12 When a preservative fuel is to be used, drain the fuel system and fill it with the preservative fuel. If
preservative fuel is not used, the system can be completely filled with normal fuel but the fuel must be drained
and discarded at the end of the storage period together with the fuel filter canister.

14 Seal the vent pipe of the fuel tank or the fuel filler cap with waterproof tape.
Every month, the crankshaft must be rotated in order to change the spring loading on the valve train. Rotate
the crankshaft more than 180 degrees. Visibly check for damage or corrosion to the engine.
If the engine protection is done correctly according to the above recommendations, no corrosion damage will
normally occur. Perkins are not responsible for damage which may occur when an engine is in storage after a
period in service.
Parts and service
If problems occur with your engine or with the components fitted onto it, your Perkins distributor can make the

distributors. If special training is necessary, your Perkins distributor can advise you how to obtain it at the
Perkins Customer Training Department, Peterborough, or other main centres.
