Fuel system
Cleaning the throttle at the
gas mixer
This procedure applies only if pure biogas is
used as fuel.
IMPORTANT!
Read the safety precautions before starting work.
1. Detach the harness-to-component connector
from the throttle.
2. Remove the screws and detach the fuel hose
and the throttle.
3. Protect the throttle electrical connection
from moisture.
4. Clean the throttle with soap and water. Use a
soft brush to remove stubborn dirt.
IMPORTANT!
Only use soap and water. Solvents and degreas-
ing agents can damage the throttle.
5. Rinse the throttle with hot water.
6. Dry off the water.
7. Spray the outside of the throttle with water-
repellent anti-corrosive oil, for example
LPS1 or equivalent. Make sure that the oil
reaches the holes for the throttle shaft in the
throttle housing.
8. Fit the gas mixer housing.
9. Renew the gaskets.
10. Fit the throttle and gas connection.
11. Check the fuel system is not leaking. See the
following section.

1. Undo the hose clamps.
2. Turn the charge air pipe downwards.
3. Close the nipple on pressure cap 2 655 714

5. Remove the air pipe between the air cleaner
and the gas mixer.
6. Fit pressure cap 2 541 521 in the hose spigot
on the gas mixer.
7. Detach the crankcase ventilation connection.
8. Fit cover 2 655 695.
9. Connect pressure regulator 2 301 851 to cov-
er 2 655 695.
51
Fuel system
10. Open the valve on pressure regulator
2 301 851.
11. Monitor the pressure on pressure cap
2 541 521. The manometer should indicate a
pressure below 0.3 bar. Greater pressure may
damage the engine.
52
Fuel system
12. Use leak detection spray to locate any gas
leakage. If there is a gas leak, bubbles form
upon application of leak detection spray.
Be careful in areas where work has been car-
ried out or where a joint has been cut.
13. If you discover a leak, rectify the leakage and
repeat the leak tracing.
Leak testing the intake system down-
stream of the throttle
1. Remove the V-clamp and move the exhaust
pipe to one side.
2. Remove the O-ring from the pressure testing
equipment 2 284 630. Fit adapter 2 541 522
and the pressure testing equipment and plug
the pneumatic connection with cover
2 655 696.

3. Remove the hose spigot and pressure cap
2 655 714 from the charge air pipe.
4. Open the nipple on pressure cap 2 655 714.
5. Fit adapter connection 2 655 697 to the pres-
sure regulator and connect it to pressure cap
2 655 714.
6. Fit the hose spigot and pressure cap
2 655 714 at the throttle housing.
7. Open the valve on pressure regulator
2 301 851.
8. Monitor the pressure on pressure testing
equipment 2 284 630. The manometer
should indicate a pressure below 0.3 bar.
Greater pressure may damage the engine.
IMPORTANT!
The pressure must not exceed 0.3 bar. A higher
pressure may damage the turbocharger.

9. Use leak detection spray to locate any gas
leakage. If there is a gas leak, bubbles form
upon application of leak detection spray.
Be careful with areas where work has been
carried out or where a joint has been cut.
The exhaust system up to the turbocharger
outlet is pressurised, but does not need to be
checked.
10. If you discover a leak, rectify the leakage and
repeat the leak tracing.

Checking deposits in the
combustion chamber
The procedure only applies if pure biogas is used
as fuel, and after cleaning the flame arrestor and
throttles in accordance with the previous two
sections.

Endoscope
IMPORTANT!
Read the safety precautions before starting work.
1. Remove the spark plug connection and the
spark plug. See the section Renewing the
spark plugs.
2. Check if there are any deposits in the com-
bustion chamber using an endoscope.
3. Check the amount of deposits on the top of
the piston.
The cylinder, piston and the valve head must
be cleaned if
- deposits on the top of the piston are flak-
ing,
or if
- the deposit protrudes at least 5 mm from
the valves.
The cleaning procedure is described in the
Workshop Manual, which can be ordered
from a Scania dealer or directly from Scania.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 on the other cylinders.

3. Remove the spark plug connector by pulling
it straight upwards.
IMPORTANT!
Do not pull on the arm as this could damage the
spark plug connector.
4. Check that the spark plug connector does not
have any visible damage.
5. Unscrew the spark plug using the spark plug
socket.
IMPORTANT!
Do not touch the spark plug insulator with your
fingers. If this occurs, clean the insulator with al-
cohol.
6. Place the new spark plug in the spark plug
socket and tighten the spark plug. Tightening
torque 30 Nm (22 lb-ft).
IMPORTANT!
Do not lower the spark plug through the rocker
cover since this could cause the gap between the
spark plug electrodes to be incorrect. Always
place the spark plug in the spark plug socket be-
fore fitting. The correct gap between the spark
plug electrodes is 0.25 mm.
7. Fit the spark plug connector.

Checking for leaks
WARNING!
If there is leakage in the fuel system, contact
your nearest Scania workshop immediately.
IMPORTANT!
If there is a major oil or coolant leak, contact
your nearest Scania workshop.
1. Start the engine.
2. Check for oil, coolant, fuel, air or exhaust
leaks.
3. Tighten or renew leaking connections.
Check the overflow holes which show
whether the O-rings between the cylinder
liners and crankcase are leaking.
4. Check whether the drain hole on the coolant
pump is blocked. If there is a leak, renew the
seal in the pump or the complete coolant
pump.

WARNING!
Block the starting device. If the engine starts un-
expectedly, there is a serious risk of injury.
IMPORTANT!
The engine must be cold when the work is car-
ried out.
Remember to remove the turning tool from the
flywheel after adjustment.
Note:
Carry out the working without pausing, so that
no step is overlooked.
Carry out a check and adjustment of the valve
clearances one more time after the first 500 hours
of operation. After this, adjustment according to
the regular interval takes place, which is every
2,000 operational hours.
