What are the fluid capacities for a diesel locomotive? oil and coolant specifically.?

Question

im a truck diesel mechanic and ive always wondered.

Answer 1

The big ones hold about 350 gallons of oil and up to 800 gallons of water.

Answer 2

It's been a long time, but if memory serves, the crankcase of an old SD-45 prime mover held about 350 gallons of oil,

Cooling water capacity a little less, around 275 gallons.  (They don't use anti-freeze.  The water appears as coolant because of a dye that is added to the water which flouresces under a black light.  This is necessary for detecting small leaks).

Fuel tanks vary in size, but most of the heavy road power had a 4,000+ gallon capacity on the locos of the SP.

Governor oil capacity was measured in pints, but I have forgotten the total amount.

Answer 3

Man good question .....i dont know but i would guess it would be 55 gallon drum time on the oil and no tellin how much anti-freezze..........i never eyeballed one with the hood up
