14. Clean starter motor and alternator terminals

and apply a light layer of grease. If the vehicle
is exposed to the weather, alternator, starter
motor, and instruments panel must be
protected.

Engine preparation to return to operation

Before starting an engine, which was being
inactive for a long time, back to operation, take
the following cares:

1.

Clean perfectly all the outer parts.

2.

Close all block and radiator drain plugs and
fill cooling system with clean water. Check for
leakages.

3.

Turn water pump pulley with the hand to
assure if the water pump seals are free.

4.

Install fan belt and adjust its tension.

5.

Remove valves cover, lubricate rocker arms
with engine oil and assembly it again.

6.

Clean and assembly air filter and filling inlet,
remove the sealing adhesive tape from intake
and exhaust manifolds.

7.

Assembly exhaust pipe.

8.

Pressurize with new engine oil engine
galleries (50/60 lbf/pol²) and turn crankshaft
with the hands, so it displaces the shells.
Depressurize system and remove
pressurization tank.

9.

Connect battery(ies):

Warning:

In terminals fixation, do not
invert cables position in relation
to battery contacts. First
connect positive terminal.

10. Remove the excess of grease from alternator

and starter motor terminals. Check if all the
connections are ok.

11. Drain oil from oil pan and fill it up to correct

level.

12. Remove adhesive tape from tank or from

14. Replace fuel filter cartridge.

15. Bleed fuel system.

FUEL STORAGE

Clean fuel, free of water, impurities and strange
materials are important factors to assure the
good engine operation, for a long time and without
failures.

Water, dirt and sulfur contained in fuel are
responsible for dregs formation in oil pan, deposit
in compression rings housing, cylinders walls,
nozzles and exhaust valves, besides interfacing
in the good operation of the fuel injection pump.

The use of recommended lubricants contributes
efficiently to neutralize, to avoid or to reduce the
harmful effects of these products during engine
operation.

The function of the engine fuel filtering system is
to avoid dirt and impurities existents in fuel,
damage fuel injection system high precision parts.

Lack of care during filling overcharges engine fuel
filtering system, damaging its purpose.

These problems are easily eliminated taking the
following cares:

1.

After storage tank filling, it is necessary to let
fuel resting during 24 h, so that there will be
water and impurities sedimentation.

2.

Before transferring fuel from storage tank to
any other tank, it is necessary to drain
accumulated water and sediments.

3.

Bottles, funnels, etc. used to transfer fuel
from a tank to another must be clean. Tow or
clothes that loose threads cannot be used to
clean these utensils.

4.

Funnel used for fuel transfer must have a
metallic fabric of mesh 80 (thread of
0.10 mm and mesh opening of 0.25 mm).

Warning:

To install fuel storage tanks the
following checks must be
followed:

1.

Location, dimension and safety of the area
where it is installed.

2.

The local must be flat, preferently far from
houses, animal shelters, electric installations,
places where there are welding equipments,
boilers, or others that may generate sparks,
blames or excessive heat.

3.

Tank must be cylindrical, made of steel plates
electrically welded. Internally, the surface of
the tank and all fuel piping must be clean and
free of any impurities which can contaminate
fuel, it cannot be zinced, because fuel
chemically reacts with zinc, producing a
viscous substance that obstruct filters and
damage fuel injection system functioning.

4.

Externally, fuel tank and all components of its
piping must be painted with anti-corrosive paint.

5.

Tank must have a ventilation system with inlet
protected with metallic mesh. It is also
possible to install an air filter.

6.

Outlet fuel piping must have, after register,
filtering and sedimentation system.

7.

If it is necessary to install an electric net to
power pump, that equipment must be
special, armored type.

8.

If it is necessary to install a hydraulic pump
for fuel manipulation, this must be protected,
when not in use, from direct contact with fuel,
by a retention valve and register.

9.

Hydraulic pump and control panels must be
assembled on bases of concrete.

10. Tank must have a storage register of

sedimented water and impurities.

11. Tank must be installed on appropriated

supports, so that its frontal part, where it is
fuel outlet, stays higher than rear where it is
located drainage register.

16. Children must keep out of playing near fuel

tank facilities.

17. In strategic points, around tank, must be fixed

warning plates like this:

Warning:

Do not smoke in this local on
near watch out inflammable!
Keep out

18. The area must be protected with fire

extinguishers properly signalized.

14. Gallons must be protected from sun, rain and

dust, and must be lay down on supports that
keep faucets approximately 75 mm higher
than the bottom. This will make easier water
and impurities sedimentation.

15. Place where fuel tank is installed must be

kept clean. Floor under tank, even at 1 meter
of distance, must be covered with thick
gravel.

12. Inclination in relation to ground level must be

from 20 to 50 mm to each meter of length.

13. If gallons are used, these must not be

internally galvanized.
