(2) Fuel tank
① Fuel and Fuel tank capacity :
See chapter 5-3, “Lubricants and Capacity” or
the last page in this manual.
If contaminants such as dust or water are mixed
with the fuel, it can cause a serious damage to
the engine. To fill the tank, the fuel storage
facility must be equipped as shown in the right
figure. If possible, fill the tank with fuel at a gas
station.
③
Checking Fuel level and filling the tank
Check the fuel gauge of the tractor fuel tank and if it’s not sufficient, fill the fuel tank with diesel fuel.
For further information about diesel fuel, see chapter 5-1-(3), 5-1-(4), 5-1-(5) in this manual.
▶After finishing work, fill the fuel tank fully. As the temperature drops down, the
humidity in the fuel tank is condensed, and may be mixed with the fuel.
Notice
②
Using Diesel for winter
General diesel fuel tends to generate paraffin
dregs in cold weather which may cause a bad
engine start. Thus, it is recommended to use
diesel for winter in cold weather.
