Can anyone tell me how important is it to fog a diesel engine during the winterization process? I hired a diesel mechanic to teach me the basics and all went well and I think I now have a handle on all the necessary steps but he asked if I had brought some fogging oil for the inlet manifold. I hadn't and he then said that in most cases from his experience the fogging oil did not enter far into the engine so I should be ok. My engine is a Perkins t6.354.
Prior to this all of my boats were gasoline powered. Being new to the diesel way of life I just want to be absolutely sure I am doing this the right way. It would be easy enough for me to go back and fog the engine. Your input is appreciated.
