Fuel System Recommendations
To prevent fuel system contamination, which can damage fuel system parts, the following recommendations must be followed:1. Fill fuel tank at end of each day of operation to force out moisture laden air and prevent condensation in tank.2. Water and sediment should be drained from the tank at the start of each shift or after the fuel tank has been filled and allowed to stand for 5 to 10 minutes.3. Clean fuel tank filler cap and screen every 500 hours.4. If engine fuel system is equipped with a water separator, drain water from water separator daily before starting engine. Always drain water from separator before it becomes one-half full. Frequent draining may be necessary in areas of high humidity or when fuel supply is contaminated with water. Drain water and sediment from the main fuel storage tank weekly, and before the tank is refilled. This will help prevent water or sediment from being pumped from the storage tank into the machine fuel tank.
