I have read with interest Cranetrucks reply in a previous post about the difference between the 5ton and 2.5ton multifuel engines.
Can anyone else elaborate on this. I have always thought that the 5ton and 2.5ton engines were the same. Are there any other differences apart from pistons, injectors and turbo? In what way are they different. Is the Turbo bigger? Does it still "whistle" like the 465-1C? Is the fuel consumption more? Are the injectors bigger, and if so is the fuel pump different? Is this engine a better bet to buy than a 2.5ton engine?
Does anyone know all the differences? There are 2 for sale in England, an M54 5ton Cargo and an M51 5ton Dumper. The answers here might help me to buy a 5ton. I was looking for a 2.5, but if the engine in the 5ton puts out more power, then that's only a good thing.
What is the extra weight of a 5ton compared to a 2.5???
I lookforward to your replys.
