FUEL

Use

No.2-D

(SAE

J3l3)

diesel fuel with a Cetane rating

of

#45

or

higher. Grade

of

diesel

fuel

according to ASTM D975.

In conjunction with Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel.

Use

an

additive such as Diesel Kleen + Cetane Boost to help restore

lubricity back into the diesel.

fUEL

WATER

SEPARATOR

A

primary

fuel

filter

of

the water separating type must be

installed between the

fuel

tank

and

the engine

to

remove

water

and

other contaminants

from

the fuel before they can

be

carried

to

the fuel system

on

the

engine.

A

typical

fuel

filter/water separator

is

illustrated

in

this

diagram. This

is

the Raycor

Model

500

MA.

Keep

in

mind

that if a water separator type

filter

is

not

installed between the

~uel

supply

tank and engine-mounted fuel system,

any

water

l~

the

fuel

will

affect the

fuel

pump,

engine

filter,

and

injec-

lIon equipment. The owner/operator

is

responsible

for

making

certain

the

fuel

reaching

the

enSine's injection equipment is

free of impurities. This

process

is

accomplished

by

installing

and maintaining a proper filtration/separation

system.

INJECTION

PUMP

10

micron

filter

element

recommended.

The fuel injection pump is

the

most important component

of

the diesel engine, requiring the utmost caution in handling.

The fuel injection pump has been thoroughly bench-tested

and the owner-operator is cautioned not to attempt

to

service

it.

If

it requires servicing, remove it and take it to

an

authorized fuel injection

pump

service

facility.

Do

not

attempt

to

disassemble and repair it. Do not send the timing

shims with the injection pump, leave on engine.

BlEEOSCREW

The bleed screw on the injection

pump

should be left

in

the

open position. This wili then

allow

for ease

in

priming the

engine's

fuel

system and during engine operation allow for

air in the system

to

be delivered

to

the fuel tank through the

fuel return system.

filTER

Periodically

check

the

fuel

connections and the

filter

bowl for

leakage.

Change

the

filter

element

after

the first

50

hours. See

the

MAINTENANCE

SCHEDULE.

Changing

the

Filter

Cartridge

1. Shut

off

the fuel

supply.

NOTE:

Slide

a plastic

bag

up

over

the

fuel

filter

cartridge

as it

will

be

full

of

fuel.

2. Unscrew

the

cartridge from its housing and remove the

cartridge

and

its gasket. .

3. Wipe

both

the housing

and

the

top

of the

new

cartridge

with

clean

fuel.

4.

To

help

reduce fuel system priming, fill the fuel filter

with

diesel

before installing. This will dramatically

reduce the pliming

time

needed to purge air from the

engines

fuel system before starting.

5. Install the

new

cartridge and

spin

on

real

tight

by hand.

6.

Open

the

fuel

supply.

Run

the engine to inspect for leaks.

there

is

a small
