    December 11, 2002

    A)

    PREPARING FOR PRESERVATION


    1)
    -

    Tank preservation preparation:


    Perform II TE of the tank ( weapons, all equipment and semiautomatic gun )
    Repair all faulty conditions during the II TE
    Repair the damaged paint on inside and outside of tank
    Clean and degrease surfaces before preservation

    II) ORGANIZATION MEASURES


    For long term preservation of T-55 tank the following military personnel are required:
    - 3 mechanics for tank weapons;...for preservation of heavy guns and turrets
    - 3 tank mechanics;..for engines, transmissions and armor preservation
    - 2 mechanics for infantry weapons;.for electrical equipment preservation
    - 2 tank electricians;....for electrical equip. preservation
    - 2 mechanics for communication;....for communication equipment preservation
    - 2 mechanics for optical equipment;for optical equipment preservation
    This team is needed for safety and efficiency during the preservation process.
    Team should be formed with experts in each area for technical servicing.
    To reduce expenses, preservation should be coordinated to eliminate repetition.
    The procedure should be done during fair weather (max. relative humidity up to 60 %).
    All technical data should be documented in the logbook.
    III) PROTECTION MEASURES
    Protection during the preservation process (working protection, fire protection, environmental
    protection) is regulated by the manufacturer of VpCI products.

    1.

    Place the barrel in depression position.

    2.

    Take off gunpowder gas conductor, breech and


    parts of semi-automatic machine gun and
    overhaul.
    Clean all parts and protect them with VpCI369M with a paintbrush.

    3.

    Clean the barrel and cover all inside surfaces


    with VpCI-369M oil.
    On outside barrel surfaces, the gas drain is
    should also be protected.
    Coat outside barrel surfaces having damaged
    paint with VpCI-368M.

    C) TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE PRESERVATION

    1.

    I) VpCI- MATERIALS DOSAGES


    - tank
    In the fuel system, add 200 liters D-2 fuel, 180
    mechanics
    liters in front and 20 liters into the middle
    reservoir. Place Fuel pipe in measuring position.
    Add VpCI-705 additive (8% by fuel), and fill the
    front, lateral and mid reservoir With fuel enabling
    good mixing.
    Leave the outside reservoirs empty and protect
    them by adding 1liter of clean VpCI-705 in each
    reservoir.

    -tool
    -work table,
    tunnel

    -VpCI 705
    -approx.
    16+3 l liter)

    2.

    In instrument for motor lubrication add the VpCI329 additive (in ratio 1:3). First drain the balance
    of oil. Add VpCI-329 into the semiautomatic gun
    regulator in the same way. Add 1 liter of VpCI 329 to outside reservoir for the engine oil.

    -VpCI-329 approx.
    20+1 liter

    3.

    To engine cooling system, add M-640L (8% of


    liquid) after draining the balance of liquid.

    4.

    To the multiplier, add VpCI-326, for hydraulic


    systems, add VpCI-329 for other oils, (10% by
    amount of oil) it is not necessary to drain rest of
    oil.

    -M640L
    approx. 6,4
    liter
    VpCI 326
    approx.
    0,7liter

    5.

    Into the gearshift level add VpCI-329, (10% by the


    amount of oil); it is not necessary to drain the rest
    of oil.

    -VpCI-326
    approx. 1.3
    liter

    6.

    In planetary instruments add VpCI-326 hydraulic


    fluids or VpCI-329, (10% of oil capacity), balance
    of oil is not necessary to drain.

    -VpCI-326
    approx.
    2x0.25 liter

    7.

    In lateral transmission add VpCI-326 or VpCI329, (10 % by the oil), balance of oil is not
    necessary to drain.

    -VpCI-326
    Approx.
    2x0.45 liter

    8.

    II) STARTING ENGINES, SHORT DRIVE


    Start engine, bring to optimum working
    temperature (around 5-10 min), fuel circulation is
    very important as is the cooling liquid and oil for
    lubrication, throughout all systems.

    9.

    Turn off the engine,; drain the sediment with the


    compressed air.
    Let the airflow over the pipe, until the pressure 1020 bars. Turn on engine, and fill it up to by adding
    the VpCI-329. Dosage drop is approx. 0,5 dl or
    add dispersed VpCI -329.

    10.

    Prepare tank for driving. During the short term


    driving, secure transmission parts lubrication and
    circulation of engine liquids through all engine
    parts. Open fuel pipes and water pipes. Put the
    engine heater and smoke curtain instruments.
    Drive into position until the air bottles are lower
    than 150 bars and engine temperature (water and
    oil) is lower than 70C.

    11.

    mechanics

    III) TANK PARKING

    Turn tank engine off, cool down the engine liquids


    to 60C. Drain the sediment from the starting
    engine with compressed air. Disconnect lance
    corporal tube and protect installation. Open other
    pipes and pump air out, protect this part of
    installation with anticorrosive product.
    Pressure in the bottles should stay at a minimum of
    120-130 bars.
    Keep the tank very clean.

    12

    With non-fuel, electric motor, start engine a few


    times for 5-8 seconds, to burn residue from engine.

    13.

    Proceed with engine compression parts


    preservation by dosing heated (100C) preservation
    mixture (motor oil DS-50 and VpCI-329 in ratio
    3:1) over the lance corporal. The preservation
    mixture amount should be by volume of
    compression space, or 0.86 deciliter per cylinder.
    Dosing should be done with pump (in this case do
    not allow air mixing with preservation mixture).
    After hand dosing of the preservation mixture,
    rotate the crankshaft 2 times with lever. In the goal
    of good lubrication, rotate the crankshaft with
    electric motor 2-3 times for a duration 5-6 sec.
    Connect the tube and lance corporal.

    14.

    Protect Air filter and motor suction with VpCI-137


    (100 mm thickness) impregnated foam, and single
    filter around the whirling chambers and then seal
