FUEL
Fuel is flammable and can be dangerous. You should
handle fuel with care.
To avoid personal injury:
A
Do not mix gasoline or alcohol with diesel fuel.
This mixture can cause an explosion.
A
Be careful not to spill fuel during refueling. If
fuel should spill, wipe it off at once, or it may
cause a fire.
A
Do not fail to stop the engine before refueling.
Keep the engine away from the fire.
A
Be sure to stop the engine while refueling or
bleeding and when cleaning or changing fuel
filter or fuel pipes. Do not smoke when working
around the battery or when refueling.
A
Check the above fuel systems at a well
ventilated and wide place.
A
When fuel and lubricant are spilled, refuel after
letting the engine cool off.
A
Always keep spilled fuel and lubricant away
from engine.
B
Fuel level check and refueling
1. Check to see that the fuel level is above the lower limit
of the fuel level gauge.
2. If the fuel is too low, add fuel to the upper limit. Do not
overfill.
No.2-D is a distillate fuel oil of lower volatility for engines
in industrial and heavy mobile service.
(SAE J313 JUN87)
Grade of Diesel Fuel Oil According to ASTM D975
The cetane number is required not less than 45.
A
Be sure to use a strainer when filling the fuel tank, or
dirt or sand in the fuel may cause trouble in the fuel
injection pump.
A
For fuel, always use diesel fuel. You are required not
to use alternative fuel, because its quality is unknown
or it may be inferior in quality. Kerosene, which is very
low in cetane rating, adversely affects the engine.
Diesel fuel differs in grades depending on the
temperature.
A
Be careful not to let the fuel tank become empty, or air
can enter the fuel system, necessitating bleeding
before next engine start.
B
Air bleeding the fuel system
To avoid personal injury;
A
Do not bleed a hot engine as this could cause
fuel to spill onto a hot exhaust manifold
creating a danger of fire.
Air bleeding of the fuel system is required if;
A
after the fuel filter and pipes have been detached and
refitted;
A
after the fuel tank has become empty; or
A
before the engine is to be used after a long storage.
