ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
FUEL SPECIFICATIONS
No. 2D diesel fuel is recommended for
use in power units. In extremely cold
temperatures use No. 1D diesel fuel.
In selecting a fuel, note that distillate
fuels are especially desirable because
the fuel is heated to a vaporous state and
condensed thus eliminating all sediment
and residue.
NOTE: Contact the authorized engine
dealer in your area for information on the
use of alternate fuels in this engine.
There is considerable variation in the
composition of fuels distributed under the
No. 2 grade classications. For desirable
engine service it is most important to give
special attention to cetane number pour
point, cloud point, and sulphur content.
STORING FUEL
Proper fuel storage is critically important.
Keep all dirt, water and other contami-
nants out of fuel. Avoid storing fuel over
long periods of time.
FILING FUEL TANK
Fill fuel tanks at the end of each day's
operation to prevent condensation as
moist air cools. Lock tanks after refueling.
CAUTION: Do not ll tank completely to
the top. Leave space in the tank for gas
vapor to expand with changes in tem-
perature. A completely lled tank could
overow if exposed to a rise in tempera-
ture.
DANGER/BURN HAZARD: Never
smoke, weld or have an open
flame when refueling.
