Always observe the used oil as it is removed. A yellow/brown emulsion colour indicates the presence of water in the oil.
Although this condition is rare, it does require prompt attention to prevent serious damage. Call a qualified mechanic should
water be present in the oil. Raw water present in the oil can be the result of a fault in the exhaust system attached to the
engine and/or a siphoning of raw water through the raw water cooling circuit into the exhaust, filling the engine. This
problem is often caused by the absence of an anti-siphon valve, its poor location or lack of maintenance.
CAUTION
:
used engine oil contains harmful contaminants.
Avoid prolonged skin contact. Clean skin and
nails thoroughly using soap and water. Launder
or discard clothing or rags containing used oil.
Discard used oil properly.
ADDING NEW OIL
Add new oil through the oil filler.
After refilling with new oil, run the engine for a few
moments. Make sure there is no leakage around the
manual oil pump, then stop the engine. Then check the
quantity of oil with the lube oil dipstick. Fill to, but not
over the full mark on the dipstick, should the engine
require additional oil.
9. FUEL SYSTEM
DIESEL FUEL
Please refer to the engine manufacturer manual for any information.
FUEL ADDITIVES
If fungus or bacteria is causing fuel problems, you should have an authorized dealer correct these problems. Then use a
diesel fuel biocide to sterilize the fuel (follow the manufacturer's instruction).
CARE OF THE FUEL SUPPLY
Use only clean diesel fuel! Purchase a well-known brand of fuel. The clearance of the components in your fuel injection pump
is very critical; invisible dirt particles which might pass through the filter can damage these finely finished parts. It is
important to buy clean fuel and keep it clean. The best fuel can become unsatisfactory by careless handling or improper
storage facilities. To assure that the fuel going to your engine is clean and pure, be sure to filter it properly. Use a good
fuel/water separator having a filter element.
FUEL LIFT PUMP
Periodically check the fuel connections to and out of the pump and make sure that no leakage is present and that the fittings
are tight and secure.

WARNING
:
fuel leakage at the fuel pump or its connections
is a fire hazard and should be corrected. Make
sure proper ventilation exist whenever servicing
fuel system components.
FUEL FILTER
The frequency of a fuel filter change depends on the degree of contamination of the fuel, however it should be performed
according the engine manufacturer manual.
