Fuelling - Volvo 9700 Manual

Fuelling

Fuelling
The bus' tanks for fuel and AdBlue must
be refilled on a regular basis. Make it a
good habit to always use a refuelling
stop to perform a quick check of the bus.
Refuelling with diesel
Always refuel fully! Refuel after the day's
driving in order to avoid condensation in
the fuel tank due to temperature
differences.
NOTE
Exercise the utmost cleanliness when
handling diesel fuel. Be careful to filter the
fuel from the external tank or drum and
ensure that all containers are clean.

Filling with AdBlue
WARNING
If filling AdBlue from a canister or pump
without a stop function it is important not to
overfill the tank. Pay attention to the
amount of AdBlue that is poured into the
tank in order to avoid the risk of overfilling.
If the tank is overfilled then AdBlue may
leak out through the air vent pipe.
If the tank is overfilled and the fluid in it
freezes (temperature below -11 °C) then
the tank and hoses can be permanently
damaged.
1 Overfilled.
2 Max level.
3 Min level.
Measures after spillage
NOTE
AdBlue spillage must not be allowed to
enter the normal drainage system.
• AdBlue is not classed as being
hazardous to the environment but
should still be handled with care.
• In the event of contact with the skin –
rinse with plenty of water and remove
contaminated clothing.
• In the event of contact with the eyes
– rinse thoroughly for several
minutes. Seek medical attention if
necessary.
• If inhaled – breathe fresh air and call
for medical help if necessary.
• Do not allow AdBlue to come into
contact with other chemicals.
• AdBlue is not flammable. If AdBlue is
exposed to high temperatures, it will
be reduced to ammonia and carbon
dioxide.
• If AdBlue is spilled on the bus, wipe
off the excess and rinse with water.
AdBlue is corrosive with metals such
as copper and aluminium. It can also
cause damage to alloys such as
brass.
