FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT
• Always fit a fuel/water separator
in the fuel supply system. Water
in the fuel can seriously damage
the injection system.
• If a fuel supply shutoff valve is
fitted do not use a taper tap, only
use a ball valve tap. The ball
valve type are more reliable and
less likely to let air into the fuel
system.
• Be sure to use a strainer when
filling the fuel tank. Dirt or sand
in the fuel may cause trouble in
the fuel injection pump.
• Always use diesel fuel.
• Do not use kerosene, which is
very low in cetane rating, and
adversely affects the engine.
• Be careful not to let the fuel tank
become empty, or air can enter
the fuel system, necessitating
bleeding before next engine start.
(3) New engines are normally
supplied with the gearbox topped
up with lubricant but Check the
level before starting the engine
for the first time.
(4) The oil can be changed via the
drain plug at the bottom of the

• The fuel lift pump will only lift
fuel through 0.25 metres. If this
is insufficient then an electric fuel
lift pump must be fitted. Drawing

wiring of a typical electric fuel lift
pump with ignition switched
relay can be supplied upon
