NEW FORMAT
The new format for engine identification will be incorporated by all Perkins manufacturing operations in the near future. At
the present time, engines produced in England, Germany, Mexico, and the United States are being identified according to
the new format. As with its predecessor, the identification of each engine is accomplished via an alphanumeric code,
which can be comprised of up to 15 characters (if a secondary parts list reference is required, six additional characters will
be used). The standardized location for each engine's identification is a machined pad situated near the fuel injection
pump (left side of engine when viewing from rear). Exceptions to this location may arise for certain engines. The
following data is represented in sequence by the alphanumeric identification code characters.

Engine Family and Type/Phase Code Interpretations:
