A-2B.
FUEL SPECIFICATIONS
No. 2 fuel oil and No. 2D diesel fuel are recommended for use in Diesel Engines. In extreme
cold temperatures use No. 1 fuel oil or No.1 D diesel fuel.
In selecting a fuel, note that distillate fuels are especially desirable because the fuel is heated
to a vaporous state and condensed, thus eliminating all sediment and residue.
A-2C. COOLANT SPECIFICATIONS
Water used in the jacket water cooling system should be clean, and as free as possible from
scale forming minerals or corrosive chemicals. Artificially softened water should not be used.
Treating the water with Coolant Inhibitor, or equivalent will help prevent the formation of rust
and pitting. It will also retard, and in some cases completely eliminate, mineral deposits in
the engine.
The most efficient and satisfactory corrosion protection for the cooling system is to maintain
proper level of coolant inhibitor and antifreeze solution. The use of auxiliary water filters is
not recommended.
During freezing weather use the proper permanent type antifreeze and water solution to
prevent freezing.
Before placing the engine in operation, make sure a 3% concentration of Corrosion Inhibitor
has been added to the cooling system. This 3% concentration must be maintained in cooling
systems which are filled with water and systems protected with ethylene glycol antifreeze
mixture, regardless of antifreeze concentration.
WARNING: Inhibitors contain alkali. Avoid contact with eyes. To prevent personal in-
jury, avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.
