Engine Sales

The Gardner 6LXB engine is offered as a complete package ready for installation. We try to keep one 6LXB engine in stock for sale or service exchange, and we can provide the engines complete with full on engine cooling systems, water pumps and reversing gears. It is worth noting that the engines we provide use the original Gardner designed cooling systems, not third party substitutions.

These engines are suitable for single or twin screw installations, or replacement of older Gardner units that we will take in part exchange. These engines have the highest levels of efficiency, durability and refinement. They are fully supported, and we hold all spare parts on the shelf.

For more information, please download the specification sheets below, or contact us via email or phone to discuss the options available.

The Gardner 6LXB

This outstanding six cylinder 10.45 litre engine offers the greatest degree of efficiency, durability and refinement. The specific fuel consumption rate of the engine when directly coupled to the dynamometer is the remarkably low value of 0.330 lb./per b.h.p./hour which represents an overall thermal efficiency of no less than 39.73%. If the engine is operated slightly below maximum torque, it does attain over 40% thermal efficiency. The engine is designed for use with a fresh water closed circuit heat exchanger or keel cooler system. Coolant is circulated at high rate by a centrifugal pump and temperature is automatically controlled at all loads and speeds from idle to maximum output.
