work per gallon. Use fuel having less than 0.5% sulfur, preferably less than 0.05% For maximum filter life, sediment and
water should not exceed 0.10 percent.
Storing Fuel

dition, keep all dirt and other foreign matter out of the fuel. Avoid storing fuel for a long period of time Fill the tank at the
end of each day's operation to prevent moisture from collecting and freezing in the fuel system.
