Selection of fuel, lubrication oil and coolant

This post will guide you to select the fuel, lubrication oil and coolant.

① Fuel

The fuel should be selected according to ambient temperature. The selection should comply with light Diesel Fuel(GB252 choice fuel and first class fuel).

Ambient temperature

② Oil

Lubricating oil should be selected according to the ambient condition. The class of oil should not be lower than CD class of GB11122–1997

Ambient temperature

③ Coolant

The coolant should be anti-freezing, especially when the engine is used in the plateau and in cold weather(below 0℃). It is good for the engine. The most used anti-freezer is glycol-water, which is a mixture of glycol and water( soft water is best. such as well water, spring water or other hard water, it should be mixed 2g tri-sodium phosphate with one liter water for softing). Selection of different proportionality coolant should vary with the ambient temperature.

Note:

When the percentage of the glycol is above 68%, its freezing point rises. So the percentage of the glycol should not be above 68% when you make up anti-freezer. Glycol is a transparent, viscid, poisonous liquid. Wash your skin with water immediately if it contacts your skin. Glycol is flammable. So, do not weld or light fire when there is coolant leakage.

When there is an emergency, anti-freeze can be replaced by soft water, such as tap water and rain water. Otherwise there will be scale on the wall of water jackets of diesel engine and the deposit will weaken cooling effect and cause the engine to over heat.
