1.5 FUEL, LUBRICANT AND COOLANTS

Fuels:
At very low temperature the fluidity of the diesel
becomes insufficient due to paraffin separation.
Care should be taken that the diesel and
supplementary fuels are thoroughly mixed before
filling. The fuel filters are to be drained out
thoroughly before refilling. The ratios for mixing of
supplementary fuel and diesel fuel are shown in
the table:

At low temperature, the correct mixture has better

18

TATA 697 TCIC CEV BS III

operation, the entire fuel system should be drained
and filled with the recommended mixture. Care
should be taken that the diesel and supplementary
fuels are thoroughly mixed before filling. The fuel
filters should be drained out thoroughly before
refilling.
HS-Diesel oils recommended for use on TATA
diesel engines conform to following specifications
IS 1460, DIN 51601 or equivalent.
Do not mix kerosene with diesel as a cost reducing
measure. This mixture has poor lubricating
properties. It causes faster wear and tear of fuel
injection equipment components under normal
operating conditions. Cleanliness of the fuel
influences the efficiency and life of the fuel filters
and fuel injection equipment.
It is, therefore, more economical to fill clean fuel
into the tank. All precautions should be taken to
ensure that no dirt enters the tank while filling the
fuel.
Lubricants:
The lubrication oils for engine are required to be of
lower viscosity. Recommendations for the same
are as under. The recommended types of engine
oils and the range of ambient temperatures at
which these can be used are given in the following
table.
Engine oil grade
SAE 15W 40

Ambient Temperature C

SAE 10W 30
SAE 5W

-20 to 0
20 -10 and below

Please use only recommended brands of oil for

getting optimum engine performance and life.
There are several brands of lubricating oils in the
market. Only some of these oils have been
approved by us for use in TATA 697 TCIC engine.
The lubricating oils approved by us conform to
following specifications: SAE API CH4 and MB
228.3 engine oils.
The recommended oils have certain vital properties
that help to reduce the wear and tear of the
components.
We have tested these oils for thousands of hours
in similar conditions, your equipment is likely to
encounter.
The optimum period of use for each oil filling has
been carefully determined. Therefore, always use
only the approved oil. Strictly adhere to the engine
oil and oil filter cartridge change period specified
by us. The engine oil should be replaced at every

500 hours of operation along with the engine oil

filter. The oils of two different specifications should
not be mixed. Do not use reclaimed oils even for
topping up. They have already lost their vital
properties. The adverse effect using reclaimed oil
will not be seen immediately, but the life of the
components will be greatly reduced. It is difficult to
recognize poor quality oil. Therefore, buy the
recommended brands in sealed tins only from
authorized dealers.
Coolants:
Presence of dirt in coolant chokes-up radiator,
water passages in cylinder head and crankcase,
thereby causing overheating of engine. To prevent
rust formation and freezing of water inside water
jackets of crankcase and cylinder head mix
antifreeze agent as recommended. Use the
mixture of clean soft water and antifreeze agent in
the ratio of 50:50 for changing coolant in the
cooling system and also for topping up.
Recommended antifreeze agents
Tata Motors Super Kool (Bharat Petroleum)
Castrol Long Life Coolant (Castrol)
Certain precautions have to be taken to enable the
cooling system to function properly at very low
ambient temperatures. To attain the recommended
working temperature of the engine faster, it is
necessary to use a radiator blind. In view of the
grave risk of damage due to frost, the cooling
system of the engine should be filled with
recommended quantity of antifreeze agent. Use
the mixture of clean soft water and antifreeze
agent in the ratio of 50:50 for changing coolant in
the cooling system and also for topping up.
Recommended antifreeze agents
Servo Kool (IOC)
Long life Coolant (Castrol)
Golden Cruiser Coolant - GC 1200
(Sunstar - CCI (India) Pvt. Ltd.)
Koolguard (HPCL)
Purocool (Ansysco)
Chemcool (Chemoleums)
Please insure following before adding
antifreeze agent into the cooling system,

the

i. Inspect the cooling system for leakages and clean

it thoroughly.

19

TATA 697 TCIC CEV BS III

ii. Inspect the thermostat and replace if found
defective. It is advisable to attach a warning
sign to the radiator neck reading.
Antifreeze Solution is effective up to 40 C. Do
not drain off cooling system. It is recommended
that the entire cooling system should be drained
and filled with fresh mixture of antifreeze agent and
water in the ratio of 50:50 for ambient temperature
of up to 40 C. Coolant should be drained and
replenished in the recommended ratio at every two
years or 2400 hours, whichever is earlier.

1.6 ENGINE NAME PLATE

The Engine is provided with engine number plate.
It is located at rear side of engine, just above the
engine flywheel housing.
