1.3 Protection for physical damage and mechanical malfunction is required for the method of preservation in addition to the specific environment protection provided. All cushioning and dunnage materials shall be as clean and dry as practical to minimize item susceptibility to corrosion and contaminants. All knobs, sharp projections, greased slides, bearings and other protrusions shall be suitably wrapped or otherwise protected to prevent damage to either the item or the preservation.

DA FORM 2169, JUN 86 Page 1 of 5

(Continuation Sheet )

5. DATE

1.4 Only non-corrosive wrapping, cushioning, and dunnage shall be used in contact with bare metal and critical item surfaces. Non-corrosive is defined by test requirements of MIL-STD-3010, Test Method 3005.

1.5 Disassembly shall be confined to the minimum necessary to safeguard parts vulnerable to damage or that would otherwise increase cube if not removed. Disassembly shall also be confined to those parts that can be removed and reinstalled without special tools. Removed bolts, nuts, screws, washers, keys, and other fasteners shall be reinstalled in mating parts and secured to prevent loss. When not practical to reinstall hardware, items shall be preserved, packaged, and secured to the engine. Under no circumstances should ducting be disassembled or alterations made to the engine, which would allow dust or dirt to enter the engine.

1.6 The engine may be subject to the requirements of CFR Title 49. If so, it shall be certified by the contractor or his authorized representative and marked indicating that the engine does not contain fuel and that the fuel lines have been drained, sufficiently cleaned of residue, and purged of vapors to remove any potential hazard and the engine, when held in any orientation, will not release any liquid fuel. The contractor is responsible for any additional processing of the engine or changes in the preservation necessary to ensure the engine is purged of vapors prior to sealing in the watervaporproof barrier.

2. Engine preservation.

2.1 Crankcase. At the beginning of engine preservation, engine crankcase shall be filled to operating level with preservative lubricating oil conforming to Grade 10, 30, or 15-40 of MIL-PRF-21260.

2.2 Fuel system. A portable container or a supply line shall be positioned to provide preservative oil to the engine. The engine fuel supply line shall be disconnected at the most convenient point nearest the fuel tank, and a flexible line containing the preservative oil supply connected to the disconnected fuel supply line leading to the engine. Drain diesel fuel from the fuel filters and fill with preservative oil. The engine shall be started and operated at fast idle until running smoothly, but for not more than 4 minutes. Accelerate to ½ throttle and run for 3 minutes and then shutdown by conventional methods.

DA FORM 2169C, JUN 86 Page 2 of 5

2.3 Combustion chamber processing. The engine shall be cooled to 100 degrees F. Cooling will be accomplished by induced air currents, circulation of engine coolant (for liquid-cooled engines), or by waiting the period of time required to arrive at the 100 degrees F. When ambient temperature exceeds 100 degrees F, the engine should be cooled to a temperature equivalent to the ambient. After engine has been cooled to the required temperature, processing through combustion chamber will be started and completed with minimum delay.

Overall elapsed time for complete engine processing should not exceed 24 hours. After the engine has been cooled, an air restrictor plate shall be installed at the nearest and most convenient place to cut off the air supply to the engine. With the fuel system filled with preservative oil, MIL-PRF- 21260, Grade 10, the engine will be cranked for 10 seconds. Remove the preservative oil supply line and reconnect the fuel supply lines and open the fuel shut off valves. Drain filters, remove filter elements and replace with new element and gaskets. Level A engine processing requirements for each model may contain unique engine processing requirements. These should be reviewed prior to processing engines for outside storage.

CAUTION

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS WILL BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE AMOUNT OF OIL DRAWN INTO

THE ENGINE WHILE COMPLETING 1.2.3 ABOVE WILL NOT RESULT IN A HYDROSTATIC

LOCK. PRIOR TO PROCESSING ADDITIONAL ENGINES, THE FIRST ENGINE WILL BE

PROCESSED AS SPECIFIED ABOVE AND ALLOWED TO STAND FOR 12 HOURS. THE ENGINE

WILL THEN BE MANUALLY ROTATED, OR ROTATED BY THE STARTER IF MANUAL TURNING IS

NOT POSSIBLE, TO ENSURE THAT THE AMOUNT OF OIL DRAWN INTO COMBUSTION CHAMBERS

ALLOWS FREE ROTATION OF THE ENGINE.

2.4 Drain crankcase. Install new filters. Reinstall drain plug.

2.5 Upon completion of engine preservation, all openings into the engine such as crankcase breathers, oil filter caps, valve cover breather holes, oil level dipstick/tube, and openings into accessories, shall be sealed with plastic caps or plugs conforming to AIA/NAS 840 and/or AIA/NAS 847, or with tape conforming to SAE-AMS—T-22085.

2.6 A warning tag shall be prepared and attached to the engine with the deprocessing instructions detailing how to deprocess the engine. Guidance is contained on DA Form 2258, “Depreservation Guide for Vehicles and Equipment”.

DA FORM 2169C, JUN 86 Page 4 of 5

2.7 Engines, internal combustion are hazard for transport in accordance with CFR Title 49. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that all engines preserved are purged of all flammable vapors to remove any potential hazard. Alternate procedures may be used by the contractor for engine preservation. The procedure proposed by the contractor shall not cause excessive preservative lubricating oil to be left in combustion chambers and manifolds that could result in hydrostatic lockup of engine. The contractor shall furnish an engine for examination and test of his proposed procedure, prior to production preservation.

The proposed procedure shall be subject to prior approval of the contracting officer. Procedures previously approved for long term storage in excess of 60 months by the Government may be used to CO approval.
