Atlas Copco QES 60 generator strip-down (timelapse)
We are disassembling the Atlas Copco QES 60 generator with a Cummins engine because we need to remove the fuel tank. We work quickly because the customer asked us to return the generator. All fluids are drained from the Cummins engine — coolant, engine oil and diesel fuel. The control panel is disconnected from the generator, then all cable harnesses, the radiator and the diesel fuel heater. In the video it doesn't look like very tedious work.

Replacement of injectors between MTU and Mercedes engines
There is little difference between the injectors of the MTU and Mercedes OM4x series engines, so we decided to swap the injectors between these engines to find out whether they are interchangeable.
