Ask commercial operators who use a Volvo Diesel work engine how they rate it for steady reliable operation, operating economy and easy maintenance.

They'll relate to the engineering fine points that Volvo pioneered in diesel technology by talking about extended range and lower fuel bills. And while low fuel consumption is a major engine consideration, you'll probably hear more about the fact that a Volvo Diesel is designed and manufactured as a marine work engine.

Engineering detail becomes evident when you size up the com- pact in-line six cylinder Volvo Diesel. Advanced metallurgy and pre- cise engineering have been combined to help produce a diesel with low noise and vibration levels.

Installation costs can be kept down since a Volvo Diesei comes off the production line as a marine work engine, ready to go into a boat.

The uncomplicated engine design and a generous number of power take offs allow you to fit extra equipment (compressors, bilge pumps, hydraulic pumps, etc.) easier.

Easy maintenance features can help you lower your operating costs. Since the Volvo Diesel was built as a marine diesel, you'll find easy accessibility for cleaning, repair or replacement. And if you're in need of parts or service you have a well developed network of Volvo representatives, independent distributors and dealers in North Amer- ica and 120 other countries backing you up.

Take stock in what operators who power with a Volvo Diesel say.

Specify a Volvo Diesel when you build or repower. "These results are obtained under laboratory Specific tuel and ideal conditions. Not necessarily obtain-
