FUEL SAVING TIPS
To save fuel & oil in your tractor, the following things should always be kept in mind.
A) Air Cleaning System
1) Clean the air cleaner regularly so that dust does not settle down.
2) For every 50 hours & everyday in sandy/
(a) Clean the air cleaner filter element with compressed air.
(b) If the rubber ring is cut or expanded then change it with an appropriate one.
Fix the rubber at the proper location & check for leakages if any.
(c) If air is leaking through the hose connection, check & rectify other leakages, too.
Note: If the air cleaning system is not properly maintained, it will lead to the early wear of piston rings
& sleeves.
This will lead to problems like the loss of engine power, excessive oil and/or
consumption fuel consumption.
B) Engine
1) Put the engine oil on load after the engine is heated & the water temperature gauge indicates
the needle to be in the green zone.
2) If excessive black smoke is visible, then the paper element of the air cleaner, fuel injection
pump or nozzles should be checked.
3) Do not run the engine without load for more than 2 minutes.
It is better to stop the engine rather than run it idle.
This will help in save fuel.
C) Brakes.
1) Do not over ride the clutch or brake pedals.
2) While coming down from a slope, reduce the engine throttle & use low gear.
Do not depend only on the brakes for stoppage.
D) Fuel system
1) Always use filtered diesel for the fuel system
2) At the end of the day’s working, it is preferable to fill the diesel tank so that it may prevent
condensation.
3) Change the filter if the system gets choked.
Do not change both the filters at the same time.
If the above directives are not adhered to, the fuel injection pump & injection nozzle will lose
their life early.
Also, it will lead to excessive black smoke & excessive diesel consumption.
