Cummins B6.7 Octane

[1969]

Cummins just released their first gas powered engine. 300 horsepower with 660 pound-feet of maximum torque. Lower output versions in the 200-hp range with 600 lb-ft of torque are also available. Maxes out around 1,600 to 1,800 rpm.

Who is gonna be the first to put one in an EB?!

That looks really tall. I wonder what the dimensions are?

I think it would be great in an FSB, maybe a bit big/heavy for an EB

I remember seeing some of this last year. Same basic engine can be built to run Diesel, Gasoline, or Hydrogen. Not interchangable in use, specific builds for each.
A couple years ago I was doing some work in Sacramento and Cummins was putting in a Hydrogen fueling station for an upcoming engine.
I can also thing of a bunch of semi trucks I have seen running around on CNG, which takes spark plugs and is not that different than a gasoline engine. Big truck engines are no longer diesel only. Although for a 6.7 I would guess this would fall more into the medium duty trucks. Neighbor rented the largest Ryder truck he could get when he moved the big load of stuff cross country. Think it was an F650 chassis. It had the 7.3 Godzilla gas engine in it. detuned, or more specificly specially tuned for the job.. I want to say he was pulling 12 or 13 MPG with it. The F350 service trucks at work struggles to pull 10 MPG with the Powerstroke.
