Hello everyone!,
I just purchased a 1979 Trojan F26 that’s been modified as well as fitted with a 6BT Cummins attached to a Velvet drive transmission. It does run and seems to check out but does not have an hour meter.
My question is regarding coolant. It seems this motor doesn’t have a large coolant tank like most I see. If I open the cap on top of the wet exhaust housing there is indeed coolant in there (green colored) as well as some in the small overflow tank.
Raw seawater comes in and flows through the heat exchanger and out the exhaust. No aftercooler to cool the air as this seems to be a standard 6BT motor and not the BTA version.
Is it okay that this setup doesn’t have the large coolant reservoir that most seem to have?
Thanks in advance!
