Do not use Number 2-D fuel at temperatures below -
7°C (20°F). The cold temperatures will cause Number
2-D fuel to thicken, which may keep the engine from
running. (If this happens, contact your Buhler Versatile
dealer.)
For the best fuel economy, use Number 2-D whenever
the temperature will permit.
To be sure a fuel meets the required properties,
enlist the aid of a reputable fuel oil supplier. The
responsibility for clean fuel lies with the fuel supplier
as well as the fuel user.
Adding Diesel Fuel
Fuel can be added to either tank. The two tanks are
connected via a crossover tube. Total usable capacity
of the two tanks is 330 U.S. gallons (1249 L).
Each fuel tank has a vent tube located on the rear
corner of the tank. The tube runs vertically inside the
cab frame and requires no maintenance.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFILL THE TANKS. EITHER
FILL TO BOTTOM OF FILLER NECK OR USE THE
ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT CONTROL SYSTEM TO
AID IN REFUELING. WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS A
SOLID TONE, THE TANK IS FULL. ALLOW ROOM FOR
EXPANSION. FUEL EXPANSION OF OVERFILLED
TANKS CAN RESULT IN FUEL ENTRY TO ENGINE
CYLINDERS AND ACCOMPANYING HYDRAULIC
LOCK.
IF THE ORIGINAL FUEL TANK CAPS ARE LOST,
REPLACE THEM WITH BUHLER VERSATILE CAPS
AND TIGHTEN SECURELY.
*When continually operating at low temperatures or high altitude, a minimum cetane of 45 is required.
Diesel Fuel Selection Chart
To add fuel to the tractor, follow the steps below:
1. Clean the area around the fuel cap(s) to prevent
debris from entering the fuel tank.
2. To remove the cap, turn handle in the center
of the cap counterclockwise until loose and pull
the cap from the tank. Place it in a clean area
during refueling.
NOTE: With the engine off, and the ignition
switch in the “RUN” position, the fuel fill mode
of the Electronic Instrument Control System will
be operational and will assist in refueling
procedures. Refer to “Electronic Instrument Control
System” in Section 3 for further information.
3. After filling the tank, replace and tighten the
