Practices
The
efficiency
of
the
engine
can
affect
the
fuel
economy.
Perkins
design
and
technology
in
manufacturing
provides
maximum
fuel
efficiency
in
all
applications.
Follow
the
recommended
procedures
to
attain
optimum
performance
for
the
life
of
the
engine.
• Avoid spilling fuel.
Fuel expands when it is warmed up. The fuel may
overflow from the fuel tank. Inspect fuel lines for
leaks. Repair the fuel lines, as needed.
• Be aware of the properties of different fuels. Use
only the recommended fuels. Refer to the
Operations and Maintenance Manual, “Fuel
Recommendations” for further information.
• Avoid unnecessary idling.
Shut off the engine rather than allowing the engine to
idle for long periods of time.
• Observe the service indicator frequently. Keep the
air cleaner elements clean.
• Ensure that the turbocharger is operating
correctly. For more information refer to this
Operation and Maintenance Manual,
“Turbocharger - Inspect”
• Maintain a good electrical system.
One faulty battery cell will overwork the alternator.
This fault will consume excess power and excess
fuel.
• The belt should be in good condition. Refer to the
Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, “V-Belt
Test” for further information.
• Ensure that all the connections of the hoses are
tight. The connections should not leak.
• Ensure that the driven equipment is in good
working order.
• Cold engines consume excess fuel. Utilize heat
from the jacket water system and the exhaust
system, when possible. Keep cooling system
components clean and keep cooling system
components in good repair. Never operate the
engine without water temperature regulators. All
these items will help maintain operating
temperatures.
