Probably a dumb question, but where do you put diesel on a Kobelco excavator?

[USVeteran]

I'm new around excavators and got put on a Kobelco (not 100% sure on the model). I don't want to be that guy dumping fuel in the wrong place. Where's the diesel fill usually located on these machines? Is it always on the same side, or does it change by model/year?

Any tips or "watch out for this" advice when fueling would be appreciated. Trying to learn and not mess anything up.

No worries-on most Kobelcos, the diesel fill is usually on the left side of the machine near the engine compartment, but double-check the fuel cap label before filling. Always keep the area clean, and don't force the nozzle,,it should click in easily.
