Yeah I have seen that one before. But, these aren't diesels not that cat doesn't make a diesel 3600. These run on natural gas.

Hey CB not trying to take away from your post at all. Those are awesome engines. I didn't know they ran on NG. My brother-in-law works on tugboats in Charleston SC. and those have some huge engines in them too. They are fascinating machines. When I was in Kuwait they had some huge engines to power the electric generators. They looked about the size of your 12 cylinder jobs. Do you make any of those? I believe they were cats. VV

Have you guys ever seen the Cooper-Bessemer's? I work for a gas utility, and we have those things to compress the gas.

Yeah I have worked on those also, Now you are talking about big iron. We had ten Cooper GMV 10 cylinders. Those old two strokes are very durable. Have you ever been around when one of them had a crank case explosion?

It's not a pretty site you end up with about 100 gallons of oil on the ground.

No prob. the wartzila is an awesome engine. Yeah we have a few big gen sets at the plant where all of this gas comes from.
