According to Weng and Richardson (2000) the differences between the many different methods of measuring oil consumption in diesel engines and the oil consumption measurement system intelligent Cummins are reliability and precision. The article talks about some older methods of measuring oil consumption, such as gravity fed system, oil level variation system, oil pump system, etc. Then the authors describe how each of these works and then detail the advantages and disadvantages of each system. , finally ending with an in-depth explanation of the Cummins system along with its advantages and disadvantages. A gravity-fed system is the method of measuring oil consumption described by the authors. It has been used since the 1980s and is a simple system but made up of many parts. Basically the operation of the system involves an oil cart connected to the engine which contains two tanks, a weigh tank and a float tank. The same pressure is maintained in both the engine and the carriage by a breather pipe. As oil is consumed by the engine, the float in the tank opens a valve and allows the oil to flow out...
