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.
Still in high demand today, and used worldwide in yachts, workboats and the classic automotive industry.
The Gardner Diesel Engine – 6LXB is fully supported with sales, service and spare parts.
We remanufactured and supplied twin 6LXB engines for MY Bounty to Berton Boat Company in 2007
