101 4 DLT ENGINE 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.
