Generic
‘Tech Tips’ to feature regularly. |
|
FleetWatch
is
pleased to welcome into our magazine a new addition
which is designed to add value to your readership –
and knowledge - experience. It comes in the form of
technical tips offered by Barloworld Equipment Energy,
official agents for Caterpillar engines in southern
Africa. This page of ‘Cat Tech Tips’ will run
every second month over the next 24 months with
qualified and expert opinion being given on the many
diverse factors that influence the performance of a
diesel engine. The ‘tips’ are of a generic nature
and are thus applicable to all diesel engine users.
The first one, titled ‘Diesel Fuels and your Engine’,
appears on the page below. |
