It has natural aspiration and 4 cylinders with a power output of 61 hp. It uses a liquid cooling system that needs 9.9 liters of coolant. The other engine is a Perkins AG4-212 gasoline engine. This also has 4 cylinders and natural aspiration, but has a slightly bigger displacement of 3.5 liters. It also has a liquid cooling system that needs 9.9 liters of coolant to be completely filled.
