Stationary fuel pumps
General
If possible, refuel only from stationary fuel pumps. Fuel from barrels or cans is usually
dirty.
Even the smallest particles of dirt can cause:
• Increased engine wear.
• Malfunctions in the fuel system and
• Reduced effectiveness of the fuel filters.
Refuelling from barrels
If refuelling from barrels cannot be avoided, note the following points:
• Barrels must neither be rolled nor tilted before refuelling.
• Protect the suction pipe opening of the barrel pump with a fine-mesh screen.
• Immerse the suction pipe opening down to a max. 15 cm (5.9 in) above the floor of the
barrel.
• Only fill the tank using refuelling aids (funnels or filler pipes) with integral microfilter.
• Keep all refuelling containers clean at all times.
