nozzles. Also, the unburned fuel can enter
the crankcase, diluting the oil and causing
rapid wear to the engine.
Stopping the Engine
The following chart should be used as a guide
in determining the amount of engine idle
time required to sufficiently cool down the
turbocharger before shut down, depending
upon the type of driving and the amount of
cargo.Before turning off your turbo diesel engine,
always allow the engine to return to normal idle
speed and run for several seconds. This assures
proper lubrication of the turbocharger. This is
particularly necessary after any period of hard
driving.
Idle the engine a few minutes before routine
shutdown. After full load operation, idle the
engine three to five minutes before shutting itdown. This idle period will allow the lubricat-
ing oil and coolant to carry excess heat away
from the combustion chamber, bearings, in-
ternal components, and turbocharger. This is
especially important for turbocharged,
charge air cooled engines.
