Systems Operation Section
Environment
When possible, the service area should be positively
pressurized in order to ensure that the components
are not exposed to contamination from airborne dirt
and debris. When a component is removed from
the system, the exposed fuel connections must be
closed off immediately with suitable sealing plugs.
The sealing plugs should only be removed when
the component is reconnected. The sealing plugs
must not be reused. Dispose of the sealing plugs
immediately after use. Contact your nearest Perkins
dealer or your nearest approved Perkins distributor in
order to obtain the correct sealing plugs.
New Components
High pressure lines are not reusable. New high
pressure lines are manufactured for installation in
one position only. When a high pressure line is
replaced, do not bend or distort the new line. Internal
damage to the pipe may cause metallic particles to
be introduced to the fuel.
All new fuel filters, high pressure lines, tube
assemblies and components are supplied with
sealing plugs. These sealing plugs should only
be removed in order to install the new part. If
the new component is not supplied with sealing
plugs then the component should not be used.
The technician must wear suitable rubber gloves.
The rubber gloves should be disposed of immediately
after completion of the repair in order to prevent
contamination of the system.
Refueling
In order to refuel the diesel fuel tank, the refueling
pump and the fuel tank cap assembly must be clean
and free from dirt and debris. Refueling should take
place only when the ambient conditions are free
from dust, wind and rain. Only use fuel, free from
contamination, that conforms to the specifications
in the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fluid
Recommendations" Fuel Specifications.
