Catalytic converter :

The Tata Telcoline (Bharat stage II / Euro-II / Euro III)

is fitted with the Diesel oxidation catalytic converter

to reduce exhaust pollution. The two way catalytic

converter has coating of precious metals which

enables conversion of pollutants.

Care of the catalytic Converter :

The catalytic converter does not require any special

maintenance, however following precautions should

be taken for the effective functioning of the converter

and to avoid damage to the converter.

It is mandatory to use the diesel fuel as recommended

in the operators manual which is suitable to emission

level (as per regulations). Use of inappropriate diesel

can increase the pollutants and damages to catalytic

converter.

Avoid the parking of the vehicle over inflammable

materials such as dry leaves, grass etc., as the

exhaust system can be hot enough to imitate "FIRE"

Maintenance of catalytic converter :

Catalytic converter should be flushed by giving full

throttle (4 to 5 times) in a standing condition of the

vehicle preferably daily. In addition to this it is

recommended to run the vehicle at high speeds (60

to 80 kmph) for few kms. as this will help to flush the

carbon soot deposits from the exhaust system and

catalytic converter. High speed running of the vehicle

is helpful to clean up the catalytic converter and

deposits, if any.

Alternatively flushing of the catalytic converter can

be done by dry compressed air draft (3 to 4 bar)

directed on the honey comb structure of catalytic

converter) after removing from vehicle.
