Cummins Introduces VTA28-M, 675-BHP Marine Diesel-

Free Literature Available

Cummins Engine Company has announced the availability of their

VTA28-M diesel engine for a wide variety of marine applications.

Rated 675 bhp at 1,800 rpm, the powerful, compact VTA28-M is ideally suited for continuous duty marine applications, from tugboats and towboats to trawlers and drag- gers. The VTA28-M (28 liters) pro- duces 55 bhp more than the former

Cummins 1710 CID, V-12 engine, a tried and proven marine industry standard.

Applying the latest technology in advanced turbocharging and design process, Cummins developed the higher output while actually im- proving brake specific fuel con- sumption. In increasing the bhp from 620 to 675, the increase in total fuel consumption was held to less than one gallon-per-hour and the

BSFC was reduced by 10 points.

At this power rating, the VTA28-

M is lighter in weight and more compact than many comparable competitive marine diesels. In addi- tion to the lighter weight-to-horse- power ratio, this also means there is more walk-around room in the en- gine compartment for ease of main- tenance and service.

The new VTA28-M marine diesel is available through Cummins ex- tensive marine distributor and deal- •-'•I* ' $USf er network. For free brochures con- taining photos, drawings and full specifications on the VTA28-M and the complete line of Cummins ma- rine engines,

A new spin-on fuel filter/water separator is being introduced by the

Racor Division of Parker Hannifin

Corporation, which fits the existing fuel filter head on almost any diesel engine. Designed for easy installa- tion and service, Racor Spin-On fil- ters feature a see-through collection bowl, long a hallmark of Racor fil- ter/separators.

The complete filter/separator with element and clear collection bowl fits onto the existing on-engine filter head, and neither tools nor adapters are required for installa- tion. In addition, filter elements can be replaced and the see-through bowl is reusable. The straight Spin-

On filter is available for Cummins,

Detroit Diesel Allison, Caterpillar and International Harvester en- gines.

The Racor Spin-On filter/separa- tor removes virtually 100 percent of the damaging water, and filters out solids down to two microns in size.

Contaminants are separated into the see-through collection bowl, and isolated there until they are flushed away through the self-venting drain in the bottom.

To combat the damaging effects of emulsified water on filter ele- ments, Racor engineered a special filter media called Aquabloc™. The media is chemically treated to screen out emulsified water and mi- croscopic solids. This tough materi- al makes emulsified water bead up on the element, then sheet off into the collection bowl.

Two optional features enhance the new product's capabilities. First, a water sensor in the collection bowl can be wired to a panel-mounted

Racor straight spin-on fuel filter/water sep- arators. indicator to signal when the con- tainer should be drained. Second, in cold weather, a Racor self-regulat- ing diesel fuel heater can be in- stalled between the fuel tank and the pump to prevent power loss and stalls due to waxing. They also assist in cold weather starting and assure smooth engine operation in severe conditions.
