Fuel type
Af ter you have made the “ground con trol / plat form
con trol” de ci sion you need to know whether the SR
has a gas o line or die sel en gine. If it has a “gas o -
line” en gine you fur ther need to know whether it is
set up to burn LP-only, or dual-fuel (LP or gas o -
line). If it is set up to burn dual-fuel you have to de -
cide whether to burn gas o line or LP. The sim plest
way to tell what kind of en gine set up you have is to
look in the fuel com part ment on the left side of the
SR — open both fuel com part ment doors.
● If the only fuel source you see there is a
tank labeled GASOLINE FUEL, the SR
has a gasoline engine set up to burn
gasoline.
● If the only fuel source you see is a tank
labeled DIESEL FUEL, the SR has a
diesel engine.
● If the only fuel source you see is one or
more LP tanks, the SR has a special
gasoline engine set up to burn LP-only.
● If you see a GASOLINE FUEL tank and
one or more LP tanks, the SR has a
special gasoline engine set up to burn
either gasoline or LP.
Once you have de ter mined the type of en gine in -
stalled and the type of fuel you will burn you should
go to the cor re spond ing sub sec tion that ex plains
how to start that type en gine. Read the “Ta ble Of
Con tents” at the front of this man ual to see how the
dif fer ent sec tions and sub sec tions of this chap ter
are ar ranged.
