Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

ACL for vans

INTERLUBE has introduced the MX Lubrication System, an automatic chassis lubrication (ACL) system for use on light and mid-range commercial vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes without an auxiliary air supply.

The multi-line unit is derived from Interlube's XGS system, and was originally developed for Iveco Germany, which has fitted more than 1,000 systems since December 1983.

MX uses fluid greases (grades 000 to 00) to lubricate up to 12 chassis points. A compact electricity-operated pump with an integral reservoir provides chassis lubrication in excess of 500 hours or approximately three months between refills.

Pumping units are available in three different outputs (0.015cc, 0.025cc and 0.040cc per shot) with a common body size. Units are fully interchangeable to allow the pump to be calibrated to specific vehicle requirements.

Grease is distributed to the bearings via flexible nylon tubing, and is dispensed from positive displacement pumping units which are activated by a synchronous ac motor powered by the ignition circuit.

Price of the system, which can be installed by an operator in three to four hours, is between £150 and £180 plus vat. Interlube already predicts the MX will increase its UK ACL business by up to 16,000 trucks and vans per year.
