API RP 7C-11F (R2008)

This RP for the installation, maintenance, and operation of internal-combustion engines covers three objectives: to present information of a general nature pertaining to their installation and to emphasize installation recommendations for speciifc types of service, observation of which is often overlooked; to present maintenance check off lists for daily, weekly and monthly maintenance of such engines; and to present trouble-shooting recommendations with which the cause of most common engine troubles can be determined. This publication does not purport to be a detailed instruction manual; and in cases where additional information is required on a particular piece of equipment, the manufacturer should be consulted. The information presented under installation and maintenance has been classified as : Applicable generally to all types of internal-combustion engines in all types of service; and particularly applicable to engines in drilling or semiportable plant service, Particularly applicable to engines in oil-well pumping, oil-pump, or similar service where the engines may or may not be under daily observation. Both multiple-cylinder and single-or two-cylinder engines are considered in the latter category.
