Coolant fluid

The preparation and monitoring of coolant in inter-cooled engines

is especially important because corrosion, cavitation and freezing

can lead to engine damage. Use as coolant a mixture of a cool-

ing system protective liquid (anti-freeze, ethylene glycol based)

and tap water.

In tropical climates, where anti-freeze availability may be limited,

use a corrosion inhibitor to protect the engine cooling system.

The concentration of the cooling system protective liquid in the

coolant should not fall below/exceed the following limits:

The protective liquid concentration must be maintained under all

circumstances. Therefor if coolant must be added always use the

same mixture of anti-freeze and tap water.

Water quality for coolant preparation

Use preferably tap water.

If an other available fresh water is used; the values given below

must not be exceeded.

Never use sea-water or brackish water.

Cooling system protective liquids must be disposed of in accord-

ance with environmental regulations.
