See the Chassis Operator's Manual in the Owner's Infol'lna-
tion Package for chassis fuel recommendations. The generator
is desigued to run on LP gas. Consult the generator operating
instructions for special cautions about maintenance with
different types offuels.
The fuel fill is located on the right side of the motor home just
behind the fi'ont wheels. Modern fuel systems may build up
vapor pressure within the tank as the fuel warms during use or
hot weather.
Replace lost or damaged fuel fill caps with caps of the same
design which are available from your Fleetwood motor home
dealer.
Clean up fuel spills immediately. Fuel spilled on the motor
home could damage the exterior finish, and is a serious fire
hazard.
Cummins, the engine manufacturer, recommends the use of
ASTM No.2 diesel fuel. At operating temperatures below 32
degrees, acceptable performance can be obtained by using
blends of No.2 and No. I diesel fuels. The use of lighter fuels
can reduce fuel economy.
Also, you should be familiar with the "summer" and "winter"
diesel fuel bleuds formulated specifically for hot aud cold
climates. If you have a "summer" blend fuel in a cold climate,
additives can be added to the fuel tank to "winterize" the fuel.
The fuel- water separator must be checked daily and drained if
necessary. See the Maintenance section for fuel-water separa-
tor draiuing procedures in the Chassis Operator's Manual.
