Fuel Saving Tips For Optimum Performance - New Holland Workmaster 50 Operator's Manual

Refueling the Tractor
The fuel tank filler cap (1) is located at the rear of the front
hood. Before removing the cap, wipe all dust and dirt from
around the cap to prevent debris from falling into the tank
while filling.
Use an approved fuel container and check the inside of
the container periodically for cleanliness. Fuel tank ca-
pacity is 51 l (13.5 US gal)
NOTICE: The fuel cap is a vented-type. Use only an ap-
proved NEW HOLLAND replacement cap to prevent fuel
system-related problems.
If there is no filter on the storage tank or fuel container,
filter the fuel through a 100-mesh or finer screen when fill-
ing the tractor fuel tank. Keep the tractor tank as full as
possible (without filling to capacity) to minimize conden-
sation.
NOTICE: It is a good practice to fill the fuel tank at the end
of each day, as this will reduce overnight condensation.
Fuel storage
Take the following precautions to ensure that the stored
fuel is kept free of dirt, water and other contaminants.
1. Store the fuel in black iron tanks, not galvanized tanks,
as the zinc coating will react with the fuel and form
compounds that will contaminate the injection pump
and injectors.
2. Install bulk storage tanks away from direct sunlight.
3. Keep the tank slightly tilted so that the sediments will
settle away from the outlet pipe. To facilitate moisture
and sediment removal provide a drain plug at the low-
est point at the end opposite the outlet pipe.
4. If fuel is not filtered from the storage tank, put a funnel
with a fine mesh screen in the fuel tank filler neck when
refuelling.
5. Arrange fuel purchase so summer grade fuels are not
held over & used in winter.
