CHANGING YOUR DRIVING PRACTICES FOR DIESEL ENGINE
CARS
2
The diesel engine cars need regular maintenance
to keep sailing.
3
There is a difference in mechanics and engine
components that exist among different
manufacturers.
4
Follow the set of general tips for keeping your
car immaculate and registering more miles in the
odometer.
5
These practices hold good for most diesel cars
out the road.
6
PROPER IGNITION
7
Diesel engines don't have spark plugs and
ignition relies totally on the battery power.
8
So, it becomes more important to use minimal of
the car's electrical equipment while turning on
the car.
9
This puts less pressure on the battery as well as
on the engine.
10
PREHEAT THE ENGINE
11
Your diesel engine needs to build some initial
heat to work optimally.
12
Most cars are equipped with a preheating
mechanism and you need to do wait for the
'preheat' indicator to go off before turning on
the ignition.
13
During winters, it helps to heat the engine for 5
minutes before gaining momentum.
14
ENGAGE THE CLUTCH
15
This reduces the load on the starter motor, which
works to kick-starting the heavy diesel engine to
life.
16
It becomes easy to start the engine with very
little effort.
17
Helping the motor by engaging the clutch will
ensure long term longevity and a lower
maintenance bill.
18
OPTIMAL REV RANGE
19
Higher revs above the 4000-5000 mark generate
more sound and kill fuel economy.
20
Also, a high rev doesn't generate equivalent
power to low rev driving.
21
Keep the revs low around 2000-3000 rpm mark and
you can be sure of keeping your engine happy.
