DIESEL
FUEL
Use
fuel
that
meets
the
requirements or specification of
Class
2-D
(ASTM),
and
has
a cetane rating of
#4S
or
better.
Care
Of
The
Fuel
Supply
Use
only
clean diesel
fuel!
The clearance of
the
components
in
your
fuel
injection
pump
is
very
critical; invisible dirt
particles
which
might
pass
through
the
filter
can
damage
these
finely
finished
parts.
It
is
important
to
buy
clean
fuel,
and
keep
it
clean. The best
fuel
can
be
rendered
unsatisfactory
by
careless handling or improper storage
facilities.
To
assure
that
the
fuel
going
into
the
tank
for
your
engine's daily
use
is
clean
and
pure,
the
following practice
is
advisable:
Purchase a well-known brand of
fuel.
The
use
of additives
to
combat BACTERIAL growth
in
the
fuel
tank
is
recom-
mended
such
as
Bio-Bor
and
an
additive
such
as
Diesel
Kleen
+ Cetane Boost
to
restore lubricity back
into
the
fuel
when
an
Ultra
Low
Sulfur diesel
is
being
used.
Install
and
regularly service a good, visual-type
fuel
filter/water separator between
the
fuel
tank
and
the
engine.
The
Raycor
SOO
MA
or 230
RMAM
are
good examples of
such
filters.
ENGINE
DlL
Use
a heavy duty diesel oil with
an
API
classification
of
CF,
CG-4, CH-4 or CI-4. Change the engine
oil
and filter
after the initial
SO
hours
of
break-in operation. Then follow
the
oil
and filter change intervals
as
specified
in
the
MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE
in
this manual.
The
use
of
synthetic oil
is
peonited ONLY after the initial
break-in period
of
SO
hours
of
engine operation has been
achieved.
A
CAUTION:
00
not
allow
two
or
more
brands
of
engine
011
to
mix.
Each
brand
contains
Its
own
additives;
additives
of
different
brands
could
react
in
the
mixture
to
produce
properties
harmful
to
your
engine.
SAE Oil Viscosity
Grades
For all temperature ranges:
SAE
lOW-30
or
SAE
ISW-40
ENGINE
COOLANT
WESTERBEKE recommends a mixture of
SO%
antifreeze
and
SO%
distilled
water.
Distilled water
is
free
from
the
chemicals that can corrode internal engine surfaces.
The
antifreeze perfoons double
duty.
It
allows
the engine
to
run
at proper temperatures
by
transfemng
heat
away
from
the
engine
to
the
coolant,
and
lubricates
and
protects
the
cooling circuit
from
rust
and
corrosion.
Look
for
a good
quality antifreeze that contains Supplemental Cooling
Additives
(SCAs)
that keep
the
antifreeze chemically
balanced, crucial
to
long teon protection.
The
distilled water
and
antifreeze should
be
premixed
before
being poured into
the
cooling circuit.
NOTE:
Look/or
the /lew environmelltallyjriendly long lasting
antifreeze that
is
now available.
PURCHASING
ANTIFREEZE
Rather
than
preparing
the
mixture, WESTERBEKE
recommends buying
the
premixed antifreeze
so
that
so
that
when
adding coolant
the
mixture
will
always
be
correct.
There are
two
common types of antifreeze, Ethylene
Glycol
(green)
and
Propylene Glycol (red/purple), either
can
be
used
but do
not
mix
the
two
and
if changing
from
one
to
another,
flush
the
engine thoroughly.
Premixed antifreeze for
DIESEL Engines:
Specification
#ASTM 053456.
MAINTENANCE
Change
the
engine coolant every
five
years
regardless of
the
number of operating hours
as
the
chemical additives
that
protect
and
lubricate
the
engine have a
limited
life.
COOLANT
RECOVERY
TANK
The
coolant recovery tank allows
for
the
expansion
and
contraction of
the
engines coolant
during
engine operation
without introducing
air
into
the
system. This recovery
tank
is
provided
with
fresh
water cooled
models
and
with
the
fresh
water coolant conversion kit
and
must
be
installed
before
operating
the
engine.
