PRIMING IF THE ENGINE HAS RUN OUT
O
F FUEL DIESEL ENGINE
1. Add a substantial amount of fuel to the tank,
approximately 2 to 5 gal (8L to 19L).
2. Three priming cycles must be completed. Turn
ignition to the RUN position and wait approximately
30 seconds. This will activate the in tank fuel
pump. Turn the ignition switch to the off position,
and leave off for at least 30 seconds. Repeat this
procedure three times before cranking the engine.
3. Start the engine using the “Normal Starting”
procedure Ú page 129.
4. Once the engine starts, allow the engine to idle
for a minimum of 30 seconds.
NOTE:
The engine may run rough until the air is forced
from all the fuel lines.
NOTE:
A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel, meeting
ASTM specification D-975 may be used with
your Cummins® diesel engine.
A maximum blend of 20% biodiesel, meeting
ASTM specification D-7467 may be used with
your Cummins® diesel engine.
Use of biodiesel mixture in excess of 20% can
negatively impact the fuel filter's ability to sepa-
rate water from the fuel, resulting in high pres-
sure fuel system corrosion or damage.
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.
CAUTION!
Do not engage the starter motor for more than
15 seconds at a time. Allow two minutes
between the cranking intervals.
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.
