Fuel
Fuel is flammable and can be dangerous. You should
handle fuel with care.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury:
8
DO NOT mix gasoline or alcohol
with diesel fuel. This mixture
can cause an explosion.
8
Be careful not to spill fuel
during refueling. If fuel should
spill, wipe it off at once, or it
may cause a fire.
8
Stop
the
engine
before
refueling. Keep the machine
away from fire.
8
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
machine or when refueling.
8
Check the above fuel systems
in a well ventilated and open
place.
8
When fuel and lubricant are
spilled, refuel after the machine
cooled down.
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.
(1) Fuel level gauge
No.2-D is a distillate fuel oil of lower volatility for
engines in industrial and heavy mobile service.

The cetane number is required not to be less than 45.
NOTICE
8
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.
8
Always
use
diesel
fuel.
You are required not to use
alternative fuel, because its
quality is unknown and affect
the generator performance.
Kerosene, which is very low in
cetane rating, adversely affects
the engine. Diesel fuel differs
in grades depending on the
temperature.
8
Be careful not to let the fuel tank
become empty, or air can enter
the fuel system, necessitating
bleeding before next engine
start.
