INJECTION SYSTEM: this procedure 
must be carried out together with the 
lubrication system protection proce-
dure.
• Make sure there are no deposits or 
sediments in the fuel tank.
• Prepare a mixture of diesel fuel com-
plying with the DIN EN 590 specica-
tions, and Petronas DIESEL TMF PLUS 
additive. The ratio must be at least 
1:400 (1 litre of additive to 400 litres of 
fuel). If you use Biodiesel (complying 
with the UNI EN 14214 specications), 
it must be mixed with diesel fuel up to 
5%; 
VM Motori, however, recommends the 
use of diesel without Biodiesel.
 The use of any other fuel is forbidden.
• Fill the tank with this fuel mixture.
• Where relevant, check there is no 
interference between the radiator fan 
blades and the relative air duct. 
Start up the engine and run it until it 
reaches the right temperature for wa-
ter-cooled engines (about 70°- 80°C); 
for air-cooled engines, run the engine 
for about 20 (twenty) minutes.
• Drain the fuel tank.
• Check for any uid leakage (and 
make any necessary repairs).
• Switch off the engine and wait for it to 
cool down.
SEAWATER SYSTEM (for marine 
engines and on-board auxiliary units 
only): this procedure must be carried 
out together with the injection system 
protection procedure.
• Connect the seawater intake of the 
seawater pump to an auxiliary tank 
containing a mixture of 40% freshwater 
and 60% Petronas Parau Up (protec-
tive radiator uid with monoethylene 
glycol and organic inhibitor formula-
tion complying with ASTM D 3306 type 
1 Standards), making sure it seeps out 
from the drainage point.
• Check for any uid leakage (and 
make any necessary repairs).
• Switch off the engine and wait for it to 
cool down. 
• Disconnect the engine from all the 
components used for the test
3) STORAGE CONDITIONS
-  Engines on pallets
After applying the anticorrosion 
protection, the engine must be placed 
in a dry, well-ventilated environment 
and adequately covered. The covering 
must be applied in such a way that air 
can circulate around the engine, pre-
venting the formation of condensation.
-  Engines on vehicles
The vehicle must be stored so as to mi-
nimise exposure to atmospheric agents
