Default Re: DT478 Information

Old photo I took from the Jolly page but could not find it again. I Posted here to save for future reference.



Here’s one used in a boat application.

Quote from Alanorion:

“Just an update after using the engine for 18 months in the boat. It has been

totally reliable it has not used any oil it starts first time every time with instant

excellent oil pressure. As I said before I found a local supply for parts and I now

Know of an engineer who has experience of these engines. They were used in

the mining industry for various stationary and heavy machinery use. Of course

there is no chance of over revving the engine in a marine installation as the

propeller size limits the revs in my case to 2500 revs relying on the torque of

the engine and not the BHP. In all I am delighted with the engine and its

performance”
