Operation
61 Model 10054 Rev 3/02
Make sure the vehicle is level to assure an accurate fuel level reading. The
fuel tank is capable of holding 37 gallons (140 liters) of diesel fuel. The
usable capacity of the fuel tank is 35.6 gallons (135 liters).
Fuel Types
Use ASTM #2 diesel fuel with a minimum Cetane rating of 40. #2 diesel fuel
gives the best fuel economy and performance under most operating
conditions. Fuels with Cetane ratings higher than 40 may be needed in
higher altitudes or extremely low ambient temperatures to prevent misfiring
and excessive smoke.
• When operating at temperatures above 32° F (0° C), use
standard #2 diesel fuel.
• When operating at temperatures below 32° F (0° C), use a blend
of #1 & #2 diesel fuels, most commonly known as “winterized” #2
diesel.
Refueling
WARNING:
Engine fuel is flammable and can cause a fire
or an explosion. Keep sparks and open flames away from the
vehicle and DO NOT use smoking materials while refueling.
