Product Storage
(Engine and Aftertreatment)
Perkins are not responsible for damage which may
occur when an engine is in storage after a period in
service.
Your Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor can
assist in preparing the engine for extended storage
periods.
Condition for Storage
The engine must be stored in a water proof building.
The building must be kept at a constant temperature.
Engines that are filled with Perkins ELC will have
coolant protection to an ambient temperature of
−36° C (−32.8° F). The engine must not be subjected
to extreme variations in temperature and humidity.
Storage Period
An engine can be stored for up to 6 months provided
all the recommendation are adhered to.
Storage Procedure
Keep a record of the procedure that has been
completed on the engine.
Note: Do not store an engine that has biodiesel in the
fuel system.
1. Ensure that the engine is clean and dry.
a. If the engine has been operated using
biodiesel, the system must be drained and new
filters installed. The fuel tank will require
flushing.
b. Fill the fuel system with an ultra low sulfur fuel.
For more information on acceptable fuels refer
to this Operation and Maintenance Manual,
"Fluid recommendations". Operate the engine
for 15 minutes to remove all biodiesel from the
system.
2. Drain any water from the primary filter water
separator. Ensure that the fuel tank is full.

3. The engine oil will not need to be drained to store
the engine. Provided the correct specification of
engine oil is used the engine can be stored for up
to 6 months. For the correct specification of engine
i07818075
oil refer to this Operation and Maintenance
Manual, "Fluid recommendations".
4. Remove the drive belts from the engine.
Sealed Coolant System
Ensure that the cooling system is filled with Perkins
ELC, or an antifreeze that meets "ASTM D6210"
specification.
Open Cooling System
Ensure that all cooling drain plugs have been
opened. Allow the coolant to drain. Install the drain
plugs. Place a vapor phase inhibitor into the system.
The coolant system must be sealed once the vapor
phase inhibitor has been introduced. The effect of the
vapor phase inhibitor will be lost if the cooling system
is open to the atmosphere.
