How do I reset the YANMAR 4TNE94/4TNE98/4TNE106/4TNE106T fuel system after running out of diesel?
To bleed the fuel system after running out of diesel, first check the fuel tank and replenish if insufficient. Then, open the cocks of the oil/water separator and fuel filter, loosen the air bleeding bolt at the top of the oil/water separator by turning it 2-3 times with a screwdriver. Continue sending fuel with the fuel feeding pump until the fuel coming out of the air bleeding hole is clear and not mixed with bubbles, then tighten the air bleeding bolt.
What are the replacement specifications for fuel filter?
The fuel filter element replacement interval is every 500 hours. The part code for direct injection models (4TNE94, 4TNE98) is 119000-55600, and for 4TNE106 and 4TNE106T it is 119005-35100. For 4TNE94 swirl pre-combustion models, the part code is 129901-55850.
What is the engine lube oil capacity for the YANMAR 4TNE94 (Direct injection) engine?
For the YANMAR 4TNE94 (Direct injection) engine, the full lube oil capacity is 9.4 liters, with an effective capacity of 4.4 liters. It is important to fill the oil to the upper limit on the dipstick gauge.
