Note: If the engine crankcase is full, drain enough
engine oil so the mixture can be added.
6. Remove the air filter elements. Turn the engine at
cranking speed. Use a sprayer to add a mixture of
50 percent VCI oil and 50 percent engine oil into
the air inlet or turbocharger inlet.
Note: The mixture can be added to the inlet by
removing the plug on the air inlet elbow on the left
side of the engine. The minimum application rate for
the VCI oil mixture is 5.5 mL per L
(3 oz per 1000 cu in) of engine displacement.
7. Use a sprayer to apply a mixture of 50 percent VCI
oil and 50 percent crankcase oil into the exhaust
openings. The minimum application rate for the oil
mixture is 5.5 mL per L (3 oz per 1000 cu in) of
engine displacement. Seal the exhaust pipe and
seal any drain holes in the muffler.
8. Remove, empty, and reinstall the spin-on fuel filter
element to remove any dirt and water.
Remove, empty, and clean the primary fuel filter.
Fill with calibration fluid or kerosene. Install the
primary fuel filter and operate the priming pump.
This procedure will send the fluid to the secondary
filter and the engine.
Open the fuel tank drain valve to drain any water
and dirt from the fuel tank. Apply a spray of
calibration fluid or kerosene at the rate of
30 mL per 30 L (1 oz per 7.50 gal US) of fuel tank
capacity to prevent rust in the fuel tank. Add
0.15 mL per L (.02 oz per 1 gal US) of commercial
biocide such as Biobor JF to the fuel. Refer to
“Perkins Diesel Engines Fluids
Recommendations”M0113102 for more
information.
Apply a small amount of oil to the threads on the
fuel tank filler neck and install the cap. Seal all
openings to the tank to prevent evaporation of the
fuel and as a preservative.
9. Remove the fuel injectors. Apply 30 mL (1 oz) of
the mixture of oils (50 percent VCI oil and 50
percent engine oil) into each cylinder.
Use a bar or a turning tool to turn over the engine
slowly. This procedure puts the oil on the cylinder
walls. Install all fuel injectors and tighten to the
correct torque. Refer to Disassembly and
Assembly Manual for more information.
10. Spray a thin amount of a mixture of 50 percent
VCI oil and 50 percent engine oil onto the following
components: flywheel, ring gear teeth, and starter
pinion. Install the covers to prevent evaporation of
the vapors from the VCI oil.
11. Apply a heavy amount of Multipurpose Grease to
all outside parts that move, such as rod threads,
ball joints, linkage.
Note: Install all covers. Ensure that tape has been
installed over all openings, air inlets, exhaust
openings, the flywheel housing, the crankcase
breathers, the dipstick tubes.
Ensure that all covers are airtight and
weatherproof. Use a waterproof weather resistant
tape such as Kendall No. 231 or an equivalent. Do
not use duct tape. Duct tape will only seal for a
short time.
12. Under most conditions, removing the batteries is
the best procedure. Place the batteries in storage.
As needed, periodically charge the batteries while
the batteries are in storage.
If the batteries are not removed, wash the tops of
the batteries until the tops are clean. Apply an
electrical charge to the batteries to obtain a
specific gravity of 1.225.
Disconnect the battery terminals. Place a plastic
cover over the batteries.
13. Remove the drive belts from the engine
14. Place a waterproof cover over the engine. Ensure
that the engine cover is secure. The cover should
be loose enough to allow air to circulate around
the engine to prevent damage from condensation.
15. Attach a tag with the storage date to the engine.
16. Remove the waterproof cover at 2 month or 3
month intervals to check the engine for corrosion.
If the engine has signs of corrosion, repeat the
protection procedure.
Coolant System
Completely fill the cooling system before storage.
Refer to “Perkins Diesel Engines Fluids
Recommendations”M0113102 for more information
about coolants.
Remove Engine from Storage
1. Remove all outside protective covers.
2. Change the oil and filters.
