cause an explosion. Do not mix gasoline, alco-
hol, or gasohol with diesel fuel. Make sure you
know your fuel source and use the recom-
mended diesel fuel as indicated in this section
of the Operator's manual.
CAUTION: Dirt or water in the fuel system can
cause severe damage to both the fuel pump and
the fuel injectors. Due to the precise tolerances
of diesel injection systems, it is extremely
important that the fuel be kept clean and free of
dirt or water. Know your fuel source and make
sure all steps are taken for dispensing or using
clean fuel in your vehicle.

possibly damage fuel system components.
Lighter fuels typically do not have enough
lubricity elements in the fuel to properly lubri-
cate the fuel injection system. Be sure you fol-
low the fuel recommendations as indicated in
this section of the operator's manual.
