In the meantime, here are someਨਵੀਂ ਸ਼ੁ ਰੂ ਆਤ ਕਰੋ । solutions to make sure your fleet is covered. Work with a Knowledgeable Technician If an AF/C type isn’t known, the fluid should be tested immediately to determine its exact technology and the correct coolant technology to use. Make sure your technicians test for, identify, and correct any issues with your cooling system fluids. Having a conversation with your certified technician, and making sure you have the most current technology can save you uptime and repair costs. Use a Trusted Formula To avoid any confusion for fleet owners, Prestone clearly differentiates its three AF/C technologies: IAT (purple), NOAT (red) and NF OAT (yellow). And for clarity, Prestone has implemented the same color codes for accompanying SCAs, extenders and test strips. Prestone offers test kit mailers that provide fleet owners a quick way to determine the best approach for cooling system maintenance. When in doubt, flush it out! It’s imperative that drivers and fleet owners know exactly what type of AF/C is helping run their engines. If all else fails, flush out your system and start fresh with a clearly labeled formula.www.thetruckingnetwork.ca | Eastern Edition | October 2017 | 51
