Fuel System Precautions
a. When priming or checking the fuel injection pump
timing, care must be taken to wipe spilled fuel from
the outside of the engine.
b. Always fit a new joint when a union has been
disturbed.
c. Special care must be taken to see that there is no
leakage from the joints of the fuel pipe connection
to the pump.
d. When tightening or loosening the fuel injection
pump delivery connections, use two spanners to
prevent the un-sealing of the fuel pump delivery valve
holders.
e. When refitting the fuel pipe from the pump to injector,
the connection to the injector must be tightened
before the connection to the fuel pump.
This procedure will ensure that there is no leakage
from these joints.
f. It is most important that all fuel joints are tight and
leak proof.
g. Always fill the fuel tank through a fine strainer,
preferably at the end of the engine work period.
If any sediment is stirred up during the process
this has time to settle before the engine is used
again, this will minimise the risk of condensation
contaminating the fuel.
If cans are used, avoid tipping out the last few drops.
h. Funnels are very difficult to keep clean in dusty
conditions.
Wash them before and after use and wrap them up
when not required, or fill the tank direct from a small
mouthed screw capped fuel can.
i. The fuel injection equipment is manufactured to
very accurate limits and the smallest particle of
dirt will destroy its efficiency. Fuel free from water
and contaminants is of the utmost importance.
Precautions for Oil, Filters and Elements
a. Used liquid filters and elements contain some of
the filtered liquid and should be handled and
disposed of with care.
b. After handling new or used elements the users
hands should be thoroughly washed, particularly
before eating.
c. Fuel and new or used lubricating oil may cause
skin irritation.
Contact with used lubricating oil can cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
d. The materials used in the manufacture and
treatment of some filters and elements may cause
irritation or discomfort if they come into contact
with the eyes or mouth and they may give off toxic
gasses if they are burnt.
e. Extreme care must be taken to ensure that waste
oil, filter elements, solvents or other toxic wastes
are disposed of in accordance with local regulations
to prevent contamination.
f. As a direct result of combustion the lubricating oil
may contain harmful acids and therefore it should
not be left in the sump if it is known that the engine
will not be used for extended periods.
