The English Mechanic.

The English Mechanic.

Things break and I fix them.........

I've been a mechanic of about 25 years boy and man, worked on all kinds of wired and wonderful things. They say verity is the spice of life and over the past few years I've defiantly had that!

I pretty much work on anything with a diesel engine in it!

Trucks, transit buses, boats, shredders, wood chippers, combine harvesters, tractors, drilling rigs, cranes, forklifts, boom lifts, generators, fire pumps and pretty much anything else you can think of!

The bigger the better when it comes to diesel engine!

    I ran a Bertram 54 with a pair of 12V92’s for ten years, I have to admit after keeping them running for ten years I was only to happy to get on a Viking 65 that has a pair of MTU 16V2000’s I would have to say I’m not a fan of those 12V92’s.😏 that old Bertram is in Guyana with its new owner.

  • @theenglishmechanic.
    @theenglishmechanic. Жыл бұрын

    Basically the fuel leaving the engine and heading back to the tank is pretty hot so it is run through the coolers to reduce the temperature before it reached the tank. I believe the diesel fuel density change with temperature as well and that can cause a few issues with performance.

    Hello, fire pumps are usually a fixed speed engine. They don't usually have any RPM controls so I'm not sure why it would idle before gong to its specified RPM. It kind of defeats the purpose of the pump if its in idle while there is a fire. 🤔
