METHANE INDEX
• Standard QSK60G - Operates on Natural Gas with a Minimum
Methane Index between 52 & 73 (dependant on model type).

• HE QSK60G - Operates on Natural Gas with a Minimum

Methane Index between 65 & 86 (dependant on model type).

IDLE SPEED
• 900 rpm for all engine models.

COMPRESSION

• QSK60G = 11.4 : 1 or 12 : 1 (dependant on model type).
