4BT
Cummins

Compact, Durable, and Versatile Power for a Wide Range of Applications
The Cummins 4BT is a highly respected, compact diesel engine renowned for its exceptional durability, fuel efficiency, and mechanical simplicity. As the 4-cylinder member of the legendary B-Series family, it delivers robust performance and legendary reliability in a space-saving package. Its straightforward design ensures easy maintenance and long service life, making it a trusted and versatile power source across numerous industries worldwide, from demanding industrial equipment to enthusiast vehicle conversions.
The 4BT's compact size and high torque output make it ideal for applications where space is limited but reliable power is critical.
Marine Applications: A favored choice for fishing boats, tugboats, and small to medium-sized commercial vessels due to its reliability and fuel efficiency in harsh conditions.
Construction & Agricultural Machinery: Powers a variety of equipment such as excavators, skid steers, loaders, tractors, and combine harvesters, where its low-RPM torque excels at heavy lifting and tough terrain.
Industrial & Power Generation: Used to drive stationary equipment, generators, and industrial air compressors, providing dependable power for long periods.
Vehicle Conversions & Off-Road Use: Extremely popular in the enthusiast community for swaps into trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs. Its compact dimensions (approx. 30" long) and potential for high fuel economy make it a prime candidate for custom off-road and overland builds.
Proven Mechanical Fuel System: Utilizes a reliable, mechanically controlled fuel injection system (such as the Bosch P7100 pump). This simplicity allows for easier maintenance and repair without the need for complex electronic diagnostics, which is a significant advantage in remote or rugged environments.
Robust and Durable Architecture: Built with a heavy-duty cast-iron block and cylinder head for maximum strength. The integrated design philosophy reduces the number of parts, which dramatically lowers the potential for failures and leaks, contributing to an average time between major overhauls (MTBO) that can reach 6000 hours or more with proper maintenance.
Efficient Turbocharged Performance: The turbocharger forces more air into the combustion chamber, significantly improving power density and fuel efficiency from the 3.9L displacement. This results in strong low-end torque, which is essential for equipment startup and heavy-load applications.
