What causes a diesel motor to run away? A runaway diesel is a serious safety failure in which unregulated fuel sources enter combustion processes uncontrolled, exceeding engine design parameters and…

Diesel engines, with their powerful torque and exceptional reliability, are widely used in generator sets, construction machinery, marine vessels, mining equipment, and oilfield machinery. However, no matter how outstanding the…

Every SOLAS-classed boat has lifeboats based on one unavoidable guarantee: the engine has to start when there is no other option. The promise is contained in SOLAS Chapter III and…

Starting systems play an essential role when selecting and maintaining industrial diesel engines, marine vessels or emergency generator sets. A reliable starting system could make the difference between smooth operation…

In the field of industrial power, the electric starter is the most common choice, however, it is often one of the “weakest link” in mission-critical applications. Using only battery-dependent systems…

And you are looking at an air cooled diesel engine. Perhaps you have seen its specs or have made comparisons between models; whatever the case may be. Selecting the appropriate engine…

Diesel engines are engineered with precision however, neglect over time is their biggest enemy. Improper storage is often the cause of degrading the fuel, the growth of microbial and internal…

If you’re dealing with diesel engine start problems, you’re not alone. Most of the time, the real culprit is one of four things: weak electrical power, fuel not reaching the…

Time is money in the oil and gas game. That’s not just a saying. When a massive diesel engine—think generator sets or pump drives—goes down because it won’t start, even…
