Fuel Specifications
General Fuel Information
Use only fuel as recommended in this section.
NOTICE
Fill the fuel tank at the end of each day of operation
to drive out moisture laden air and to prevent
condensation. Maintain a constant level near the
top of the day tank to avoid drawing moisture into
the tank as the level decreases. Do not fill the tank
to the top. Fuel expands as it gets warm and can
overflow.
Do not fill the fuel filters with fuel before installing
them. Contaminated fuel will cause accelerated
wear to the fuel system parts.
Drain the water and sediment from main fuel storage
tank before it is refilled. This will help prevent water
and/or sediment from being pumped from the fuel
storage tank into the engine fuel tank.
LP Specifications
LP is “Liquefied Petroleum Gas”. The exact composition
of LP varies slightly between different parts of the
country and different refineries.
HD5 is recommended for DOOSAN forklift trucks.
Remember LP is heavier than air and will sink to the
lowest spot possible. Avoid areas near floor drains or
lubrication pits where escaped fuel may collect.
Composition of HD5
Propane (C3H8) 90.0 %
Propylene up to 5 %
Butane (C4H10) 2.0 %
iso-Butane 1.5 %
Methane (CH4) 1.5 %
Total 100 %
