Fuel System
Location of Fuel Shut-off Valves
Fuel shut-off valves for the fuel crossover
line are on the bottom of the secondary
fuel tank, at the crossover line connection.
They are optional on the primary fuel tank.
Specification
Use only diesel fuel as recommended by
engine manufacturers.
WARNING
Diesel fuel in the presence of an igni-
tion source could cause an explosion.
A mixture of gasoline or alcohol with
diesel fuel increases this risk of explo-
sion. DO NOT remove a fuel tank cap
near an open flame. Use only the fuel
and/or additives recommended for
your engine. Failure to comply may re-
sult in death, personal injury, equip-
ment or property damage.
CAUTION
If anyone ever pours gasoline into your
fuel
tank, drain the entire system. Oth-
erwise, the pump and engine will be
damaged. DO NOT try to dilute the
gasoline by adding diesel fuel (see
Warning above).
Fuel Filters
See Engine Manufacturer’s Operator
Manual provided with this chassis.
Draining the Primary Fuel Filter
The following tools are suggested for this
procedure:
• Container (1 liter capacity)
(optional)
• 3/8" diameter rubber hose
(optional)
Perform with engine OFF. Cover any
electrical equipment and wiring that might
get soaked with fuel – diesel fuel may
permanently damage electrical insulation.
If draining to replace filter, drain into
container with a minimum 1 liter (1 qt)
capacity
, and use hose to route fluid.
1. Access the Engine compartment by
tilting the cab (see Raising the Cab
on page 15), and locate the
primary fuel filter.
2. Open drain valve (by hand only)
until draining occurs.
If draining to replace the filter,
before opening valve, push one
end of hose onto drain valve and
route other end to the container.
3. Drain fluid from filter assembly:
• If draining water from fuel, drain
filter bowl of water until clear
fuel is visible, then close drain
valve, or
• If replacing filter, drain until flow
stops, then close valve.
CAUTION
Do not overtighten the
valve. Over tightening can
damage the threads.
If a hose was used to drain fluid,
remove hose.
