Use a suitable container to collect the fuel as it drains and dispose of it in an environmen-
tally friendly manner!
NOTE:
Do not run the fuel tank completely dry. Otherwise, air is drawn into the fuel sys-
tem. This requires bleeding the fuel system – see section 5.2.6 Bleeding the fuel
system on page 5-6.
Stationary fuel tanks
General
If possible, only refuel from stationary fuel tanks. Fuel from barrels or cans is usually con-
taminated.
Even the smallest particles of dirt can cause
•
Increased engine wear
•
Malfunctions in the fuel system and
•
Reduced effectiveness of the fuel filters
Refuelling from barrels
If refuelling from barrels cannot be avoided, note the following points (see figure 130):
•
Barrels should neither be rolled nor tilted before refuelling
•
Protect the suction pipe opening of the barrel pump with a fine-mesh strainer
•
Immerse it down to max. 6 in (15 cm) above the bottom of the barrel
•
Only fill the tank using refuelling aids (funnels or filler pipes) with an integral microfilter
•
Keep all refuelling containers clean at all times
