Diesel America Completes

Diesel Pump Order—

Literature Available

Douglas L. Oehrlein of Diesel

America, Inc., New Orleans, La., recently announced the delivery of

December, 1988 3 25 lightweight diesel pumps to boat and barge operator Hollywood Ma- rine, Houston, Texas.

Mr. Oehrlein recently recalled: "Hollywood was one of the first companies to try our new light- weight diesel pumps. Initially they began converting their existing pumps over with our diesel under our Repower Program. However, as their experience grew with our pumps, they finally elected to pur- chase all new pumps. The new line of lightweight diesel pumps weigh only about 80 to 85 pounds, and start easily with a recoil rope-type starter. The units are diecast alumi- num pumps with cast iron volute and impellor. The housing is epoxy coated and the unit comes in a pro- tective roll cage. The new pumps are powered by Yanmar L40 air-cooled diesels which operate at 3,600 rpm.

The unique package brings Holly- wood Marine the size, starting con- venience, cost and weight of gaso- line-powered pumps along with the fuel economy, safety, long life and reliability associated with diesel en- gines."

Diesel America produces a full line of lightweight diesel pumps in- cluding centrifugal, trash and diaphram. The company builds spe- cial-purpose fire pumps, diesel pow- er compressors, pressure washers, generators, and other special-pur- pose diesel equipment.
