Recommendations for engine start in the bitter cold
The main problem in the winter - a cold engine start. Most often it occurs in relation to gasoline motors, but in a strong frost it can face and the owner of a car with a fuel-injected engine. The reasons are well known: thickened oil, falling battery capacity and bad evaporation of gasoline. One solution to this problem - installation of electrical heating devices coolant engine cooling system (preheater). The main disadvantage of electric heating the coolant is that the home or office should have a special guard with the socket. Exit - Autonomous heater on liquid fuel, which is also built into the engine cooling system and works on the principle of the boiler. It serves as fuel for gasoline or diesel fuel depending on what your car engine is running. The benefit of heating systems consists in the fact that in their application increases engine life. Each engine cold start at -20 ?� C is equivalent to the mileage of 800 km. By the way, according to modern views the engine reaches operating temperature more quickly, and it will wear less if after start-up does not stand still and start moving as soon as possible, avoiding, of course, unnecessary load on the engine.
A WARNING The installation of heaters engine cooling system should be carried out only on branded service stations. |
The procedure for starting the engine without preheater in extreme cold is practically no different from usual. We can only recommend to carry out the following preparatory operations to facilitate the start-up of the cold engine. 1. If the machine was more than one night, after the ignition before starting to wait 3-5 to elektrobenzonasos managed to increase the fuel pressure in the fuel system to the worker. |
2. Battery capacity decreases at yl frost, and energy consumption for cranking the engine with oil thickened much more. In order to increase the service life of the battery before turning the starter switch to 30-60 with the main beam headlights using the stalk switch to light-signaling mode. Due to the passage of a small current in the battery start chemical processes and its ability to give energy increases substantially. |
3. If the engine is not empty on the first try (the starter worked 5-10), the second can be made no earlier than 30 seconds. If the engine fails to start on the third attempt, you must look for a fault in the power supply system and ignition. |
HELPFUL ADVICE Do not try to put in a strong frost engine towing. With this start-up is often the case leap gear timing belt, resulting in expensive repairs require the engine. |
