FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system includes a tank, filters and injection equipment. Cleanli-
ness of diesel fuel will determine the service life of the fuel injection equip-
ment. Water and abrasives, allowed to reach the precision injection mecha-
nism, will cause rapid wear and poor performance.
Clean fuel, regular servicing of fuel filtering components and water drain-
ing are requirements for long service life.
NOTE:
Servicing of the injection pump and nozzles requires specialized
equipment, gauges and tools. Work of this type must always be done by your
Authorized Case Dealer.
Fuel Conditioner
Case diesel fuel conditioner is available at your Authorized Case Dealer.
When used as directed the fuel conditioner will aid in preventing gummy
deposits in the fuel system and fouling of injector nozzles, valves and mani-
folds. It also provides upper cylinder lubrication and maintains a higher degree
of fuel combustion which results in improved engine performance. The fuel
conditioner also helps keep condensation suspended in the fuel, allowing it to
be burned with the fuel.
In areas troubled with gum or varnish in diesel fuel, it is recommended that
conditioner be added to fuel in the storage tank, or a small amount be added
daily to the fuel tank.
Draining Water from System
Every 10 hours or daily, check for water in the fuel transfer pump bowl. If
water is present, it must be drained from (1) the transfer pump bowl, (2) the first
stage fuel filter and (3) the fuel tank water trap.
