Maintenance
Fill up the tank with the correct fuel type at the end of each working day. This
prevents condensation water from forming in the fuel tank over night. Do not fill the
tank completely but leave some space for the fuel to expand.
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. 87):
• 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. 15 cm 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
