Fill the diesel fuel tank at the end of the day, because the incoming fuel will drive out the moisture-laden air and prevent condensation. Diesel Fuel Tank Filler Cap: The diesel fuel tank filler cap elements should be washed every 50 to 250 service hours depending upon the amount of dust in the air. To do this, remove the bolt and take out the baffle plate and gaskets. Wash the cap and elements in a can of kerosene or some non-inflammable cleaning fluid. After the cap is washed pour a small amount of crankcase lubricating oil on the filter elements. Diesel Fuel Tank: The fuel level in the diesel fuel tank may be checked with the plunger gauge in the filler opening.Every 125 service hours, before starting the engine, open the fuel tank drain valve under the diesel fuel tank and drain off any water which may have accumulated.The strainer in the fuel tank filler opening should be removed and cleaned regularly. Remove the snap ring and lift out the strainer.
