Adding Fuel

T he engine r uns on clean, fresh diesel fuel with a minim um octane rating of 40. Purc hase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 da ys to ensure fuel freshness .

Use summer g rade diesel fuel (No . 2-D) at temperatures abo v e 20° F (-7° C) and winter g rade diesel fuel (No . 1-D or No . 1-D/2-D blend) belo w 20° F (-7° C). Use of winter g rade diesel fuel at lo w er temperatures pro vides lo w er ﬂash point and pour point c haracteristics , therefore easing star tability and lessening c hances of c hemical se paration of the fuel due to lo w er temperatures (w ax appearance , whic h ma y plug ﬁlters).

Use of summer g rade diesel fuel abo v e 20° F (-7° C) will contribute to w ard long er life of the pump components .

Important: Do not use k er osene or gasoline instead of diesel fuel. F ailur e to obser v e this caution will dama ge the engine.

In cer tain conditions, fuel is extr emel y ﬂamma ble and highl y explosi v e. A ﬁr e or explosion fr om fuel can bur n y ou and other s and can dama ge pr oper ty .

• Fill the fuel tank outdoor s, in an open ar ea, when the engine is cold. W ipe up an y fuel that spills.

• Nev er ﬁll the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer .

• Do not ﬁll the fuel tank completel y full. Add fuel to the fuel tank until the lev el is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) belo w the bottom of the ﬁller neck. T his empty space in the tank allo ws fuel to expand.

• Nev er smok e when handling fuel, and stay a w ay fr om an open ﬂame or wher e fuel fumes may be ignited by a spar k.

• Stor e fuel in an appr o v ed container and k eep it out of the r each of childr en. Nev er buy mor e than a 30-day suppl y of fuel.

• Al w ays place fuel container s on the g r ound a w ay fr om y our v ehicle bef or e ﬁlling .

Fuel is har mful or f atal if s w allo w ed. Long-ter m exposur e to v apor s can cause serious injur y and illness.

• A v oid pr olonged br eathing of v apor s.

• K eep f ace a w ay fr om nozzle and gas tank or conditioner opening .

• K eep gas a w ay fr om ey es and skin.

• Do not ﬁll fuel container s inside a v ehicle or on a tr uck or trailer bed because interior car pets or plastic tr uck bed liner s may insulate the container and slo w the loss of an y static charge.

• W hen practical, r emo v e gas-po w er ed equipment fr om the tr uck or trailer and r efuel the equipment with its wheels on the g r ound.

• If this is not possible, then r efuel such equipment on a tr uck or trailer fr om a por ta ble container , rather than fr om a fuel dispenser nozzle.

• If a fuel dispenser nozzle must be used, k eep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

Filling the Fuel Tank

1. Shut the engine off and set the parking brak e .

2. Clean around eac h fuel tank cap and remo v e the cap . Add fuel to both fuel tanks , until the lev el is 1/4 to 1/2 inc h (6 to 13 mm) belo w the bottom of the ﬁller nec k. T his space in the tank allo ws the fuel to expand. Do not ﬁll the fuel tanks completely full.

3. Install fuel tank caps securely . Wipe up any fuel that ma y ha v e spilled.

4. If possible , ﬁll the fuel tank after eac h use . T his will minimize possible buildup of condensation inside the fuel tank.
