Other Slow Speed Diesels / Deutz single-cylinder diesel
« on: April 04, 2006, 02:14:05 PM »
Hi all,
This isn't really a slow-speed diesel, but this seems like the most appropriate forum I can find for this topic. I've run across a Deutz F1L-208D single-cylinder diesel for sale. It's NOS military surplus. Apparently the US military has lots and lots of these. I've read that they were/are used to run small compressors and heat small buildings (). Looks like they were also marketed as inboard motors for small sailboats. From what I can tell, it looks very similar to the Yanmar-type single cylinder engines.
I found some specs here: http://website.lineone.net/~trucks.morley/Products/Deutz/fl208.htm
Wondering if anyone has experience with this particular engine. I'm considering it for a diesel motorcycle conversion.
