DD15 Operator Guide – Fuel System

To avoid injury from fire, keep all potential ignition sources away from diesel fuel, including open flames, sparks, and electrical resistance heating elements. Do not smoke when refueling.‪

To prevent the escape of high pressure fuel that can penetrate skin, ensure the engine has been shut down for a minimum of 10 minutes before servicing any component within the high pressure circuit. Residual high fuel pressure may be present within the circuit.‪

To avoid increased risk of a fuel fire, do not mix gasoline and diesel fuel.‪

To avoid injury from fire caused by heated diesel-fuel vapors:‪

• Keep those people who are not directly involved in servicing away from the engine.
• Stop the engine immediately if a fuel leak is detected.
• Do not smoke or allow open flames when working on an operating engine.
• Wear adequate protective clothing (face shield, insulated gloves and apron, etc.).
• To prevent a buildup of potentially volatile vapors, keep the engine area well ventilated during operation.
