IMPORTANT
DIESEL
FUEL
PRECAUTIONS
THE
FUEL
INJECTION EQUIPMENT
IS
DESIGNED FOR
EFFICIENCY,
DURABILITY AND
LONG
LIFE.
HOWEVE'R,
IT
CAN
BE
SERIOUSLY DAMAGED
BY
WATER,
SEDIMENT
OR
IN-
CORRECT
FUEL.
THE
EXTENT
OF
TROUBLE-FREE
OPERATION AND
THE
ACTUAL
LIFE
OF
THE
COMPONENTS WILL DEPEND
ON
THE CARE GIVEN
THE
SYSTEM.
READ
THE
INFORMATION LISTED
ON
THIS PAGE THOROUGHLY AND ADOPT
THE
RECOMMENDED PRACTICES. ADHERENCE
TO
THESE
PRACTICES WILL ASSURE
ECO-
NOMICAL,
TROUBLE-FREE
OPERATION AND
SATISFACTION
WITH
YOUR
DIESEL
TRACTOR.
1.
Select
a REPUTABLE SUPPLIER
and
buy
only
CLEAN
diesel
fuel
which
meets
the
RE-
QUIRED SPECIFICATIONS.
2.
Keep
fuel
clean
by
adhering
to
the
following
practices:
a.
Store
fuel in
tanks
equipped
with
a WATER TRAP. DRAIN TRAPS REGULARLY.
Do
not
store
diesel
fuel
in
galvanized
tanks.
b.
If
it
is
necessary
to
store
the
fuel in
drums,
make
sure
they
are
free
of WATER,
GASOLINE AND SEDIMENT. Keep
drums
under
cover,
away
from
direct
sunlight
and
rain.
Keep
plugs
in
place
and
tight.
c.
Once in
place,
avoid
moving
the
tank
or
drum.
d.
Do
not
use
the
last
few
gallons
of
fuel
from
the
storage
tank,
as
it
is
likely
to
con-
tain
water
and
sediment.
e.
Handle
the
fuel
as
little
as
possible.
AVOID USING CANS AND FUNNELS
TO
TRANSFER
FUEL,
AS
THEY
ARE
DIFFICULT
TO
KEEP
CLEAN.
3.
Fill
Tractor
fuel
tank
at
the
end
of
each
day's
operation
to
prevent
condensation.
4.
Inspect
the
agglomerator
bowl DAILY,
before
starting
the
engine.
Drain
and
clean
bowl,
if
water
or
sediment
is
present.
IMPORTANT:
IF
THE
AG
G L 0
MER
AT
0 R BOWL
REQUIRES
FREQUENT
DRAINING,
ADOPT
BETTER
METHODS OF STORING AND TRANSFERRING
THE
FUEL.
WATER
OR
SEDIMENT
WILL
DAMAGE
THE
HIGHLY PRECISION INJECTION PUMP AND IN-
JECTORS.
5.
Replace
the
primary
fuel
filter
and
secondary
filter
at
the
recommended
hourly
inter-
vals.
DIRTY
FUEL
FILTERS
WILL
REDUCE POWER.
Make
sure
to
CAREFULLY
CLEAN
the
outside
of
the
filter
before
removing.
USE ONLY GENUINE
MF
FILTER
ELEMENTS.
6.
If
the
injection
pump,
injectors,
or
the
fuel
system
should
require
adjustment
or
serv-
icing,
CALL
YOUR MASSEY-FERGUSON
DEALER.
He
has
the
special
training
and
tools
re-
quired
to do
the
job
properly.
