• Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends
in cold weather.
• Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel as
they may be degraded over time.
• Fuel filter plugging may be expected for a time after
converting to biodiesel blends.
• Contact a distributor for more information on

extremely dusty and dirty; refer to Cleaning the Engine
Cooling System.

The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of
water and permanent ethylene glycol anti-freeze. Check
the coolant level at the beginning of each day before
starting the engine.
The capacity of the cooling system is approximately
6 qt (5.7 l).
If the engine has been running, the pressurized,
hot coolant can escape and cause burns.
• Do not open the radiator cap when the
engine is running.
• Use a rag when opening the radiator cap,
and open the cap slowly to allow steam to
escape.
1. Check the coolant level in the expansion tank
(Figure 36).
