FUEL

Fuel is flammable and can be dangerous. You should
handle fuel with care.
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 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 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.
