TWICE the hours of operation per gallon of fuel.
Faultless performance is the norm, rather than the exception. A
choice of 27 premium quality air-cooled Avco-VM's (5 to 670-hp)
means there’s one that’s right for your application.
Modular, unitized construction means fewer specialized parts,
lower weight per hp, lower maintenance costs, 70% parts in
terchangeability and they’ll fit the tightest space.
