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 is unavoidable, please note the following (see Fig. 73):
• 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 floor of the barrel
• Only fill the tank using refueling aids (funnels or filler pipes) with integral micro-filter
• Keep all refueling containers clean at all times.
