INTRODUCTION Furthermore, modern engines exhibit operating parameters which require the use of proper fluids, such as fuel, coolant and lubricating oil, to maintain long engine life. The use of fluids that do not meet Detroit Diesel specifications may result in early wear out or engine failure. Personnel Requirements Work on the engine should be carried out only by skilled technicians who have been instructed in the specific skills necessary for the type of work being performed. Engine Conversions and Modifications The function and safety of the engine could be affected if unauthorized modifications are made to it. Detroit Diesel will not accept responsibility for any resulting damage.
Tampering with the fuel injection system and engine electronics could also affect the engine's power output or exhaust emission levels. Compliance with the manufacturer's settings and with statutory environmental protection regulations cannot then be guaranteed. 2 All information subject to change without notice.
