RADIATOR CLEANING
The radiator (Figure 61) should be sprayed (cleaned) with
a high pressure washer when excessive amounts of dirt
and debris have accumulated on the cooling fins or tube.
When using a high pressure washer, stand at least 5 feet
(1.5 meters) away from the radiator to prevent damage to
the fins and tube.

REMOVING WATER FROM THE FUEL TANK
After prolonged use, water and other impurities accumulate
in the bottom of the tank. Occasionally inspect the fuel tank
for water contamination and drain the contents if required.
During cold weather, the more empty volume inside the
tank, the easier it is for water to condense. This can be
reduced by keeping the tank full with diesel fuel.
CLEANING INSIDE THE FUEL TANK
If necessary, drain the fuel inside the fuel tank completely.
Using a spray washer (Figure 63) wash out any deposits
or debris that have accumulated inside the fuel tank.

FUEL TANK INSPECTION
In addition to cleaning the fuel tank, the following
components should be inspected for wear:
Rubber Suspension — look for signs of wear or
deformity due to contact with oil. Replace the rubber
suspension if necessary.
Fuel Hoses — inspect nylon and rubber hoses for signs
of wear, deterioration and hardening.
Fuel Tank Lining — inspect the fuel tank lining for signs
of excessive amounts of oil or other foreign matter.
