13. Fuelling

The fuel level in the tank is indicated in the sight glass.
Do not fill the tank completely, leave an area of at least 2.5 cm (1").
Fill the fuel tank with diesel. Do not use petrol under
any circumstances.
Use fuel with a cetane rating of above 45. Max RME
mixture 5 % in mineral oil based fuels. Aviation kerosene
(JP5, JP8 and Jet-A) can be used if lubricant additives
are used, but the starting ability may be affected. JP4 is
not recommended. Unmixed RME can be used.
Tank with level window
Do not smoke when filling the tank with fuel.
Diesel is less flammable than petrol at normal temperatures, but becomes very flammable if heated to the flash
point. This varies depending on the type of diesel but is normally higher than +50 °C (120 °F).
Observe fuel hygiene. The diesel engine's fuel injection system is very sensitive and can be damaged by
contaminants, which may be so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye. Only use clean containers
(closed + dust-free funnel). Wipe away any dust before removing the fuel tank filler cap. There is a filter to protect
the fuel injection system, however if it becomes blocked operational malfunctions may occur. Rectifying damage,
operational malfunctions, filter replacement caused by poor hygiene are not repairs that are covered under warranty
Remember the environmental risks. See "Environment protection" on page 26.
Wipe up any spillages. Material that has been contaminated by fuel must be moved to a safe place.
If you spill fuel on your clothes, change to prevent skin irritations.
