Use the equation that is in Table 34 to determine the
amount of Perkins SCA that is required, if necessary:
Table 34
Equation For Adding The SCA To The Heavy-Duty
Coolant For Maintenance
V × 0.014 = X
V is the total volume of the cooling system.
X is the amount of SCA that is required.
Table 35 is an example for using the equation that
is in Table 34.

Cleaning the System of Heavy-Duty
Antifreeze
Perkins cooling system cleaners are designed
to clean the cooling system of harmful scale
and corrosion. Perkins cooling system cleaners
dissolve mineral scale, corrosion products, light oil
contamination and sludge.
•
Clean the cooling system after used coolant is
drained or before the cooling system is
fi
lled with
new coolant.
•
Clean the cooling system whenever the coolant is
contaminated or whenever the coolant is foaming.

Diesel Fuel Requirements
Satisfactory engine performance is dependent on the
use of a good quality fuel. The use of a good quality
fuel will give the following results: long engine life and
acceptable exhaust emissions levels. The fuel must
meet the minimum requirements that are stated in
tables 36, 37 and 38.
