Caterpillar Publishes 40-Page Color Booklet

On Diesel Fuels/Engines "Diesel Fuels And Your Engine" and "Oil

And Your Engine," both bookets to help achieve optimum engine service life and performance, are available from Caterpillar dealers at a nominal charge.

Today, diesel fuel is the largest single operating expense over the life of the engine—amounting to as much as 70 percent or more.

To get the most out of your investment, it is important to un- derstand the properties of fuel and their impac.t on your diesel engine.

Caterpillar Inc. recently pub- lished a 40-page, color booklet, "Diesel Fuels And Your Engine," which describes the harmful effects various fuels can have on an engine and how to deal with them.

Diesel engines can run on a wide range of fuels—crude oil, blended, or residual distillate for example.

But they run best on distillate fuels, cause less downtime, last longer, and are often more cost effective.

But when fuel costs rise, the tenden- cy is to turn to lower quality fuel.

Usually at the expense of the en- gine.

The 40-page, four-color booklet provides facts on fuel selection and treatment. It offers basic, easy-to- understand explanations of the properties of fuel, how they can affect an engine, and what steps can be taken to eliminate or minimize the problem.

The booklet discusses fuel corro- sives, such as hydrogen sulphide, which is present in some crude and residual fuels. When water vapor from internal combustion mixes with the hydrogen sulphide, it forms highly corrosive sulfuric acid which can destroy valve guides, piston rings, and cylinder liners. The book- let tells what steps to take to help prevent corrosive damage.

Covered too, are such topics as fuel stability, starting characteris- tics, combustion chamber deposits, and various methods of fuel storage and treatment. It also lists fuel test kits, suppliers of fuel treatment plants, and various fuel-related publications. "Diesel Fuels And Your Engine" is the second in the series of book- lets to help customers achieve op- timum engine service life and per- formance. Its co-publication, "Oil

And Your Engine" (Form No.

SEBD0640), deals with the func- tions and properties of lubricating oils. More than 150,000 copies have been sold.

Copies of both booklets are avail- able from your Caterpillar dealer at a nominal charge. Ask for service publication Form No. SEBD0717 for the fuel book or Form No. SEB-

D0640 for the oil book. Contact either the Service Training Depart- ment or the Dealer Promotion De- partment at your local Caterpillar dealer.

International requests should be directed to W. J. Gardner, Cater- pillar Engine Division, P.O. Box 610, Mossville, 111. 61552-0610.

Ulstein Offers

Free Color Brochure

On High Lift Rudder

Ulstein Trading Ltd. A/S of Nor- way is offering a free color brochure on its high lift rudder, a result of intensive research and several years' experience in ship construction and manufacture of ships' equipment, which provides improved maneu- verability and fuel economy.

According to the brochure, the

Ulstein High Lift Rudder, with a bulbous leading edge, active flap and vane elements, offers superior steering ability in both towing and trawling conditions and excellent performance at high-speed ship op- eration.

The publication details the re- sults of tests performed at the Nor- wegian Marine Research Institute which support Ulstein's claim that the company's high lift rudder's shape has less resistance as com- pared with other high lift rudders.

Graphs showing test results are pro- vided.

The brochure provides details on the principal specifications, techni- cal aspects and construction of the high lift rudder. For your free copy of the Ulstein brochure,
