Other Diesel Engine Options:
The importance of purchasing the right engine is essential in this type of industry. Diesel Engines are variable because of the power and fuel efficiency. They are not only more and more environmentally friendly, but they also require low maintenance from the consumer. Will they be more popular than gas engines someday?
Here are a few tips to go over when considering purchasing a Diesel Engine.
Diesel Engines are equipped with a turbo-charger. This forces the air into the engine and increases performance. These engines are powerful and have clean air that enters the turbo-charger. Therefore it is important to take care of the engine and their parts. Air filters must be changed on time or you can damage the engine. Your equipment should have sensors that warn you about this. When the lights come on to change them, it is imperative to do so in a timely fashion or you could burn out the engine. They need to be changed more often then in gas vehicles.
Diesel Engines are less pure then gasoline and contains water. Most Diesel Engines are equipped with water/fuel separators. You need to purge this water from time to time, but most mechanics will do so when your vehicle needs a tune up.
Check your Diesel Engines Oil. Make sure to check the oil level as it typically burns some of the engine’s lubricating oil during normal operation. It is important to check the oil between oil changes as well. Make sure when checking the oil, the engine has cooled for 30 minutes.
Diesel Engines have a break-in period. This usually lasts around 500 to 1000 miles. Try to limit your long highway trips during this time frame. Also, do not tow or haul during this time frame. Your engine will continually improve its power and efficiency for the next 30,000 miles.
Always review your owners manual. There are a lot of normal maintenance that as an owner you should keep in mind. The air and fuel filters levels need to be watched and changed at appropriate times. Also if you are going to leave your Diesel Engine in the below zero temperatures, remember to plug-in the block heater.
