Fuel

Petrol engines

Neetilirovannyj gasoline is not worse АИ-95 (engines with каталитическим the converter).
Неэтилированный or этилированный gasoline is not worse АИ-95 (engines without каталитического than the converter).
Application of gasoline not worse АИ-91 is supposed, thus capacity of the engine decreases and increases the fuel expense.

Diesel engines

Automobile (not ship or boiler) summer or winter дизтопливо with the sulphur maintenance not above 0.5 %. Do not apply biodiesel fuel and a methyl aether рапсового oil.
The preliminary heating of fuel in the filter prevents загустевание fuel during car movement.
Do not apply special means to reduction of viscosity of fuel.

At temperature drop of external air more low-9S to summer дизтопливу add kerosene (in % from total volume).

Impellent oil should satisfy to both classifications - АСЕА: А3-96 and АСЕА: В-3-96 or ССМС-G5 and ССМС-PD2.

Viscosity of oils, is designated on classification SAE. The oil choice is defined by the average temperature of air caused by a season. Correctly to define a class of oil approaching on viscosity on SAE the diagramme resulted on an accompanying illustration allows. The short-term exit of actual temperature of air for the bottom or top limit of the designated range is supposed.

- The resulted pressure of air concerns cold tyres. In tyres owing to their warming up on 0.2 - 0.4 bar it is not necessary to consider increase of pressure of air arising in the course of movement. At operation of winter tyres speed of movement should be lowered.

Owing to occurrence of new models of tyres and disks they can be applied to installation on cars of earlier release. About possibility of their application it is necessary to consult on HUNDRED.

a) At a sports management style the car recommends to raise pressure of air in forward and back tyres on 0.2 bar. Thus initial pressure is the pressure established for various conditions of loading.
b) At movement with the trailer pressure of air in tyres is established according to a condition “Full loading”.
c) Values of pressure of air are specified on a label on a rack of a door of the driver.

According to the established rules depth of a profile of the tyre should not reach as a result of deterioration of value less than 1.6 mm. All working surface of the tyre should have depth not less than 1.6 mm. It is recommended to replace summer tyres at depth of a profile of 2 mm, and winter at depth of a profile of 4 mm.

Designation of tyres and disks


Example of a designation of the tyre

225

Width of a profile, mm

/60

The relation of height of a profile of the tyre to its width (the profile height makes 60 % of width of the tyre)
If this parametre is absent (for example, 195 R14) it is a question of the normal relation making 82 %.

R

The radial tyre

15

Assembly diameter of a rim in inches

96

Load-carrying capacity index

If between parametres 15 and 96 there is designation M+S it is a question of the tyre with a winter profile.

V

Category of admissible maximum speed.

The category of speed costs in the end of marks. The symbol of speed concerns both to summer, and winter tyres.

Date of manufacturing of the tyre
Date of manufacturing of the tyre is presented in the form of a code of the manufacturer.

Example: DOT CUL2 UM8 286 <TUBELESS
DOT - transport department (the Ministry of transport of the USA)
CU - a code of the manufacturer
L2 - The size of the tyre
UM8 - Tyre execution
286 - manufacturing date - 38th working week 1997
<- A symbol of decade (1990 - 1999г.г.)
TUBELESS - бескамерная the tyre (TUBETYPE - chamber)

Example of a designation of a disk: 7Jx15:
7 - width of a rim in inches
J - marks of height and a rim profile (In - lower form of a nozzle)
x - a designation of the disk consisting of one detail
15 - diameter of a rim in inches

If in the end of tyre marks there is a word “reinforced” it is a question of the tyre of the strengthened execution.
