If you ever get to Copenhagen Denmark, well before you go visit the proper Denmark, you should visit Diesel house, about the 1 good thing there.
Even if it only take 20 - 30 BAR to start a house sized diesel engine, well it is pretty cool.
And for over 30 years it was the biggest diesel engine in the world CUZ we Danes, we we are diesel even if it was not one of us that came up with the idea, then we took it and ran with it.

Yes it use to power the Danish capitol from 1933 and on, but as i recall not alone.
It is pretty cool it is still there and working, also able to generate power again in a pinch.
When it was no longer the largest diesel in the world, i assume it is CUZ Danish B&W ( Burmeister and Wain engine makers and ship yard ) build a even larger one and put it in a ship.
At some time German MAN snagged up the B&W IP / diesel brainacks. the B&W ship yard ASO is long gone
There is a short flash with the starting air compressor in the video, also spare piston, fule and starting air injectors and the exhaust valve in its assembly and naked valves too.
The ships i sailed have a cylinder diameter of about 80 CM or 31.5 Inches, i in my skinny version in the 90ties had no problem standing on top of the piston with the head off.
Also been in the crank case and exhaust too, in the exhaust it was on hands and knees but i am also 6 foot 3"
Also had to mind your head in the crank case / sump

That i do not know, but when the bunker barge ( floating gas station ) try to screw you over, it is generally for many tonnes of the stuff.
On my first ship the engineer apprentice was supposed to fill a little motor oil on the engine, he put over 1000 liters in it, and it dident mind.
I am not engineer, but they soon figure out i have been around, and so i got to do much of their work.
Of course some times i screw up, like on the Daihatsu AUX engine where i did not secure the fule in / outlet to the injector properly, that cost a load of engine oil as it have been contaminated by fule oil.
Same engine for some reason blew its fule oil pressure gauge now and then, guess who got to clean up the mess that made, damn things do not run on the nice clean diesel we know from out cars, a lot blacker stuff, though it was also not the heavy crude oil you need to keep at a high temperature just to be able to pump the damn stuff around, and if the heating coils in your fule tank blow,,,,, well you are dead in the water soon as you can almost walk on the damn stuff when it is cold.
