FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel Safety Reminders
A diesel engine will operate on any fuel which enters the cylinder, whether it
is from the injectors or from the air intake system. Therefore, if any solvent
is used to flush out the air cleaner element, the engine may over speed
during start-up. Engine damage, severe personal injury or death from burns
or explosion may occur.
DO NOT mix gasoline or alcohol with diesel oil fuel. This mixture can
cause an explosion and result in severe personal injury or death.
DO NOT remove the fuel tank cap near an open flame. Diesel fumes are
combustible and can cause an explosion or fire resulting in severe personal
injury or death.
If a fuel leak is detected, stop the engine immediately. The vapors from
hot fuel are highly flammable which may result in a fire.
DO NOT store fuel containers in the vehicle. They may leak, explode and
cause or feed a fire. Empty or full, they present a hazard that may lead to
burns in the event of a fire.
