3.2. Fills specification
3.2.3. Coolant
Use coolant consisting of 50% of frost-resistant ethyl
glycol agent and water according to Table all year-round
for the cooling system of the engine. Use the coolant with
antifreeze even in zones where temperatures do not fall
below -36 °C (-34 °F). The coolant is not only protecting
the cooling system against frost but increases also the
boiling point. Inhibitors contained in the antifreeze protect
parts of the engine cooling system and extend their life.
Propylene antifreeze may also be used as coolants.
Prepare coolant by mixing the antifreeze with water.
Use water in compliance with the criteria given in the table
for preparing the coolant:
The antifreeze must contain anticorrosive agents protect-
ing all materials (including rubber and head seals) of the
cooling system. They must be low siliceous and must
comply with testing criteria of ASTM 4985. The following
antifreeze may be used:
SUNOCO - PERMANENT ANTIFREEZE
SHELL - Glycoshell AF 511 S
TEXACO - HAVOLINE Antifreeze Coolant/AFC
CASTROL - ANTIFREEZE MB
! WARNING !
Do not use more than 50% of antifreeze
in the coolant, unless absolutely neces-
sary.
Never use a ratio higher than 68%.
Antifreeze is manufactured in different
bases.
Their mutual mixing is not recommend-
ed. Anti-corrosive properties may be lost
when mixing different types of coolants.
Nitric amines dangerous to health are
formed when mixing the nitride-base
antifreeze and the amine-base agent.
Check the ratio of antifreeze in the
coolant before wintertime using a refract
meter (hydrometer).
Do not use antifreeze aggressive to
aluminum - it may cause corrosion of the
radiator.
3.2.2. Fuel
Diesel is used as fuel:
•
CEN EN 590 or DIN/EN 590 (draft)
•
DIN 51 601 (February, 1986)
•
BS 2869 (1988): A1 and A2
•
ASTM D 975-88: 2-D
•
VV-F-800C: DF-A, DF-1 and DF-2
•
NATO code F-54 and F-75
NOTE
Environmental Agency recommends to use fuel with sul-
phur content less than 0.05 weight percent.
! WARNING !
Therefore use winter Diesel fuel at
outdoor temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).
Special Diesel fuel with additives intend-
ed for very low temperatures must be
used at outdoor temperatures below -15
°C (5 °F) (”super Diesel”).
