Zinc or galvanized tanks should not be used as
harmful compounds may form due to reactions
with fuel oil impurities.
Pitch fuel tanks down away from fuel outlet.
The fuel system (Figure 10) consists of a glass
sediment bowl, fuel transfer pump, primary filter,
secondary filter, injection pump, injectors, and the
connecting fuel lk~es.
Use a drain cock with provisions for draining off
water and sediment.
A
fuel filterand watertrap located on tankoutlet is
good practice.
Fill
tanks on mobile equipment at end of each day
to keep condensation at a minimum.
In low temperatures,
it
is
quite common for diesel fuels
to
become
jelly-like. The point at which they cease being a liquid
is
known
as
the pour point. This quality should be watched carefully in
temperatures of
20°F
(-7°C) or lower.
Pour
Point'
Pour point indicates the suitability of fuel
to cold weather operation. Fuel should pour at 10°F
(-6°C)
below the lowest expected ambient
temperature, Figure
