<p>[quote user="M636C"]Would it be possible to fit the existing 7FDL-16 with SCR?[/quote]</p> <p>Engine wise it should be technically possible. I haven't seen a SCR retrofit kit yet. How much more weight can the P42's monocoque and the trucks carry? There are the four corner post with a load spreading structure already.</p> <p>IIRC we talked about weight of SCR for CAt egines in another thread. Was it 6,000 lbs?</p> <p>[quote user="M636C"]There is probably enough room over the engine in a P42 to fit an SCR outfit.[/quote]</p> <p>Here are two photos of part of the engine room: <span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height:115%;"><a>https://youtu.be/SRValOA7TZo?t=2929</a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height:115%;"><a href="https://youtu.be/SRValOA7TZo?t=2929"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height:115%;"><a href="https://youtu.be/SRValOA7TZo?t=3166"><span lang="DE"><a>https://youtu.be/SRValOA7TZo?t=3166</a></span></a></span></a></span></span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height:115%;"><span lang="DE">They are at 48:48 and 52:46 of this video about the P42: <span style="line-height:115%;"><a>https://youtu.be/SRValOA7TZo</a></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height:115%;"><span lang="DE"><span style="line-height:115%;">I think weight is the larger problem.</span></span></span></span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height:115%;"><span lang="DE"><span style="line-height:115%;">If you want to rebuild and accept SCR remotoring with a high-speed diesel like the Cummins QSK95 might be a way. At least it solves the weight restrictions and provides Tier 4:<br />Regards, Volker</span></span></span></span></p>
