5.18 Fuel storage
Take all the necessary precautions to
ensure that stored fuel does not become
polluted with dirt, water or other
substances.
• Store fuel in black iron cans. Do not store it in
galvanized cans as the galvanization
treatment would react with the fuel and form
compounds that would spoil the injection
pump and injectors.
• Store fuel cans away from direct sunlight and
slightly tilted, so that any sediment inside is
eliminated through the outlet tube
• To make sludge and condensation water
easier to remove; there should be a discharge
plug C in the lowest point, on the opposite
side to the drain tube.
• If the fuel is not filtered from the storage can,
use a funnel with the fine gauge mesh over
the tracking fuel tank fill plug inlet when
fuelling.
• Plan your fuel purchases so that summer fuels are not kept for too long and used in the winter.
