‘One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!’ Many businesses around the world still operate older Compair, Belliss and Morcom and Reavell compressors because they are reliable and basically ‘bullet proof’. They just run forever. However finding parts for obsolete models becomes the challenge. GTA Compressor Solutions formally operated as Compair Canada for over 20 years so we still have large stocks of parts for compressors manufactured three or four decades ago. The BW4L shown in the picture shows the vintage of units we can support. If we don’t have the part in stock chances are we know who originally made it! From airends, crankshafts and cylinders to inlet kits and piston rings GTA Compressor Solutions can help you. Air is our business.

Starting your engine from a cold start requires careful procedures. Here are 7 effective tips to do that: Initial start-up: Start your engine and let it run for 30 seconds to build oil pressure. This helps lubricate the engine parts. ❄ After the initial start, increase the idle speed to about 1200 RPM until the coolant reaches operating temperature. Once the coolant is warm, lower the idle before taking off. This ensures the engine is not strained. ❄ Cool down: For cooling down, maintain 1200 RPM for 2.5 minutes, then reduce to low idle for another 2.5 minutes. This helps in evenly distributing the engine heat. Clutch technique: Hold the clutch while starting to ease the starter's load. ❄ Aim for a 3-minute warm-up and cool-down, especially if the engine is still warm, to circulate the oil properly. Use of coolant heater: If your truck has a coolant heater, it can maintain the engine at a steady temperature, making it ready for an immediate start in the morning. Also, remember to complete any pre-trip checks. We wish you a safe drive! #truckmania #truckstuff #truckhub #trucking #truckdrivers #truckdaily #enginecare #truckmaintenance #vehiclecare #enginehealth #mechanics101 #vehicletips #bxb #bxbexpressfreight

Did You Notice Water Dripping From Your Car Exhaust Pipe. Is this completely normal? When is it Not Normal? While water coming out of your car exhaust system will be normal in most cases, there are situations where it is not. For instance, if your car’s engine is discharging a lot of water, such as a cup of water per minute, it is gas a good sign that you’ve got a deeper problem. If you notice that the water isn’t clear, it could be antifreeze that’s leaking out, and is a sign of a damaged gasket in the engine (usually a head gasket). It could also be a sign of a cracked head. Both of these can allow engine coolant to leak in. Book Your Slot Today. Daniel Laban The Automotive Doctor, +254 722 949 906 www.automotivedoctor.co.ke

As part of your fleet's summer preventive maintenance checks, it is important to check your fleet's cooling systems. Modern engines operate at higher temperatures, demanding top-notch cooling system performance. Regular inspection of belts, idler pulleys, hoses, and coolant levels is essential. Consider replacing belts and hoses older than five years as a preventive measure.

Common telltale signs of fuel contamination: • Rough engine performance • Difficulty starting up • Engine misfires • Engine stalling • Decreased engine power • Unusual engine noises What can you do about it? It depends. Proper maintenance of the fuel system is your first line of defence to avoid these problems. If the worst does happen, if it’s caught early enough and you’re lucky it can sometimes be solved with a filter change and a flush. Otherwise, a contaminated fuel system often requires replacement of all the fuel system components, to replace damaged parts and ensure they won’t get damaged again. Genuine DEUTZ RK05 Replacement Fuel System Kit Bundles are available for this purpose and include new lines, injectors, a new high-pressure fuel pump, and various other components.
