Properties of Fully Formulated Coolant (Glycol + Additive + Water): Also commonly referred as Anti-freeze, most of the customers know that it is for use in cold countries. This is a misconception of the Anti-Freeze properties, as it provides Anti-Boil and corrosion protection too! It raises boil point over that of water; and lowers the freeze point. In the area of raising the boil point, it should be understood that once the coolant exceeds its boil point, coolant contact at the heat rejection surface is broken and heat rejection rate is reduced. The resulting hot spot can cause cracking of the head (particularly at the exhaust valve seat region) due to extreme temperature variations, associated expansion and contraction differences. Localized corrosion can easily elevate at the steam hot spot especially when considering all the factors for corrosion are in place like heat, water vapour and other corrosive agents.

Benefits of Glycol is that it has less surface tension than plain water and when mixed with water at 50%, it basically makes water more wet. In the engine cooling system this “wetting agent” effect provides much improved carry-over of the chemical additive (DCA4) to penetrate into the metal surface and carry out the transformation from a soft exposed surface to a hard and less penetrable surface. Glycols, while being slightly heavier than water, are completely soluble and mixes well. And since it is slightly heavier, it works a bit like a shock absorber fluid and sees to it that the coolant has a better dampening effect on the bubble imploding shockwaves caused by cavitations. Glycol is an important chemical to mix with the coolant at 40%-60%. For more information, refer to Cummins Service Bulletin 3666132-04. Fleetguard Fully Formulated Coolant are such as:

1. ES Compleat EG — Ethylene Glycol based. 2. PG Plus — Propylene Glycol based, low toxicity protecting the environment

Led by Khun Surasak and his sales team. The project covered more than 200 participants from the different segments of Port, Mining, Construction, Cement, Marine and Rail. They were convinced that Fleetguard’s Coolant products and its easy maintenance process, will help in the long term protection of the fleet and will also save costs in the long run. The Water Chek, 3-Way Test kit and Quik Chek demonstration help customers have a more concrete understanding of ES Compleat and proves the reliability and quality of the product. Fleetguard Fully Formulated Coolant provides a total solution to support a fleet of machines. It also provides protection against corrosion, deposits and scaling, cavitation corrosion and plugging in the cooling system. It is easy to use and environmentally friendly. “It is not only a coolant but it also helps me to save cost.” a loyal customer said. ■

TECHNICAL FLASH Severe Driving

Today, motorists are driving vehicles where preventative maintenance is even more critical than ever before. It is important for anyone who wants to get the maximum service from their vehicle to read the owner's manual carefully, particularly the preventative maintenance recommendations. These recommendations should be followed. If, by any chance, a customer has purchased a used vehicle and does not have an owner's manual, the manufacturer should be able to supply one. Of course, one must understand what is being read in the owner's manual. Over the years, the emphasis in most manuals has been extended service intervals, in order to make the vehicle as "maintenance-free" as possible. It is for this reason the preventative maintenance schedules should be followed to the letter, and the vehicle owner understands the differences in service requirements. For instance, for a number of years, most new vehicle owners' manuals have recommended oil changes every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) or 12 months, and oil filter changes at the first oil change and thereafter at every second oil change, or at 15,000 mile (24,000 km) intervals

for "normal" service. For diesel and turbocharged engines, the owners' manuals recommend more frequent oil and filter changes. For "severe" service, the owners' manuals recommend an oil change every 3,000 miles (5,000 km) and an oil filter change with every oil change. This is the interval also recommended by the Filter Manufacturers Council and the American Petroleum Institute. However, what the owners' manuals call "normal" operating conditions are really ideal conditions, mostly long highway trips rather than around-town driving. According to a survey done by a member company of the Filter Manufacturers Council, only about 20 percent of vehicles are regularly driven under "normal" conditions. That means that 4 out of 5 drivers are in the "severe" driving category. But no one likes to think of themselves as a severe driver. You might want to call the two categories "ideal" and "average" rather than the "normal" and "severe" titles used in the owners' manuals. Since 80 percent of motorists drive under less than ideal conditions, the "average" title is certainly justified. Severe (or average) service, as defined in most owners' manuals, includes trips of less than four miles (6 km), particularly in cold weather. Under these conditions, the engine does not warm up

TECHNICAL FLASH (cont’d) completely, causing moisture to accumulate in the crankcase. Every time the engine is started, the oil is contaminated with blow-by soot, raw gasoline and condensed moisture. Unless the engine gets regular extended highway travel, these contaminants remain in the oil. After 3,000 miles (5,000 km) of "severe" - or "average" - driving, the oil can be saturated with foreign substances. Within the same time period, the additive package may be depleted. The additives account for 20 percent of each can of premium quality oil, and include various chemical detergents, dispersants, anti-oxidants, viscosity improvers, and corrosion inhibitors. Although the oil does not wear out, the additives do. Unless they are replenished, the oil cannot properly function in today's internal combustion engines. Trips of less than four miles (6 km) is the key factor in keeping most motorists in the average or "severe" category. In most owner's manuals the following are considered "severe" or average conditions:

• Frequent idling for long periods of time, such as stop-and-go driving in heavy traffic. Many vehicles are subjected to this condition twice a day in commuting to major cities.

• Sustained highway driving in hot weather, such as vacation travel.

• Towing a boat or trailer, carrying heavy objects on a rooftop rack.

• Driving in dusty conditions, such as over dirty or gravel roads, or where volcanic ash is blowing around.

• Prolonged operation at sub-zero temperatures.

• Driving on steep hills or mountains on a regular basis.

Bear in mind that any one of the above conditions can make it mandatory to change oil and filter at 3,000 mile (5,000 km) or three-month intervals. If one does not know which kind of driving, average or ideal, they do the most, we recommend changing at average intervals. Like most preventive maintenance the oil and filter change is a form of insurance. In addition to the contaminants produced by engine operation, dirt can get into the crankcase and metal particles can flake off internal engine parts and bearings. The purpose of the oil change is to remove the harmful contaminants that have accumulated in the crankcase and to replace the depleted additive package in the used oil. The oil filter should be changed every time the oil is changed because up to 3/4 of a quart (3/4 of a liter) of used oil remains in the filter when only the oil is changed. This contaminated oil immediately mixes with the clean oil and contaminates it. It is cheap insurance to make each change a complete one with both new oil and filter. If one wants to keep their vehicles long term maintenance costs low, there's no better place to start than by scheduling regular oil and filter changes. Other preventive maintenance is recommended on the same basis, plus the necessity of checking oil and other fluid levels frequently. We have seen many vehicles where basic checks have been neglected, with the result the vehicles are seriously low on engine oil, brake fluid, automatic transmission fluid, battery electrolyte and other fluids. Such vehicles are not likely to give extra years of service. Please dispose of used oil and filters properly. ■
