    The document discusses Lister Petter's long running systems for engines that operate continuously for days, weeks or months. It describes two systems - an extended sump that allows 500 hours of operation and a remote oil tank system that allows up to 2000 hours of unattended running. The key benefits are fewer maintenance visits required, lower logistical costs, cooler running engines, consistent oil levels and better oil condition. Commissioning of the systems involves an initial 100 hour run-in period to condition the new components. Significant potential cost savings are shown through reducing the frequency of maintenance crew site visits from every 8 days to every 42 days or more.

    Commissioning

    Engine needs run in for 100 hours


    Detail in operators handbook
    supplement:
    Fill tank with 15 litres of oil
    Run at min 75% load for 100hours
    Change engine filter (not bypass filter) &
    drain oil
    Refill with 55 litres of new oil

    Necessary to reduce the risk of future
