2.5 FUELING THE VEHICLE
Gasoline is extremely flammable and can explode
under certain conditions. Do not add fuel while the
engine is running or hot. If fuel is spilled in, on or
around the vehicle, wipe it up immediately. Flush out
any fuel spilled in the vehicle with water and allow
it to drain out through the drain plug holes. Do not
smoke when filling the fuel tank.
Use clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline in all models of the ARGO.
Minimum 87 octane fuel is recommended.
Leaded gasoline can be used as a substitute fuel. However, if
leaded gasoline is used, the engine will require more frequent
servicing.
Never use gasoline containing methanol or white gas since
engine or fuel system damage could occur.
All Argo models are equipped with a 27 litre (5.9 Imp. Gal,
7.1 U.S. Gal.) "see-thru" polyethelene fuel tank located under
the driver's seat. Depending on loading and driving condi-
tions, an ARGO can be driven for 7 to 12 hours on one tank
of fuel. Verify your vehicle’s actual fuel consumption
before
attempting any long trips. Never travel in remote areas or set
out on long trips
without
a full tank of fuel and adequate spare
fuel stored in approved watertight fuel containers.
The fuel filler neck and fuel cap are located on the right side
of the vehicle behind the driver’s seat. Replace the fuel cap
if fuel leakage occurs, or if moisture is detected in the fuel.
Never fill the tank to the point where the fuel level rises into
the filler neck. If the tank is overfilled, heat may cause the
fuel to expand and overflow through the vent.
Portable fuel containers may contain contaminants (dirt, water,
etc.) that will cause engine operating problems. Use only
clean, approved gasoline containers.
After filling the fuel tank, be sure the fuel cap is replaced
securely. Do not drive the vehicle unless the fuel cap is
properly in place.
Never use untreated gasoline that has been stored
for more than 45 days. Stale gasoline can cause
deposits to form in the fuel lines and carburetor or injec-
tors (EFI). These deposits clog the fuel system and cause
engine starting and operating problems.
When storing the ARGO for 45 days or more, use
ARGO Part No. 130-107 Fuel Stabilizer to treat fuel
in the fuel tank and fuel containers.
2.6 VENTED FUEL SYSTEM - ALL MODELS
All ARGO models have fuel systems that are vented through
a special hose connected to the filler neck assembly that runs
along the upper body through a rollover valve towards the
engine.
When installing the Convertible Top Kit; Since the fuel
vent hose runs along the under side of the upper body,
care must be taken when drilling mounting holes. The
fuel vent hose could be pierced during the drilling pro-
cess, resulting in a dangerous fuel leak into the vehicle
and a costly repair procedure.
Never use gasoline or other harsh solvents to clean the
Argo body. All Camouflage material is especially vulner -
able to damage and peeling if it comes into contact with
gasoline. Take precautionary action when refueling to
protect the body from any such occurrences.
2.7 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
All Frontiers are equipped with an LCD instrument cluster.
Figure 2-1.
The LCD cluster displays battery voltage, hour meter, odom-
eter, speedometer and tachometer. There are indicator lights
for low oil pressure, diagnostic light and headlights.
Gauges can be calibrated in km or miles both in speed and
distance.
