Fuel: Description and Operation
WARNING: Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending agent. They can be unstable under certain conditions and be hazardous or explosive
when mixed with diesel fuel.
Use only good quality ASTM No.2 Diesel Fuel.
In extreme cold temperatures, a winter blend of fuel should be used to prevent "waxing" in the fuel filters (See Fuel Specifications).
AVOID USING CONTAMINATED FUEL
Fuel that is contaminated by water, gasoline or dirt can cause severe damage to the engine fuel system. Proper maintenance of the engine fuel filter
and fuel tank is essential.
BULK FUEL STORAGE
If you store quantities of fuel, good maintenance of the stored fuel is also essential. Fuel contaminated with water will promote the growth of
microbes. These microbes form "slime" that will clog fuel filters and lines. Drain condensation from the supply tank and change the line filter on a
regular basis.
