PERIODIC SERVICE

FUEL

Fuel is flammable and can be dangerous. You should
handle fuel with care.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
A Do not mix gasoline or alcohol with
diesel fuel. This mixture can cause
an explosion.
A Be careful not to spill fuel during
refueling. If fuel should spill, wipe it
off at once, or it may cause a fire.
A Do not fail to stop the engine before
refueling. Keep the engine away
from the fire.
A Be sure to stop the engine while
refueling or bleeding and when
cleaning or changing fuel filter or
fuel pipes. Do not smoke when
working around the battery or when
refueling.
A Check the above fuel systems at a
well ventilated and wide place.
A When fuel and lubricant are spilled,
refuel after letting the engine cool
off.
A Always keep
lubricant away from engine.
BFuel level check and refueling
1. Check to see that the fuel level is above the lower
limit of the fuel level gauge.
2. If the fuel is too low, add fuel to the upper limit. Do
not overfill.
No.2-D is a distillate fuel oil of lower volatility for engines
in industrial and heavy mobile service.

The cetane number is required not to be less than 45.
A Be sure to use a strainer when filling the fuel tank, or
dirt or sand in the fuel may cause trouble in the fuel
injection pump.
A For fuel, always use diesel fuel. You are required not
to use alternative fuel, because its quality is
unknown or it may be inferior in quality. Kerosene,
which is very low in cetane rating, adversely affects
the engine. Diesel fuel differs in grades depending
on the temperature.
A Be careful not to let the fuel tank become empty, or
air can enter the fuel system, necessitating bleeding
before next engine start.
