• Avoid spilling fuel.
Fuel expands when the fuel is warmed up. The fuel
may overflow from the fuel tank. Inspect fuel lines for
leaks. Repair the fuel lines, as needed.
• Be aware of the properties of the different fuels.
Use only the recommended fuels. Refer to the
Operations and Maintenance Manual, “Fuel
Recommendations” for further information.
• Avoid unnecessary idling.
• Shut off the engine rather than idle for long
periods of time.
• Observe the service indicator frequently. Keep the
air cleaner elements clean.
• Ensure that the turbocharger is operating correctly
so that the proper air/fuel ratio is maintained.
Clean exhaust indicates proper functioning.
• Maintain a good electrical system.
One faulty battery cell will overwork the alternator
and can consume excess power and excess fuel.
• Ensure that the belts are correctly adjusted. The
belts should be in good condition. Refer to the
Specifications manual for further information.
• Ensure that all the connections of the hoses are
tight. The connections should not leak.
• Ensure that the driven equipment is in good
working order.
• Cold engines consume excess fuel. Utilize heat
from the jacket water system and the exhaust
system, when possible. Keep cooling system
components clean and keep cooling system
components in good repair. Never operate the
engine without water temperature regulators. All
these items will help maintain operating
temperatures.
