Compression Ratio: 15.0:1 Displacement: 3,067 in3 (50.3 L)
Fuel System: Cummins MCRS Aspiration: Turbocharged and Aftercooled, 2-Stg
Turbocharged and Aftercooled
Emission Certification: U.S. EPA Tier 2
All data is based on the engine operating with fuel system, water pump, and 18 in H2O (4.48 kPa) inlet air restriction with 5.83 in (148 mm)
inner diameter, and with 2 in Hg (7 kPa) exhaust restriction with 7.79 in (198 mm) inner diameter; not included are alternator, fan, optional
equipment and driven components. Coolant flows and heat rejection data based on coolants as 50% ethylene glycol/50% water. All data is
subject to change without notice.

Curves shown above represent gross engine performance capabilities obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 conditions of 29.61
in Hg (100 kPa) barometric pressure [300ft (91m) altitude] 77 deg F (25 deg C) inlet air temperature, and 0.30 in Hg (1kPa) water vapor pressure
with No. 2 diesel fuel. The engine may be operated up to 10,000 ft (3,048 m) altitude before electronic derate is applied.
