Maintenance Instructions of SC27G Diesel Engine

In the part one of Shangchai SC27G diesel engine maintenance , we have already known how to st the detailed maintenance plan and task and methods of engine maintenance, such as checking engine periphery, checking fuel tank, checking air filter service indicator, checking oil level and so on. In this post, we are going to learn more instructions about engine maintenance like checking drive belt, cooling system, adding grease, belt tension and changing engine oil and oil filter. 5.3.8 Checking drive belt Perform visual check on the drive belt everyday for any intersecting cracks. Transverse cracks along the width direction of the belt are acceptable, while longitudinal cracks (along the length direction) that intersect with transverse cracks are not allowed. If any wear or abrasion occurs, replace it. 5.3.9 Checking cooling fan Perform visual check on the cooling fan for crack, loose rivet or blade bent or any other defect. The fan should be installed reliably....

Time To Change Oil On Your Engine

Learn the Good Things About Diesel Engine

There are many benefits that a diesel engine can bring to users and the machine. Comparing to the gas engine, diesel engine  is more preferred by users. Why diesel engine is so popular? Read this post and you will know. Diesel cars justifiably have a great reputation for excellent fuel economy and low impact on the environment.  This essentially is a result of the diesel operating cycle being thermodynamically more efficient than the petrol engine.  Put more simply, more energy is converted into useful work and less energy in the form of heat which is transmitted to the cooling system and subsequently to the atmosphere.  This means that a diesel engine in a similar sized vehicle is much more fuel efficient in terms of kilometres per litre than a petrol engine. This characteristic of higher thermodynamic efficiency with less heat going into the cooling system means that a diesel engine takes longer to reach the most efficient operating tempera...
