Product Storage
Perkins are not responsible for damage which may
occur when an engine is in storage after a period in
service.
Your Perkins distributor can help with preparing the
engine for extended storage periods.
Condition for Storage
The engine must be stored in a water proof building.
The building must be kept at a constant temperature.
Engines that are filled with Perkins ELC will have
coolant protection to an ambient temperature of
−36° C (−32.8° F). The engine must not be subjected
to extreme variations in temperature and humidity.
The engine has to be prepared in the following order:
• Air
• Coolant
• Lubricant
Engines must be kept in Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor
(VCI) bags during storage. Periodically check the bag
for damage. If bag is damaged, install a new bag or
new bags.
