Filling The Fuel Tank - Toro Greensmaster TriFlex 3400 Operator's Manual

Filling the Fuel Tank

•
Fuel tank capacity: 22.7 L (6 U.S. gallons)
•
Recommended Fuel:
– For best results, use only clean, fresh diesel
fuel or biodiesel fuels with low (<500 ppm)
or ultra low (<15 ppm) sulfur content. The
minimum cetane rating should be 40. Purchase
fuel in quantities that can be used within 180
days to ensure fuel freshness.
– Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D)
at temperatures above -7° C (20° F) and
winter-grade (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend)
below that temperature. Use of winter-grade
fuel at lower temperatures provides lower flash
point and cold flow characteristics which will
ease starting and reduce fuel filter plugging.
Note:
Use of summer-grade fuel above -7°
C (20° F) will contribute toward longer fuel
pump life and increased power compared to
winter-grade fuel.
– This machine can also use a biodiesel
blended fuel of up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80%
petrodiesel). The petrodiesel portion should be
low or ultra-low sulfur. Observe the following
precautions:
◊ The biodiesel portion of the fuel must meet
specification ASTM D6751 or EN14214.
◊ The blended fuel composition should meet
ASTM D975 or EN590.
◊ Painted surfaces may be damaged by
biodiesel blends.
◊ 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 your distributor if you wish for more
information on biodiesel.
Your fuel tank has a sight glass
gauge (Figure 20). Refer to these figures for this
procedure.

1. Clean around the fuel-tank cap and remove it.
2. Fill the tank until the level is 6 to 13 mm (1/4 to
1/2 inch) below the bottom of the filler neck.
Important:
Do not overfill the tank. Use
the sight glass or fuel gauge to check the
amount of fuel in the tank.
3. Install the cap.
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled.
