No point in having a gauge if its not going to be telling similar results in similar conditions, and by using a tell tale on the crossflow v4 it tells lies !!!! If you are going to use the tell tale fitting then just tube straight to the gauge, But dont be surprised if you get a good reading and a head gasket blow and destroy your pistons. Its about as good as saying ' my tyres are black so they must be ok '

Tee-ing into the tell tale is absolutely useless, whoever first done this was a total idiot and yet its become the norm, it is a true urban myth that it works correctly. Enter the Shanghai team, who investigated the problem and came up with a solution for ensuring there was maximum room for the escalators, with other supporting facilities located nearby.Some people will not agree with this, but this is FACT. In order to modernize these stations, KONE designed a solution to increase the efficiency and safety of passengers by installing heavy-duty escalators with a running speed of 0.65 m/s and four horizontal steps between the upper and lower ends.īut KONE technicians faced a challenge: there was not enough space to allow for the design. Two of the older stations were more than ten years old, and their escalators followed an old national standard: operating at 0.5 meters a second, with the upper and lower ends having three horizontal steps. Nowadays, metro construction faces new requirement. “The overriding concern for us, of course, was a safer, more reliable experience for subway riders,” says Bo Xinlong, KONE China project manager. “In order not to delay other parties' work, we deployed large-scale lifting equipment, making sure that escalators were successfully installed the day they arrived,” says Zhang Jing, KONE China Shanghai branch installation manager. In addition, the project involved different construction parties. “KONE has service technicians stationed along Line 5 and in the event of a disruption, our people are able to respond within 5 to 10 minutes.”īecause Line 5 needed to operate normally during the day, and especially during rush hour, 30% of KONE’s work during the renovation and extension was done at night. Due to the high passenger flow, it is important that the equipment in the Xiaotang Station runs seamlessly to reduce the chances of congestion.

“As the only railway line connecting the Fengxian district and the downtown area, Line 5 is always extremely busy,” says Zhou Shi Jing, KONE China Shanghai branch service manager.
