fuel tank, at the crossover line connection.
They are optional on the primary fuel tank.
Specification

engine manufacturers.
WARNING
Diesel fuel in the presence of an igni-
tion source could cause an explosion.
A mixture of gasoline or alcohol with
diesel fuel increases this risk of explo-
sion. DO NOT remove a fuel tank cap

sult in death, personal injury, equip-
ment or property damage.

gasoline by adding diesel fuel (see
Warning above).
