Preparing the engine for storage
Preservative oil
Suitable preservative oils are supplied by most
oil companies. Example: Dinitrol 40 or equiva-
lent.
Preparations for storage
Use a container to avoid spillage when draining
the oil, coolant and reductant. Dispose of used
fluids through an authorised waste disposal con-
tractor.
1.
Drain and flush the cooling system. Top up
with preservative coolant.
2.
Warm up the engine on normal fuel. Stop the
engine and drain the oil.
3.
Renew the fuel filter.
4.
Fill the engine with preservative oil up to the
minimum level on the oil dipstick.
5.
Mix preservative fuel in a can. Detach the
fuel pipe at the feed pump suction line and
connect a hose from the can.
6.
Detach the fuel pipe at the overflow valve
and connect a return hose to the can.
7.
Start the engine and run it at about 1,000 rpm
for 20-25 minutes.
8.
Stop the engine, remove the hoses and con-
nect the normal fuel pipes.
9.
Remove the rocker covers and lubricate the
valve mechanisms with plenty of preserva-
tive oil. Refit the rocker covers.
Do not remove the injectors.
