  • •Thermostat failure
  • •Water pump failure
  • •Blocked radiator
  • •Cooling fan not operating
  • •Collapsed coolant hoses

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What coolant should I use in a Perkins engine?

Perkins recommends Extended Life Coolant (ELC) meeting ASTM D6210 specification. Use 50/50 pre-mix or mix concentrate with clean water. Check for correct freezing/boiling protection.

At what temperature does a Perkins shut down?

Typical shutdown temperature is 102-108 deg C depending on engine model and calibration. Warning activates approximately 8-10 degrees before shutdown threshold.
