Some modification may be required to allow your engine to run Biodiesel Fuel. Consult your CASE CONSTRUCTION
Dealer for complete information on these modifications.
Biodiesel Fuel has a higher cloud point than Diesel Fuel.
ATTENTION: The use of high Biodiesel Fuel blends are not recommended in cold weather conditions.
With Biodiesel Fuels, it may be necessary to change the engine oil, engine oil filter and fuel filter elements more
frequently than with Diesel Fuels. Biodiesel Fuel can remove rust and particles from the inside of on-site fuel storage
tanks that would normally adhere to the sides of the tank. Like particle deposits that commonly occur with Diesel Fuel,
these particles can become trapped by the machine fuel filters, causing blockage and shortening filter life. In cold
weather, this is more likely to happen. Consult your CASE CONSTRUCTION Dealer for information on cold weather
operation and proper maintenance intervals when using any Biodiesel Fuel blend.
When handling Biodiesel Fuel, care must be taken not to allow water into the fuel supply. Biodiesel Fuel will actually
attract moisture from the atmosphere.
Fuel tanks must be kept as full as possible to limit the amount of air and water vapors in them. It may be necessary
to drain the fuel filter water tap more frequently.
Potential oxidation and stability could be a problem with the fuel stored in the machine.
ATTENTION: Machines must not be stored for more than three months with Biodiesel Fuel blends in the fuel system.
If long storage periods are necessary, the engine must run on Diesel Fuel for 20 hours to flush the Biodiesel Fuel out
of the engine fuel system prior to storage.
ATTENTION: Biodiesel Fuel must not be stored in on-site storage tanks for more than three months.
Any spillage of Biodiesel Fuel must be cleaned up immediately before it can cause damage to the environment and
the paint finish of the machine.
Before using Biodiesel Fuel blends you should consult with your CASE CONSTRUCTION Dealer to receive full infor-
mation about the approved blend for your machine and any detailed conditions of its usage.
ATTENTION: Be aware that not fulfilling the requirements and conditions of Biodiesel Fuel usage will void your ma-
chine's CASE CONSTRUCTION Warranty coverage.
