How often should you check the humidity indicator for engines stored in shipping and storage containers or static dehumidified bags?

• A. Every 60 days
• B. Every 28 days
• C. Every 14 days
• D. Every 7 days

Answer: (B)

Monitoring moisture inside sealed storage keeps engines from corrosion. For engines kept in shipping and storage containers or static dehumidified bags, the humidity indicator should be checked about every 28 days. This monthly cadence balances catching gradual moisture buildup before it can cause damage with avoiding unnecessary, overly frequent checks. If the indicator shows humidity outside the safe range, take action (re-dry or replace desiccant and reseal) and plan to recheck on the next 28‑day cycle.
