FUEL SYSTEM
{
• If a fuel supply shutoff valve is fitted do not use a
taper tap, only use a ball valve tap. The ball valve type
are more reliable and less likely to let air into the fuel
system.
• Be sure to use a strainer when filling the fuel tank.
Dirt or sand in the fuel may cause trouble in the fuel
injection pump.
• Always use diesel fuel.
Do not use paraffin/
kerosene
, as this has a low cetane rating and
adversely affects the engine.
• Biodiesel fuel can be added to the normal diesel fuel
up to a maximum limit of 7% without affecting the
warranty.
• Most diesel fuels now contain up to a maximum limit
of 7% Biodiesel and this does not affect the engine
warranty. The recent changes to fuel specifications
allow the addition of FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)
Biodiesel EN14214:2009, to diesel fuel, but please be
aware that Biodiesel does allow bacteria to grow more
easily in the fuel and this can clog your fuel tank, pipes
and filters. If you experience an outbreak of bacterial
growth you can either empty and clean out your fuel
pipes and tank, or use biocide additives and filtering.
• Low sulphur diesel fuel - regulations changed recently
reducing the sulphur content by 99%, in many
countries. The European standard is EN590:2009, and
in the USA ASTM D975-09. The engine is designed to
run on low sulphur fuel, and this is now preferred.
• If you use a higher percentage of Biodiesel fuel you
must fit an electric lift pump into the fuel supply line,
and the fuel filter and oil filter must both be changed
together when the oil filter is normally replaced.
• Be careful not to let the fuel tank become empty, or
air can enter the fuel system, necessitating bleeding
before next engine start.
• The engine mechanical fuel lift pump will only lift fuel
through 0.25m. If this is insufficient then an electric
fuel lift pump must be fitted.
IMPORTANT!
Beta Marine warranty will not cover fuel
equipment when more than 7% Biodiesel is
used.
WARNING!
Always fit a fuel/water separator in the fuel
supply system. Water in the fuel can seriously
damage the injection system
.
