Section 3

OS 285

Avoid using fuels with alcohol additives.

Gasoline/alcohol blends absorb moisture

from the air, which can cause "phase sepa-

ration". When this happens, the water and

alcohol mixture becomes heavy enough to

settle to the bottom of the tank. Since the

fuel pick up tube is near the bottom of the

tank, phase separation can cause the

engine to run very poorly or not at all.

Methyl-alcohol gasoline mixtures are even

worse as the alcohol content is greater.

Water or a jelly like substance in the fuel fil-

ters is an indication of phase separation

from the using alcohol blended fuels.

Diesel engine operation requires clean and

dry diesel fuel. Algae can grow in the accu-

mulated water in a diesel fuel tank. This con-

dition is prevalent in warmer climates.

Periodically adding a high-quality diesel fuel

additive containing an algicide may be

required to control algae in your area.

Please contact your Pursuit dealer or engine

manufacturer for additional information

regarding fuels and additives.
