Cleaning the System of Heavy-Duty
Antifreeze
Note: Before corrosion inhibitors can be effective the
cooling system must be free from rust, scale and
deposits.
• Drain the cooling system.
• Before filling the cooling system with acceptable
quality water, pre-dissolve the cleaning agent in
the water. Use a non-foaming detergent to clean
oil contamination, consult your Perkins dealer for
suitable product.
NOTICE
Most commercial cooling system cleaning agents are
corrosive and their use is not recommended by
Perkins.
The cooling system must be thoroughly flushed with
clean water after using cleaning agents.
Cleaning agents for marine or industrial cooling sys-
tem must not be used. These cleaning agents are
very aggressive and can cause damage to cooling
system components.
• Run the engine for approximately 30 minutes and
then leave the engine to cool down.
• Take a sample of the solution from the cooling
system, drain the system.
• Allow the sample to sit for at least 30 minutes and
check for signs of oil and deposits. If oil and
deposits are still present, repeat the procedure.
• Flush the system with clean water.
• Fill the system with new coolant.

Diesel Fuel Requirements
Perkins is not in a position to continuously evaluate
and monitor all worldwide distillate diesel fuel
specifications that are published by governments and
technological societies.
The "Perkins Specification for Distillate Diesel Fuel"
provides a known reliable baseline to judge the
expected performance of distillate diesel fuels that
are derived from conventional sources.
Satisfactory engine performance depends 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
the table 17 .
