INJECTIoN SYSTEm: this procedure
must be carried out together with the
lubrication system protection proce-
dure.
• make sure there are no deposits or
sediments in the fuel tank.
• Prepare a mixture of diesel fuel com-
plying with the DIN EN 590 specifica-
tions, and Petronas DIESEL TmF PLUS
additive. The ratio must be at least
:400 ( litre of additive to 400 litres of
fuel). If you use Biodiesel (complying
with the UNI EN 14214 specifications),
it must be mixed with diesel fuel up to
5%;
Vm motori, however, recommends the
use of diesel without Biodiesel.
The use of any other fuel is forbidden.
• Fill the tank with this fuel mixture.
• Where relevant, check there is no
interference between the radiator fan
blades and the relative air duct.
Start up the engine and run it until it
reaches the right temperature for wa-
ter-cooled engines (about 70°- 80°C);
for air-cooled engines, run the engine
for about 20 (twenty) minutes.
• Drain the fuel tank.
• Check for any fluid leakage (and
make any necessary repairs).
• Switch off the engine and wait for it to
cool down.
SEAWATER SYSTEm (for marine
engines and on-board auxiliary units
only): this procedure must be carried
out together with the injection system
protection procedure.
• Connect the seawater intake of the
seawater pump to an auxiliary tank
English
R750EU5 - IE3 - TE4 - IE4 - ISE4
containing a mixture of 40% freshwater
and 60% Petronas Paraflu Up (protec-
tive radiator fluid with monoethylene
glycol and organic inhibitor formula-
tion complying with ASTm D 3306 type
Standards), making sure it seeps out
from the drainage point.
• Check for any fluid leakage (and
make any necessary repairs).
• Switch off the engine and wait for it to
cool down.
• Disconnect the engine from all the
components used for the test

Engines on pallets
After applying the anticorrosion
protection, the engine must be placed
in a dry, well-ventilated environment
and adequately covered. The covering
must be applied in such a way that air
can circulate around the engine, pre-
venting the formation of condensation.
-
Engines on vehicles
The vehicle must be stored so as to mi-
nimise exposure to atmospheric agents
