2.6 Procedures to Prevent Fire
Good engine maintenance will help to prevent a fire in the scavenge air spaces. The
data that follow will also help to prevent fire:
1) Make sure that the injection nozzles are serviceable (i.e. the spray from the
nozzles must come out correctly).
2) Do regular inspections of the air and gas pipes.
3) Regularly clean the the air and gas pipes.
4) Dirty oil from the piston underside must always drain through the dirty oil outlet.
5) Use your hand to feel the drain pipes. If there is a blockage, a drain pipe will have
a temperature difference. You must clean the related drain pipe as soon as
possible.
