burning lube oil from the sump....and explode! Really not good. You
have to see it to believe it! Standing in the engine room of a wooden
minesweeper watching a 12-cylinder Packard diesel running away is even
more exciting....it came in through the supercharger leaking.



I am still trying to figure out the relevance of these comments to the
original question. Deutz engines are 2 stroke diesels. NO SUMP.


Really, if as you say a Deutz has no sump, where does the lubeoil
go while waiting for the oilpump to pick it up and push it thru the
main and rod bearings? 2 or 4 stroke diesels all have sumps....Dah...


Me any fool knows that.....

I think the ones in the 250KW Deutz-powered gensets that powered our hangar
back in Tehran, Iran, held 24 gallons of lubeoil, as a matter of fact.

Great engines....but N-O-I-S-Y with no water jackets!

Actually, if you don't wake up, then it is a very bad night......
