10.6 Connecting to an External Fuel Tank

• Stop the engine prior to commencing external fuel tank connections.

• Always immediately wipe up any diesel fuel or engine oil that is spilled. Do not use

this equipment if there are any leaks. Repair the equipment before further use.

1. Turn the 3-way valve to the A position.

2. Disconnect the 3/8 inch pipe plugs from both the external fuel intake and the external fuel

return lines and connect the hoses from the external fuel tank, ensuring that the suction

and return are connected to the proper plugs.

3. Turn the 3-way valve to the B position.

4. Vacuum out the air from connected hoses. This will allow the use of the fuel from the

external fuel tank.

• To vacuum out the air from the external fuel lines turn the starter switch to the

Operating/Preheating position and hold it there for approximately 10 seconds.

• To avoid leaks from the external fuel intake or the external fuel return ports, always

turn the 3-way valve to the A position while connecting or disconnecting the

external fuel tank lines.

• Use extreme caution when connecting the external fuel tank lines. If the 3-way

valve is not set properly, fuel may leak from either the internal fuel tank or the

external fuel tank.
