1.2L REVOTRON TWIN CYLINDER CNG ENGINE 58 1. Normal - The spark plug core will be lightly coated with grey or brown deposits. Heavy deposits indicate the use of fuel or oil additives. The electrode will not be worn excessively or nicked. The gap will only increase 0.01 mm for every 2000 km of use with the correct fuel. Clean and reuse if replacement is not required. 2. Carbon Fouling - Dark sooty deposits will be present on the entire spark plug. This may cause the electrode to short-circuit, weakening or eliminating spark. Typically caused by excess fuel from a leaking fuel injector, sticking idle speed control valve, or a clogged air filter. Replace the spark plugs if carbon fouled. 3. Oil Fouling- Heavy wet deposits indicate the spark plug is oil fouled. Oil fouling occurs when engine oil is entering the combustion chamber from defective piston rings, valve guides or seals, or a blown head gasket. May also occur during run-in/break In on new or overhauled engines. Replace the spark plugs if oil fouled. 4. Overheating- Overheating is typically caused by the over-advancement of ignition timing, a lean fuel mixture, incorrect spark plug heat range, or incorrect fuel octane rating. Electrodes and insulator will be white and may show signs of wear. Replace overheated spark plugs. 5. Detonation - A detonation or pre-ignition condition will look the similar to an overheating condition, but wear and damage will be much worse such as insulator cracking or breaking. Typically caused by the wrong grade of fuel, incorrect spark plug heat range, or an extremely lean condition. The problem must be identified and repaired immediately otherwise severe engine damage will occur. Do not reuse broken or cracked spark plugs. V. Fuel Filters Replacement (If Applicable): WARNING Petrol and petrol fumes are extremely flammable! If petrol fumes or a fuel leak is detected, do not start the vehicle or allow an open flame or spark near the vehicle. Have the fuel leak repaired immediately. The fuel system is under pressure. Relieve fuel system pressure before replacing the filter. Petrol is an irritant. Wash hands immediately after handling fuel. Description : Two fuel Filters are located beside the vehicle fuel tank. A band clamp secures the fuel filter in place. Replace the fuel filter when changing the engine oil (at 30,000 km or 2 years whichever is earlier). When the vehicle is operated in adverse conditions or where fuel quality is questionable, more frequent replacement may be necessary. Inspection : 1. Check fuel filter as per following procedure. a. Release the fuel system pressure as mentioned above for ‘Removal of tank’ b. Disconnect negative battery terminal. c. Jack up the vehicle / hoist the vehicle. d. Install pressure gauge having a range of 010 bar at the delivery port of T connector. e. Connect negative battery terminal. f. Connect fuel pump connectors. g. Turn ignition switch ‘ON’ - run engine idle. h. Measure fuel pressure on gauge it should be 4 bar. i. If it is not, replace filter and retest. j. If it is OK assemble fuel filter.
