Priming If The Engine Has Run Out Of Fuel
WARNING!
Do not open the high pressure fuel system with the
engine running. Engine operation causes high fuel
pressure. High pressure fuel spray can cause serious
injury or death.
1. Add a substantial amount of fuel to the tank, approxi-
mately 2 to 5 gal (8L to 19L).
2. Press ignition switch twice without your foot on brake
to put vehicle in Run position. This will activate the in
tank fuel pump for approximately 30 seconds. Repeat
this process twice.
3. Start the engine using the “Normal Starting” procedure.
Refer to “Starting The Engine” in “Starting and Operat-
ing” for further information.
CAUTION!
The starter motor will engage for approximately 30
seconds at a time. Allow two minutes between crank-
ing intervals.
NOTE:
The engine may run rough until the air is forced
from all the fuel lines.
WARNING!
Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending agent.
They can be unstable under certain conditions and be
hazardous or explosive when mixed with diesel fuel.
CAUTION!
Due to lack of lubricants in alcohol or gasoline, the use
of these fuels can cause damage to the fuel system.
NOTE:
•
Use of biodiesel mixture in excess of 20% can negatively
impact the fuel filter’s ability to separate water from the
fuel, resulting in high pressure fuel system corrosion or
damage.
•
In addition, commercially available fuel additives are
not necessary for the proper operation of your diesel
engine.
•
For extreme cold conditions,
