Unfortunately, this time of the year, us Northerns have to start thinking about the process of putting our toys away for the winter. We have a few months left, but sometimes life just catches up, so I'm trying to prepare now.
This is my first season winterizing Diesel engines...Genie and Mains....and I have a few Q's.
Fogging....do you fog a diesel....and if so how?
Also, on my mains, CAT 3126, approximately how many gallons of non-toxic antifreeze will be required to fill the raw water circuit?
Do I need to Drain anything on the engines?
On my gas engines, I used a bucket with a 5/8" garden hose attached that I would hook into the raw water line south of the impeller. Generally, I would suck about 6 Gallons of AF through the raw water circuit and call it a season. Is a 5/8" garden hose too small for the CATs or will my same bucket setup still work?
thanks,
