• If the vehicle’s fuel density compensator is bypassed, the vehicle must be refueled
with diesel fuel only, and the fuel tank must be clearly stenciled DIESEL FUEL
ONLY. If the fuel density compensator is bypassed and fuel other than diesel fuel
is used, the engine will not run properly.
• Primary fuels listed in table 15 must be used whenever possible. If primary fuels
are not available, alternate fuels should be used in the following order (i.e., from

Table 15. Permissible Fuels.
Never mix gasoline or JP-4 turbine fuel with other fuels outside vehicle fuel tank;
gasoline and JP-4 turbine fuel are highly combustible and may explode, resulting
in injury or death to personnel. Mixing must be done only by adding fuels to fuel tank.
CAUTION
If engine runs rough when using an alternate II fuel, add 10%–30% diesel fuel to smooth
engine performance. Failure to add diesel fuel may result in piston damage.
