Checking Water Separator - Kubota ZD1600 Series Operator's Manual

DAILY CHECK
Check the fuel level. Take care that the fuel tank does
not become empty.
Fuel tank capacity
IMPORTANT :
• Use diesel fuel only
1. Use No.2 diesel fuel.
2. Use No.1 diesel fuel if the temperature is below
-10 ℃ (14 ℉).
3. Always use a strainer when refueling to prevent fuel
injection pump contamination.
IMPORTANT :
• Do not permit dirt or trash or water to get into
the fuel system.
• Be careful not to empty the fuel tank otherwise
air will enter the fuel system, necessitating
bleeding before next engine start.
• Be careful not to spill fuel during refueling. If a
spill should occur, wipe it off at once, or it may
cause a fire. Avoid generating any sparks, static
or otherwise, during fueling.
• To prevent condensation (water accumulation)
in the fuel tank, fill the tank before parking
overnight.
• When refueling, basically fill both fuel tanks full.
• In the case you have a small amount of fuel, if
fuel is still in the fuel tank RH, fill the fuel tank
LH first.
• The fuel gauge shows the fuel level of fuel tank
RH. When the fuel gauge flashes, fill fuel as
soon as possible.
• When the fuel gauge flashes, do not fill fuel on a
slope. Air can get into the fuel system, causing
the engine to stall.
• If the engine stalled with some remaining in the
fuel tank RH, close the fuel valve of fuel tank LH
and you can operate.
