What else can I help you with?
How do you restart a Detroit 6v92 engine after running out of diesel fuel?
Either manually pump fuel into the fuel filter (as in, do this several hundred times), or pour some diesel fuel directly into the fuel filter.
How much cooling fluid does a Detroit marine diesel 6v92 engine hold?
The Detroit Marine Diesel 6V92 engine typically holds about 20 to 25 quarts of cooling fluid, depending on the specific configuration and installation. It's important to consult the engine's manual for precise specifications and to account for any additional components in the cooling system. Regular checks should be performed to ensure adequate coolant levels for optimal engine performance.
What type oil is used in a 2 stroke 6v92 Detroit diesel?
30 or 40 weight oil should be used.
What is the firing order for the Detroit engine?
Depends on which Detroit engine you're referring to. For a 60 Series, regardless of year and displacement, it's 153624. the 6V92, 8V92, 12V71, etc. will have a different firing order.
Is a turbo charger or supercharger better for diesel engines?
Most diesel engines are turbo charged, not a lot of diesels are supercharged. A turbo diesels engine will also have a intercooler which will give it added HP. - - - - - The only supercharged diesels I know of are two-stroke Detroit Diesels like the Series 53, the Series 71 (aka the Yachtsman's Friend) and the Series 92. Unlike a four-stroke diesel, a two-stroke diesel can't breathe on its own. They all have blowers - now you know where the nickname came from - to force air into the cylinder while it's at bottom dead center. The supercharger can only do so much for you; if you want to increase your engine's power, you bolt a turbocharger to the air intake on the supercharger. Some DDs are made only in turbo models, like the 6V92. The 71 Series was made with or without turbos, so check the model number: 6-71 is a vanilla engine, 6-71T has a turbo, 6-71TI has intercooling and I can't find out what the "B" stands for, sorry.
Who makes Greyhound engines?
Pretty much all manufacturers have been used in various buses at some point. Greyhound does not manufacture their own buses. On the Greyhound website, they list four buses which make up the bulk of their fleet:MCI D4505: The current model year models use either a Cummins ISX12 or Cummins ISX9 engine. Greyhound most likely uses the ISX12.Prevost X3-45: The current model year uses a Volvo D13 engine.MCI G4500: This platform was manufactured from 2000 - 2005. Initially, it used a Detroit Diesel 12.7 liter 60 series engine. I'm not sure what they used after ACERT regulations went into effect, but the Mercedes-Benz 12.8 liter MBE4000 is a likely possibility.MCI 102DL3 (known as the MCI D4500 from 2000 onwards): These had either a 12.7 liter Detroit Diesel 60 series engine or a 12 liter Caterpillar C12, but this would be from 2000 onwards. When first introduced, the 102DL3 used the two stroke V-configuration Detroits - 6V92, 8V72, or 8V92.These are the buses listed as the mainstay of the Greyhound fleet, and doesn't include every single model in use by them.
