Stationary fuel pumps
General
Only refuel from stationary fuel pumps. Fuel from barrels or cans is usually dirty.
Even the smallest particles of dirt can cause
• Increased engine wear
• Malfunctions in the fuel system and
• Reduced effectiveness of the fuel filters
Refuelling from barrels
If refuelling from barrels cannot be avoided, note the following points (see fig. 71):
• Barrels must neither be rolled nor tilted before refuelling
• Protect the suction pipe opening of the barrel pump with a fine-mesh screen
• Immerse it down to a max. 15 cm above the floor of the barrel
• Only fill the tank using refuelling aids (funnels or filler pipes) with integral microfilter
• Keep all refuelling containers clean at all times
