Product Storage
(Eng ine and Aftertre atment)
Perkins are not responsible for damage which may
occur when an engine is in storage after a period in
service.
Your Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor can
assist in preparing the engine for extended storage
periods.
Condition for S torage
Theenginemustbestoredinawaterproofbuilding.
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.
Storage Period
An engine can be stored for up to 6 months provided
all the recommendation are adhered to.
Storage Procedure
Keep a record of the procedure that has been
completed on the engine.
Note: Do not store an engine that has biodiesel in
the fuel system.
1. Ensure that the engine is clean and dry.
a. If the engine has been operated using biodiesel,
the system must be drained and new filters
installed. The fuel tank will require flushing.
b. Fill the fuel system with an ultra low sulfur fuel.
For more information on acceptable fuels refer
to this Operation and Maintenance Manual,
“Fluid recommendations”. Operate the engine
for 15 minutes in order to remove all biodiesel
from the system.
2. Drain any water from the primary filter water
separator. Ensure that the fuel tank is full.
3. The engine oil w
ill not need to be drained in
order to store the engine. Provided the correct
specification of engine oil is used the engine
canbestoredf
or up to 6 months. For the
correct specification of engine oil refer to this
Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Fluid
recommendat
ions”.
4. Remove the drive belt from the engine.
Sealed Coolant System
Ensure that
the cooling system is filled with Perkins
ELC, or an antifreeze that meets “ASTM D6210”
specification.
Open Cooling System
Ensure tha
t all cooling drain plugs have been
opened. Allow the coolant to drain. Install the drain
plugs. Place a vapor phase inhibitor into the system.
The coola
nt system must be sealed once the vapor
phase inhibitor has been introduced. The effect of the
vapor phase inhibitor will be lost if the cooling system
is open to
the atmosphere.
For maintenance procedures ref to this Operation
and Main
tenance Manual.
Aftertreatment
No special procedures are required. The exhaust
outlet of the aftertreatment should be capped. Before
storin
g, the engine and the aftertreatment must be
enclosedinacover.
Month
ly Checks
The crankshaft must be rotated in order to change
the sp
ring loading on the valve train. Rotate
the crankshaft more than 180 degrees. Visibly
check for damage or corrosion to the engine and
afte
rtreatment.
Ensure that the engine and aftertreatment are
cove
red completely before storage. Log the
procedure in the record for the engine.
