Project Perisai (Shield) was launched in Indonesia last 7 July

2008 and was conducted in Banjamasin. Its main objective is to

educate the market about the extended functions of a coolant,

specifically Fleetguard's Fully Formulated Coolant which is

recommended by Cummins (please refer to Cummins Service

Bulletin - 3666132-04). More than just providing anti-freezing

protection in the radiator―it

also provides additional

protection against corrosion,

scaling and other major

potential damages to the

e n g i n e . A d d i t i o n a l l y ,

Fleetguard is easy to use with

i ts hassle- f ree service

maintenance procedures.

The seminar included events such as in-depth

products training and an introduction to using

the 6 Sigma methodology as a platform for

improving the process for product promotion that

will benefit end-customers. The key differences

in engine cooling system protection between

heavy-duty and light-duty operation was

included in the discussion as to prevent any

future error of using light-duty maintenance

regime on heavy-duty application.

In PT Altrak, a total of 29 participants from

various functions all over Indonesia (such as

Training Development, Service, Parts Logistics,

etc.) attended the Coolant Marketing Kit launch.

This team was lead by Mr Djoenaidi Soesanto

– the Manager of Parts Marketing. And the

Coolant Champion for PT Altrak Mr. Sarbaini

helped localize the products training to all the

employees of PT Altrak. This is a tremendous

feat considering that he has just undergone a

half-day direct product training with the CF

Singapore staff!

The week-long launch ended with an on-site

visitation (photo on the left) to fully understand

the actual requirements of the end customers

which provided valuable advice for future

improvements in our cooling system service

maintenance program to the customers. ■

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SEMINAR

• Identifying the common engine failure issues such as water pump impeller pitting, liner pitting, deposits & scaling, metal corrosion, cavitation corrosion and plugging.

• Discussing the benefits of Fleetguard with its easy 3-step maintenance sys-tem.

• Cummins recommendation on the use of Fully Formulated Coolants since it meets the ASTM D6210/The Mainte-nance Council RP 329 (ethylene glycol) and The Maintenance Council RP 330 (propylene glycol) specifications.

• An introduction to using the 6 Sigma methodology.

• Key differences in engine cooling sys-tem between heavy-duty and light-duty engines.

Light Duty Diesel Engine Service

A diesel engine operates differently than a

gasoline engine and, therefore, different service

and maintenance practices must be followed.

In a gasoline engine the combustion process

occurs at constant volume. This process is

characteristic of the spark ignition, or Otto cycle.

The combustion process of the diesel engine

occurs at constant pressure. This process is

characteristic of the compression ignition or

diesel cycle. A gasoline engine requires spark

plugs to ignite the air/fuel mixture, whereas the

diesel engine's air/fuel mixture is burned by the

heat caused by compression.

The diesel engine operates at higher

compression ratios than does the gasoline

engine and burns low volatile fuels. Fuel injection

is a requirement of the diesel engine since the

fuel enters the combustion chamber near the end

of the compression stroke. A gasoline engine can

run with a carburetor system or injection system.

Careful maintenance of the lube, air induction,

and fuel systems is a must for diesel engines.

There are several factors unique to diesel

engines that affect service considerations. The

combustion process allows the use of a variety of

fuels. These fuels are "less refined" than gasoline

and, therefore, are more unstable. Cold

temperatures can produce wax precipitates that

will plug fuel filters (TSB 91-1R2). Water is more

prone to be present in diesel fuels and, if not

removed, can easily damage injection systems.

Micro-organisms and water can cause filter

plugging and corrosion problems (TSB 95-1R1).

Fuel filtration is of prime importance for diesel

engines. The filters must be high efficiency units

specifically designed for diesel service.

Maintenance must be followed regularly to maintain

a smooth and reliable running system. Fuel filters

for diesel service cannot be treated with the

complacency given filters in gasoline service.

Water should be removed at a point before the

injectors. Some fuel filters combine water removal

features and filtration features in the same package.

Diesel fuel systems from process, to storage tanks,

to engines, traditionally contain much more water

than gasoline systems. Water is a definite problem in

diesel fuels and it must be coped with.

Low temperatures tend to precipitate wax in

diesel fuels. In order to get the fuel to flow

through filters correctly, it is

generally heated in the fuel

system of the engine.

Certain lube oils are specifically

designed for diesel service. The

combustion process, blow-by

products and engine loads are

different in a diesel engine, as

compared to a gasoline engine.

The lube oil, therefore, must do a

specific and different job,

depending on whether it is used

in diesel or gasoline service.

The American Petroleum Institute (API) has

developed a classification system for engine lube

oils. The classification system covers various

categories based on engine age, type and

service. Any oil carrying an API designation

guarantees the fact that oil has met the

specification requirements for its intended

service. When servicing a diesel engine, the

proper API designated oil must be used.

During the combustion of diesel fuel a great

amount of soot is generated. Some of the soot

gets into the lubricating oil with the blow-by

gases. This is the type of material that tends to

plug oil filters.

Acids tend to form in diesel lube systems, caused

by the combustion process and type of fuel

burned. These, too, can shorten the life of oil

filters as well as cause corrosive wear.

Raw fuel is more apt to get into the lube oil in

diesel systems as compared to gasoline systems.

The fuel dilutes the oil and affects its lubricity

properties.

The importance of lube system

service is apparent. Specified

service intervals, in fact, are

usually shorter than those for

gasoline engines. Considering

severe driving conditions such as

short trips, long idle times and

extreme engine loads, one can

readily see the need for regular

lube system service.

The air filter requirements for

diesel engines are similar to those

for gasoline engines. The dirt,

dust and grit must be removed from the air

stream before it gets into the combustion

chamber. If the diesel system is turbo charged,

then more frequent air filter service intervals

should be considered.

Light duty diesel engine service requirements are

different than those for gasoline engines. Owner's

manual recommended services should be

followed very closely. If severe driving conditions

exist, service intervals should be shortened. As

with the gasoline engine, proper service and

maintenance practices should be followed. ■
