Servicing of the Engine
Your dealer is interested in your new engine and has the desire
to help you get the most value from it. After reading this manual
thoroughly, you will find that you can do some of its regular
maintenance yourself.
However, when in need of parts or major service, be sure to see
your Ingersoll---Rand dealership from which you purchased your
engine or your local Ingersoll---Rand dealer.
When in need of parts, be prepared to give your dealer the
engine serial number.
Locate the serial number now and record them in the space
provided.

Fuel Selection
The following properties are required of the diesel fuel.
Must be free from minute dust particles.
Must have adequate viscosity.
Must have high cetane value.
Must have high fluidity at low temperature.
Must have low sulphur content.
Must have little residual carbon.
It is strongly advisable to use ASTM D975 No. 2---D (the general
automotive diesel engine purpose diesel fuel) or equivalent
which fully meets the above requirements.

Fuel Requirements
NOTICE
The fuel injection pump, injector or other parts of the fuel
system and engine can be damaged if you use any fuel or fuel
additive other than those specifically recommended by
Ingersoll ---Rand.
NOTE
If any fuel other than the one specified is used, engine
operation will be impaired. Engine failure or malfunction
resulting from use of such improper fuel will not be warranted
by Ingersoll ---Rand.
To help avoid fuel system or engine damage, please read the
following:
Do not use diesel fuel which has been contaminated with engine
oil. Besides causing the engine damage, such fuel can also affect
emission control. Before using any diesel fuel, check with the fuel
supplier to see if the fuel has been mixed with engine oil.
Your engine is designed to use either No. 1---D or No. 2---D diesel
fuel. However, for better fuel economy, use No. 2---D diesel fuel
whenever possible. At temperatures less than ---7
˚
C, (20
˚
F), No.
2---D fuel may pose operating problems (refer to the
13.7. COULD WEATHER OPERATION
section of this manual). At
colder temperatures, use No. 1---D fuel (if available) or use a
“winterized” No. 2---D (a blend of No. 1---D and No. 2---D). This
blended fuel is usually called No. 2---D also, but can be used in
colder temperatures than No. 2---D fuel which has not been
“winterized”.
Check with the fuel supplier to be sure you get the properly
blended fuel.
NOTICE
Do not use home heating oil or gasoline in your diesel engine;
either may cause engine damage.
A. Handling Of The Fuel
Any fuel containing dust particles or water might cause engine
failure.
Therefore, the following must be observed.
Take care to protect the fuel from ingress of dust particles or water
when filling the fuel tank.
If refuelling is done from an oil drum directly, ensure that it has
been kept stationary to allow any dust, sediment or water to settle
at the bottom. Do not draw fuel direct from the bottom of the drum
to prevent pickup of any settled foreign material.
Always fully fill the fuel tank. Drain the sedimented particles in the
fuel tank frequently.
B. Water In Fuel
During refueling, it is possible for water (and other contaminants)
to be pumped into your fuel tank along with the diesel fuel. This
can happen if a fuel provider does not regularly inspect and clean
its fuel tanks, or receives contaminated fuel from its supplier(s).
To protect your engine from contaminated fuel, there is a fuel filter
system on the engine which allows you to drain excess water.
CAUTION
THE WATER/DIESEL FUEL MIXTURE IS FLAMMABLE, AND
COULD BE HOT. TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE, DO NOT TOUCH THE FUEL COMING
FROM THE DRAIN VALVE, AND DO NOT EXPOSE THE FUEL
TO OPEN FLAMES OR SPARKS.
Be sure you do not overfill the fuel tank. Heat (such as from the
engine) can cause the fuel to expand. If the tank is too full, fuel
