Maintenance
Stationary fuel pumps
General
Only refuel from stationary fuel pumps. Fuel from barrels or cans is usually dirty.
Even the smallest particles of dirt can cause
• Increased engine wear
• Malfunctions in the fuel system and
• Reduced effectiveness of the fuel filters
Refueling from barrels
If refueling from barrels cannot be avoided, note the following points (see fig. 2):
• Barrels must neither be rolled nor tilted before refueling
• Protect the suction pipe opening of the barrel pump with a fine-mesh screen
• Immerse it down to a max. 150 mm (5.9 in) above the bottom of the barrel
• Only fill the tank using refueling aids (funnels or filler pipes) with integral microfilter
• Keep all refueling containers clean at all times
Diesel fuel specification
Use only high-grade fuels
• Sulfur content < 0.05 %
• Cetane number > 45
