SAFETY AND OPERATORS MANUAL
NOTE
•
NEVER use No. 2D at temperatures below
20°F (-7°C) unless you are sure it has
been "winterized". Cold temperatures will
cause fuel to thicken which may keep your
engine from running.
•
If No. 1D is not available, a "winterized"
blend of No. 1D and No. 2D may be
available. This blended fuel is usually
called No. 2D also and may be used in
colder temperatures.
•
If the vehicle fuel tank is being filled for the
first time or if the vehicle was allowed to
run out of fuel, it will be necessary to
bleed the air from the fuel system (refer to
"Bleeding The Fuel System" in the
Maintenance manual ).
WARNING
Gasoline containing ALCOHOL can cause
deteration of some non-metalic materials
in the fuel system.
Fuel hoses must be inspected frequently
and replaced if excessive stiffness,
deterioration or fuel leakage is found.
Gasoline Containing ALCOHOL will
attract and hold moisture inside fuel
tanks. Moisture may cause corrosion of
metalic parts within the fuel system.
Fuel leakage from a fuel system can
occur while the system is in use, in
transit, or in starage. Such leakage can
contribute to an explosion or fire, causing
serious bodily injury or death.
