This is very good advice. One issue I have is the units tarring up and will not start up due to low or no compression. Most lift truck fuel in this area does not have the HD-5 fuel additive. A couple of ounces of ATF ,let set overnight and they usually crank right up. Smokes like crazy for a couple of minutes but it works. The fuel "cracks" causing the tar build up around. the valves. This normally happens to units with 12 to 14,000 hours.
