Engine Start and Operation 221
Fueling
Air is always present inside the fuel tanks,
entering mainly through the tank ventila-
tion. With the air being heated up and
cooled down, condensation is formed and
water is mixed in the fuel. To avoid con-
densation when the vehicle is parked for
longer periods, fill the tanks up to 95% of
capacity. Do not fill more than that, as the
fuel needs to have room for expansion dur-
ing the heat of the day.
Do not carry extra fuel containers in the
cab. Fuel containers, full or empty, may
leak, explode or give added fuel to a fire.
Failure to follow this precaution may
lead to serious personal injury or death.
Do not smoke while fueling the vehicle.
The glow from the cigarette can ignite
the diesel fuel, causing an explosion re-
sulting in serious personal injury or
death.
