Fuel System
Maintenance
Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A
fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and
others and can cause property damage.
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors,
in an open area, when the engine is off and
is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
fuel to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4 to
1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) below the bottom of
the filler neck. This empty space in the tank
allows the fuel to expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay
away from an open flame or where fuel
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved
container and keep the cap in place.
Checking the Fuel Lines and
Connections
Service Interval: Every 400 hours—Check the fuel lines
and connections for deterioration,
damage, or loose connections.
Draining Water from the Water
Separator
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
1. Locate the fuel filter and place a clean container
under it.
2. Loosen drain valve on bottom of filter canister and
allow the contents to drain (Figure 47).
