This outstanding eight cylinder 13.93 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 0.339 lb./per b.h.p./hour which represents an overall thermal efficiency of over 40%. 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 – 8LXB is fully supported with sales, service and spare parts.
We have undertaken a top end rebuild of this 8LXB engine in-situ and service it annually on her way north to the Artic Circle.
