MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES (Contd)
REFUELING (Contd)
NOTE
To help prevent spills and overflows, pay close attention to
the dispensing nozzle while refueling. When refueling you
may hear a bubbling sound out of the vent line this is an
indication the fuel tank is close to full. Do not exceed a
safe refueling rate. If fuel backup and spillage is being
experienced, reduce flow rate. Also, when topping off the
tank, a reduced flow rate should be used.
In extreme heat, fill fuel tank just below full mark on fuel
cap dipstick, this will allow room for fuel expansion.
Do not fill fuel tank above upper NO. 1 full mark on the fuel
cap dipstick.
5. Fill fuel tank to upper No. 1 full mark (3) on dipstick (4).
6. Once refueling is complete, remove fuel nozzle and install fuel cap (2).
7. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
