Diesel Engines Have Changed ‘Throughout the years, Cummins has remained at the forefront in the development of nigh performance engines. | Efforts to produce engines with increased performance, thal are more reliable and more environmentally fiendly have led to new advancements in technology. ‘The tolerances for the Internal components of modern fuel | systems have decreased by a factor greater than 25 over the years. Wear of these internal components due to contaminated fuel will decrease their lives ‘and may even cause maifunctions that could result in severe damage to other engine ‘components. Cleanliness Requirements (Cummins and other engine ‘manufacturers, in accordance withthe World Wide Fuel Charter, have specified a minimum fuel cleanliness level 18/16/13, outined In the [SO 4406 standard, with a maximum water content of 200, parts per milion, 18/16/13 is a three number coding system that corresponds to the number of particles ofa size greater than 4, 6 and 14 mmictons per milter of fuel, respectively. The testing methods for determining the amount and size of particles inthe fuel are stated in 180 11500, while the testing method for Minimum Fuel i determining the water contents sated ASTM D004View this CD to learn how fuel quality will affect you, your company, your time, and your money!
