12 - Fuel
12.1 - Storage, handling and cleaning
The fuel purity and cleanness are vital for the good
operation of the engine and durability of the
injection system. So, in order to assure the fuel
complies with the requirements, follow the
recommendations below:
1 - Use reservoirs equipped with 2 taps, one on
each end. Favor the use of plastic reservoirs.
In case of metallic reservoir, use stainless steel
reservoirs or with suitable internal coating, not
made of zinc, because it contaminates the fuel,
which affects the life of the injection system
and engine.
2 - Never use galvanized pans, tanks, clocks or
tubes, because the coating reacts with diesel
producing residues.
3 - The drum or reservoir in use must be protected
from sunlight, rain and dust. It should be
supported by stands and in the horizontal
position, with a slight inclination, so that the
draining side is around 10 cm higher in relation
to the other side. Thus, the water and
impurities will be deposited in the bottom, from
where they will be drained by the tap on the
opposite end.
4 - The reservoirs should have a breather,
protected from water penetration, located on
the higher end.
5 - Ideally, two drums should be used with
capacity to store fuel for a week each. After
the filling, the oil must rest for 2 or 3 days in
order to settle the impurities on the bottom.
Thus, while one rests, the other is being used.
If larger tanks are used, there must be a upper
cover (1) for cleaning, with a diameter of at
least 40 mm.
6 - The tank filling point (2) must have easy access
and a minimum diameter of 65 mm. If there is
a tube, it must finish 15 cm from the bottom
and equipped with a filter. The cover must be
equal to that used in tanks in vehicles.
7 - A breather with a minimum diameter of 80 mm,
with a protective filter (5) must be installed on
the upper part of the tank.
8 - The vehicles filling output (3) must be installed
in the highest side of the drum at 80 mm from
the bottom.
9 - The height must be enough so that the filling
is done by gravity, and the cover for the filling
nozzle must allow access for cleaning.
10 - The fuel deposited on the lower part if full of
impurities and must be drained once a week
through the drain (4) installed on the bottom,
before refilling the tank. Do not discard this
fuel, it can be used for other purposes, such
as wash parts, tools, etc.
11 - A graded rod can be adapted to the upper
cleaning cover (1) to measure the fuel level.
12 - The tank must be emptied and cleaned once
a year.
13 - To fill the vehicle or transfer diesel to another
container, always use a funnel with a thin
screen (mesh 80). Always use funnels,
containers or pump completely clean. Never
use shop cloth or shop rags, because the lint
can adhere to the parts and get in contact with
the fuel.
