Hi Ray, just keep at least 1/2 tank of fuel if you have steep hills. Another tip is to put some Diesel fuel conditioner or about a tablespoon of motor oil in the fuel tank everytime you add Diesel fuel. Reason the Bosch injection pump has a lip seal on the pump drive shaft and the only lubrication is from the Diesel fuel. This worked well until the new EPA rules reduced the sulphur content of Diesel fuel and this reduced the lubricating ability of Diesel fuel. If this lip seal fails you end up with Diesel fuel in the crankcase oil. The part is only about $8 but it takes a couple hours to change plus a cranckcase oil change. Good luck with the 484. JB2
