For the Caterpillar® diesel, see the Caterpillar® Operation & Maintenance Manual for information concerning fuel usage.
Notice: Diesel fuel or fuel additives not recommended in this manual could damage the fuel system and engine. Your warranty would not cover this damage. And:
• | Diesel fuel that has been mixed with engine oil or automatic transmission fluid could damage the engine and emission controls. |
• | We do not test aftermarket diesel fuel additives. Some additives, particularly those which contain alcohol or water emulsifiers, could damage the fuel system. If you believe that unique circumstances call for a fuel additive to be used, consult your dealer/retailer for advice. |
• | If you ever run out of diesel fuel, it can be difficult to restart the engine. To avoid this, never let the tank get empty. |
If you run out of fuel, Running Out of Fuel tells you how to restart the engine.
