4.  Diesel Fuel Additive 

The use of diesel fuel additive is strongly recommended on Shire engines.  The quality of the 

fuel available when cruising is often unknown.  Also the fuel may have been in storage for 

long periods of time.  The use of additives will ensure that your engine fuel injection system 

is in top condition which should result in many years of smooth reliable operation, without the 

cost and inconvenience of expensive breakdowns due to poor quality fuel.  It has also been 

found that improvements in fuel consumption and start ability are an added benefit of using 

this  product.  Diesel  fuel  additive  is  available  from  your  Shire  dealer  in  a  handy  500ml 

container, Part Number RDG80210219. 

5.  Engine Overheat Protection 

To  prevent  engine  damage,  if  the  coolant  temperature  is  too  high  then  the  engine  will 

automatically  sense  this  and  stop.  Before  investigating  the  cause  of  the  problem  let  the 

engine cool down. Once the problem has been rectified the engine can be restarte
