Although the operation and maintenance of the excavator are relatively simple, the operation performance of your machine will be affected if you do not use and maintain the machine according to the correct operation and maintenance methods. It will even accelerate the wear of the machine and shorten the periodic maintenance cycle of the machine. The extensive application of second-hand excavators is now very high. As second-hand excavators are used less frequently in summer, they should be cleaned. The oil tank cleaning of the excavator is related to the quality of diesel oil. If the fuel tank is not clean, diesel may be mixed with many impurities, which will affect the quality of diesel, and eventually lead to engine damage. The methods for cleaning the oil tank include steam method, solvent method and purging method. This article will introduce the steps of cleaning oil tank dirt by solvent method. For reference only.
First, clean the diesel tank of the excavator with hot water. Then blow dry with compressed air to remove the diesel vapor inside. Finally, put the diesel tank into an aqueous solution containing 10% sodium hydroxide for soaking. Flush the inside and outside of the diesel tank with clean water after immersion. If rust is found on the outside, brush it with a wire brush.
