ADDING DIESEL FUEL
Fuel can be added to either tank. The two tanks
are connected via a crossover tube. Total
usable capacity of the two tanks is 870L (230
U.S. gallons).
When filling the tanks, make sure the vent, 1,
located at the rear of the cab, behind the washer
fluid reservoir, is unobstructed.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVER FILL THE TANKS
TO CAPACITY. EITHER FILL TO BOTTOM OF
FILLER NECK OR USE THE ELECTRONIC
INSTRUMENT CONTROL SYSTEM TO AID
IN REFUELING. WHEN THE ALARM
SOUNDS A SOLID TONE, THE TANK IS
FULL. ALLOW ROOM FOR EXPANSION.
FUEL EXPANSION OF OVER FILLED TANKS
CAN RESULT IN FUEL ENTRY TO ENGINE
CYLINDERS AND ACCOMPANYING
HYDRAULIC LOCK.
IF THE ORIGINAL FUEL TANK CAPS ARE
LOST, REPLACE THEM WITH BUHLER
VERSATILE CAPS AND TIGHTEN
SECURELY.

To add fuel to the tractor, follow the steps below:
1. Clean the area around the fuel cap(s) to
prevent debris from entering the fuel tank.
2. To remove the cap, turn handle, 1, in the
center of the cap counterclockwise until
loose and pull the cap from the tank. Place it
in a clean area during refueling.
NOTE: With the engine off, and the
ignition switch in the “RUN” position, the
fuel fill mode of the Electronic Instrument
Control System will be operational and
will assist in refueling procedures. Refer
to “Electronic Instrument Control
System” in Section 2 for further
information.
3. After filling the tank, replace and tighten the
fuel cap. The cap has a locking tab for
additional security.
