Why can’t Nigerians enjoy uninterrupted power supply?
Nigerians cannot enjoy uninterrupted power supply for now because our generation, transmission and distribution capacity is far below what is required to provide uninterrupted power supply. For instance, our current daily generation is about 3,200 mw, whereas it is estimated that about 10,000 mw is required to ensure uninterrupted power supply. In addition the transmission and distribution network wheeling capacity is about 4000 mw.
Would privatisation result in efficiency in the sector? Would power generation and supply to consumers improve?
There is no doubt that privatisation will lead to greater efficiency in the sector. Power generation and supply to consumers will definitely improve.
How can I tell if my diesel is clean enough?
Testing is the only way to know how clean your fuel really is. Any reputable oil analysis lab should be able to help you with this, but if at all possible Donaldson advocates performing an in-field patch test. Compare your result (expressed by an ISO 4406 Cleanliness Code) with target cleanliness levels. Donaldson recommends ISO 14/13/11; below which point it is virtually impossible to distinguish in the field. Engine manufacturers do not accept liability for damage caused by fuel contaminants, so the cleaner the better.
How do you inspect and change diesel filters?
Notwithstanding the congestion in the engine bay which can make access to filter a bit awkward on some vehicles, the filter cartridge is easy to remove when it’s time to change it. In fact it can be removed without the need for hand tools thanks to the cartridge retaining nut which can be loosened by hand. Another great feature of the Fuel Manager is that the cartridge can be removed without creating a fuel spill, thanks to the enclosed top on the cartridge. This great design also extends to the rubber seals being an integral part of the cartridge so you don’t have to worry about replacing fiddly O rings or gaskets.
