Taking care of a diesel engine is an important investment. By keeping parts in good shape, you save yourself the time associated with breakdowns and repairs and get to avoid the cost of expensive parts. Repairs on a diesel engine can be more difficult than those on your standard car.

You’ll need to give your engine special attention if you frequently expose it to rough environments, like extreme or varying temperatures, saltwater and particles such as dust or sand.

Responsible ownership of your diesel engine includes regularly cleaning and servicing it, as well as keeping parts updated and replacing them as needed. If you drive in a cold region, winterizing your engine will also be necessary.

Another benefit of treating your diesel engine right includes the ease of use that comes with it. You should see easier use in a truck that’s running on a clean, de-sledged engine, including a lack of hard startups. You may also see increased fuel economy, as your engine becomes more efficient and uses its fuel in better ways.

Daily Maintenance Schedule:

A daily inspection ensures that your engine continues to run smoothly. It prevents any unwanted surprises and helps you to watch and prepare for any building issues.

The first step is to check the overall condition. A simple visual inspection can enlighten you to any obvious issues such as leaks, corrosion, and cracks.

• • Check the exhaust for any leaks or excess heat coming out.
  • Check the fuel system for any cracks or abrasions.

If you find a leak, locate the source, which could be in multiple different components. An oil leak in an engine could be coming from degrading gaskets and oil pan leaks, among other areas such as seals and valves.

Check your levels daily as well, to avoid being unprepared, and to keep a close eye on any changes that could indicate a problem. In addition to making sure your supply is sufficient, check that they are in good condition without contaminants or discoloration. Some materials to keep an eye on include:

• • Coolant
  • Fuel
  • Oil

If you use intercoolers or coolant heaters, you’ll also want to check their condition as well. Ensure that there are no cracks or rips. marine diesel engine services.

1. 1. Clean the air filter. Some of the symptoms of a bad or dirty air filter include lower fuel economy, hard starts, vibration, black smoke from the exhaust and abnormal engine sounds. With normal conditions, an air filter should be replaced every 30,000 miles or so. Many drivers lump this task in with their oil change, but cleaning your filter may keep it flowing easier. You may be able to vacuum the filter or swish it around in water to clean it, giving it plenty of time to air dry.
   2. Drain water from the fuel tank. With a water separator, the water that doesn’t mix well with fuel drops to the bottom of the tank. In a diesel engine equipped with this, you’ll need to drain the water out regularly to avoid contaminated fuel. Be sure to catch the fuel in a container to watch what you’re draining.
