As soon as I saw that engine I said "It's a Polish WOLA". POLISH not RUSSIAN. During the numerous strikes and the Electricity cuts leading to 3 day week working in 1974 there were loads of those generators imported to keep industry working. They came in by the shipload to try to keep industry going. At the time I was working in a large Textile Mill in Lancashire and they managed to get hold of two sets. They were brilliant, never missed a beat and we ran them for 96 hours straight at a time to keep production going. I can't remember the power rating but we kept two six floor textiles mills running and no loss of production. The two we got were in full outdoor packs so completely weatherproof. We piped them direct to a 5000 gallon diesel tank and ran them on Red Diesel. They were placed at the back of the main boilerhouse and we ran the exhaust into the flue and straight up the main 140 ft brick chimney, so no silencers were needed. They did use a lot of engine oil, that was the only running issue we had. One of them did have a dodgy starter motor from new but they were also piped up for high pressure Air starting, so thats how we fired one of them up. We never did get a replacement starter delivered. The fact that they are/were governed to 1500rpm meant they were running sweet all the time, not like if they go into a tank I suppose. Being piped up for Air starting, I've since wondered if they could also have been for use in submarines, we'll never likely know. So in true Mr Hewes style... Tanks for the memories. Cracking engines, just heavy on Oil.
@@johnnunn8688 the tax on fuel is for transportation. If you have a diesel generator you don't pay fuel tax. If you put any kind of fuel in your vehicle you have to pay the tax. You could use red diesel in your diesel car if you paid the appropriate fuel tax.
We all have that “I knew a guy” story. Well I actually knew a guy who once got arrested in a ‘78 Cadillac. He was only doing a buck twenty in a 50mph zone.
I've just come back from France. Smooth roads, incredible provision of public realm stuff in even the smallest of towns, litter bins where you need them, no fly tipping and not one collision on the roads. Coming back to the UK was like entering hell. As you say - rubbish everywhere, even when bins are provided.
I have lived in France for over 23 years and totally agree. I had to return to the UK last week for some family business, it was a real culture shock. Rubbish every where and more pot holes than the moon surface. Plus its so crowded!
Oil pressure gauge and amp meter made in Poland. Amp gauge is clever design, press the button to switch from Amps to Volts. Used on a lot of military vehicles and farming tractors back in the day.
This is not the same as the tank engine you need.. this is an industrial version. It has a different crankcase and crankshaft. You can use its cylinder banks, pistons, conrods and heads to fix a tank engine. It might even have valve stem seals, so it might please Greta a bit. Edit; you also noticed that🤓
How often would it have been used? It’s in the dry, some bloke cared for it just in case it was needed in emergency but it’s done very few hours I’ll bet.

don't blame him, the swearing at the traffic between asda island and st peters bridge is completly understandable. horrible bit of road design there. 2 lanes going into 1 at the bridge. also all the town traffic coming to the bridge island and also from Branston on the right.
When hewes does his impression of the people in the comments that makes me hope that at some event a large group of his fans just walk up to him talking like that 😂
I can't believe an NHS trust had that in a backup generator system. Other than when it would have been commissioned and its yearly run-up and load testing, that's the longest it's probably ever run in its life. Nice and clean running with no smog
I worked at a hospital on merseyside which had two back up generators located in shipping containers near the boiler house. Not too loud at all when running through their 6 foot silencers might have helped. Not smokey either, very clean.
Adam's repair mantra, "If it can't be fixed with a hammer, it can't be fixed at all, and if it breaks, it needed replacing anyway." Cheers guys, John in Canada
Totally agree the littering in the uk is vile. Watched a guy in Australia go into a car spares shop and he asked for two cans of start you bastard. They knew he wanted easy start??
my old dad no longer with us drove a Scania 110 and picked me up from school in it keystroke Weston super mare, in the 70 76. but the sound of your Scania is bloody awesome. give me some more of that any day plz its better than Cumming ha ha.
I like the Band of Brothers paint job. My uncle was a port of the group, was there on D-Day and has been talked about in several books.

When i served in the army back in the days, we had T-55 tanks that had this 38.8l motor :D I drove one of those :D Now we have Leopard 2A6-tanks. Greetings from Finland.
Seen one tractor pulling and it had twin turbos as the exhaust is closed to the air inlet ( the guy got his in Poland from a huge barn full of new engines in there crates left by the rusks when the wall fell ) .....he wiped the floor with the rest of the opposition 👍

The prescribed treatment for Cadillac arrest is to use a Dodgefibrillator (according to the GMC guidelines). Remember to plug it back into the Dodge Charger afterwards.
Years ago the company I worked at removed the local hospital standby generator engine only which was installed in I think 1957. I was about the same size but Made in England. It was a work of art imo. I can't remember the name anymore. Every sensor and attendant device marked made in England. Was in service about 21 22 years and replaced to keep the Ministry grants up high as I doubt it had failed. Probably couldn't get parts anymore.
From a book that I have got... The RAF had the same sort of setup in WW2 (they mainly come on wheels to be moved around the base but also skid setup like this one) for remote power generators for the RAF bases or backup power. My book goes into detail after the RAF was finished with them/there was more than needed they were used as backup power for hospitals mainly with a few going to council main buildings.
I don't blame you for not wanting to hang around in Burton on Trent, I live 4 miles away over the river in Derbyshire, and I won't go into Burton unless I have to 😂😂

we stumbled across one of your videos, watched it, now we are totally hooked on what you do. I am Debbie and my hubbie is Dave he likes to restore steam engines, Dave and the rest of the club has taken a fowler t3 apart put in a new boiler and firebox and last week he made a new ashpan for it and it looks fantastic. They basically restored everything that needed doing kept the parts that were good to use and put it all back together. They have been out on a few short runs round. It went to Banbury Rally there is another one coming up soon. i love your channel I have subscribed and we are going over all of them BRILLIANT thanks look forward to the next one xxxxxxxxx🥰😃😃🥰
Took exactly the same type of unit out of a Russian Drill ship back in 1998. Was used as The ships emergency generator. Taken out and replaced by a Cat 3512 set up as it did not meet Western Class standards. Not sure what happened to it. I do have the Soviet Star emblem somewhere.
Looking at this again, I am amazed you did all this working 6ft up from ground level! It would have been much safer at ground level for all of you, and the same challenge.
A testimony to your skills as mechanics in identifying and modifying that safety valve thingy. Can't help wondering, how many people 'flat-lined' in the hospital whilst waiting for this generator to start.
Im with you Mr Hewes on your view's on littering... absolutely hate it... I live in a rural area and I often see hedgerows full of litter... absolutely no need of it..
I used to do some work at West Hampstead signal box where they had a rolls Royce submarine engine as a back up generator. It was remove two or three years ago. An absolute beast! Although couldn’t imagine anyone there would have known how to fire it up if ever needed!
This will have had everything it ever needed and maintained without expense. Wouldn't have been used to run a hospital, it'll have been used to support the UPS on essential supply circuit for hospital. Bank of batteries would catch the drop in milliseconds and then the genny would fire up and equalize supply in about a minute or two. BT had loads of these type os set ups in telephone exchanges too.
The water cooled exhaust manifolds were to keep the engine room/house temp down otherwise your combustion air will get too hot and efficiency will drop. I run a pair of 15L 903s.
I still believe you to be the best mechanic on youtube! I am from Oklahoma and you’re partner would be at home on our range, he looks the part of cowboy!
No disservice to Mr Hewes and his crack team, but if you enjoy pondering ‘how the bloody hell has he got THAT started’ have a look for Jennings Motor Sport on here. He pulls 1920s wrecks out of woods and gets them going with usually nothing more than a jump pack, a squirt bottle of fuel and some kero. Literally amazing.
I watch another channel on tank restorations at the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum in Canberra, here in Australia, they do a cracking job as well but I heard them comment about a real shortage of motors and spares for some of their tanks, I reckon if you ever heard of spare motors lying around they would be interested in hearing from you.

Doesn't seem to matter where you are, even in the deepest countryside the hedgerows are lined with lazy peoples rubbish!

Emergency generators often have very few running hours and are well maintained so this one might be in mint condition!
