Fuel Tank
The fuel level is indicated on the digital display fuel
gauge. Use only ULSD (ultra low sulfer diesel) fuel and
always ll the fuel tank at the end of the work day to
prevent condensation. The green fuel cap is located on
the right side of the paver in front of the spraydown hose
reel. (Figure 5-16)
Fill up with low-sulfer diesel fuel at the
end of the day to reduce condensation in the tank.
Diesel fuel is highly FLAMMABLE.

fuel tank in a designated area that provides proper
ventilation with a re extinguisher available.
Explosion Hazard! Never ll the fuel
tank near an open ame, or near equipment that can
create sparks. Never check fuel level or fuel system
components near an open ame.
