Operation
71
Model MMV Rev. 10/11
Make sure the vehicle is level to assure an accurate fuel level reading. The
fuel tank is capable of holding 45 gallons (171 liters) of diesel fuel.
Fuel Types
The preferred fuel is ASTM #2 diesel fuel with a minimum Cetane rating of
40. #2 diesel fuel gives the best fuel economy and performance under most
operating conditions. Fuels with Cetane ratings higher than 40 may be
needed in higher altitudes or extremely low ambient temperatures to
prevent misfiring and excessive smoke.
• When operating at temperatures above 32° F (0° C), use
standard #2 diesel fuel.
• When operating at temperatures below 32° F (0° C), use a blend
of #1 & #2 diesel fuels, most commonly known as “winterized” #2
diesel.
Alternate Fuel Types
The vehicle is also capable of operation on alternate military fuels including
JP-5, JP-8 and Jet A-1. However, an up to 5% reduction in engine
horsepower output can be expected when using alternate military fuels due
to the lower BTU rating of these fuels.
Refueling
WARNING: Engine fuel is flammable and can cause a
fire or an explosion. Keep sparks and open flames away from the
vehicle and DO NOT use smoking materials while refueling.
