Servicing the Air Cleaner (continued)
Fuel System Maintenance
This Operator's Manual contains more detailed fuel and fuel system maintenance
information than the engine Owner's Manual, which is a general-purpose reference relating
to fuel and fuel maintenance.
Ensure that you understand that the fuel system maintenance, fuel storage, and fuel quality
require your attention to avoid downtime and extensive engine repairs.
The fuel system has extremely tight tolerances due to the emissions and control
requirements. Diesel fuel quality and cleanliness is more important for the longevity of
today's high-pressure common rail (HPCR) fuel-injection system used on diesel engines.
Water or air in the fuel system will damage your engine! Do not assume that new fuel
is clean. Ensure that your fuel is from a quality supplier, store your fuel correctly, and
use your fuel supply within 180 days.
