Some installations using a "shared" fuel tank may
have a generator fuel pickup tube that is shorter
than the vehicle's engine pickup tube. Such an
arrangement causes the generator engine to "run
out of fuel", while adequate fuel for the vehicle
engine remains in the tank.
Also, appropriate care should be taken in applica-
tions where extremely low ambient temperatures
are possible, to ensure the temperature of the die-
sel fuel is not allowed to fall below levels where
"gelling" could occur.

ENGINE OIL REQUIREMENTS
Use a high-quality detergent oil with American
Petroleum Institute (API) classification "For Service
CC." Detergent oils keep the engine cleaner and
reduce carbon deposits. Use oil having the following
SAE viscosity rating, based on the ambient tempera-
ture range anticipated before the next oil change:
Temperature
Above 100° F (38° C)
40° to 100° F (4.4° to 38° C)
Below 40° F (4.4° C)
Crankcase and oil filter capacity is approximately
4.35L or 4.6 U.S. quarts. Do NOT use special
additives. See "Checking the Engine Oil Level" and
"Changing the Engine Oil and/or Filter" sections for
oil level checking and changing procedures.
1.5.4
COOLANT
Use a 50:50 mixture that is half low silicate, ethylene
glycol base antifreeze and half soft water. Use only
soft water and only low silicate antifreeze. If desired,
a high-quality rust inhibitor to the recommended
coolant mixture may be added. When adding coolant,
always add the recommended 50-50 mixture.
DANGER
Do not remove the radiator pressure cap while
the engine is hot; otherwise, serious burns from
boiling liquid or steam could result.

Ethylene glycol base antifreeze is poisonous.
Do not use mouth to siphon coolant from the
radiator, recovery bottle, or any container. Wash
hands thoroughly after handling. Never store
used antifreeze in an open container because
animals are attracted to the smell and taste of
antifreeze, even though it is poisonous to them.
Do not use any chromate base rust inhibitor
with ethylene glycol base antifreeze; or else,
chromium hydroxide ("green slime") will form
and cause overheating. Engines that have been
operated with a chromate base rust inhibitor
must be chemically cleaned before adding eth-
ylene glycol base antifreeze. Using any high-
silicate antifreeze boosters or additives will also

cause overheating. DO NOT use any soluble oil
inhibitor for this equipment.
