Fuel System Clean Diesel Fuel Diesel Fuel should be poured so that no sediment can enter the tractor fuel tank whilst it is being filled. Fuel storage facilities should allow for the periodic removal of sediment from the bottom of the storage tank. The Diesel fuel filters will remove any sediment still present in the fuel and ensure that the fuel reaching the injection pump and injectors is free of impurities. The fuel filter should be serviced regularly to ensure maximum engine reliability. It is recommended to use diesel fuel specified to ASTM D-975 D2 S15, EN 590 (ULSD- 15 PPM S LEVELS) Bleeding the Fuel Filter The presence of air in the fuel can cause fuel stoppages. The air should be completely bled so that the machine operates satisfactorily. Loosen the banjo bolt (B) on FIP side of filter. Operate hand primer (A) on fuel filter till you get the flow of fuel free of air from the banjo. Re-tighten the banjo bolt (B).
Escaping hydraulic diesel fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Do not use your hand to check for leaks. Use piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks. Stop engine and relieve pressure before connecting or disconnecting lines. Tighten all connections before pressurizing lines. If any fluid is injected into the skin obtain medical attention immediately or else, serious injury may result.

Bleeding the Fuel Injection Pump Loosen the High-Pressure pipes at the nozzle end. Operate the hand primer (A) on fuel filter till you get a streamline flow of fuel from the High-Pressure pipes. Retighten the High-Pressure pipes and start the engine. Observe till the engine runs smoothly and then shut-off till further use. Fuel Tank and Fuel Pipes Fill the tank each time the tractor finishes the days work. This prevents condensation inside the fuel tank. Check regularly to ensure all fuel pipe unions are tight and in good order. Ensure that vent hole provided on fuel tank cap is not choked. Water or dirt settled in the bottom of fuel tank should be drained daily, before starting the engine by loosening the drain cock till clean diesel flows.
