1 February 2011: CH-47F Chinook helicopter 07-08738 receives an engine wash at Wheeler Army Airfield (PHHI), Oahu, Hawaii. Solvent, used to remove oil and dirt deposits from the inside of the engine, is pumped in via an engine wash kit (yellow item on ground). Once in, the solvent is allowed to soak for approximately 20 minutes and then fresh water is flushed through the engine to remove all the contaminents. Upon completion, the engines are operated to dry out the internal portion of the powerplant. The fellow on the ground is rinsing the excess solvent off the side of the airframe to prevent staining of the aircraft paint.
