The Deutz BF6M1013FC is a liquid-cooled,
turbocharged and intercooled, in-line 6-cylinder diesel engine that
belongs to the renowned 1013 family from Deutz AG. This engine
represents a bridge between mechanical robustness and electronic
precision, offered with a standard mechanical centrifugal governor and
an optional Electronic Motor Regulator (EMR).
The “C” in the model designation denotes a specific power calibration
within the 1013 series, delivering 313 hp for demanding industrial and
automotive applications. Known for its high power-to-volume ratio of up
to 33 kW per liter, the BF6M1013FC features a monobloc construction with
a high grey cast iron crankcase, single injection pumps integrated into
the crankcase for each cylinder, and a closed-circuit breather system.
This engine family was designed to meet emission standards from Euro II
through Euro IV when paired with advanced injection systems like the
Deutz MV-System or Common-Rail. Operators in construction, mining, and
commercial vehicle sectors value this engine for its compact dimensions,
gear-driven power take-off (PTO) capabilities, and extended maintenance
intervals.
The Deutz BF6M1013FC operates on the four-stroke diesel cycle. Its
inline configuration with six cylinders provides inherent primary and
secondary balance, reducing the need for external balance shafts. The
engine employs a turbocharger and an intercooler to increase air density
before entry into the cylinders. This engine is offered in multiple
power ratings depending on the specific application (G-series for
generator drives or FC for high-load industrial use).

The cylinder block is constructed from high grey cast iron, utilizing a
monobloc construction design. This means the cylinders and the upper
crankcase are cast as a single rigid unit, enhancing structural
integrity and reducing noise, vibration, and harshness. The block
features a parent bore design where the cylinders are machined directly
into the casting.
A closed-circuit crankcase breather system is integrated into the block
to route blow-by gases back into the intake, reducing emissions. The
deep-skirt design extends below the crankshaft centerline, providing
robust support for the seven main bearings. The crankcase also houses
the integrated single injection pumps for each cylinder, which are
driven by the camshaft.
The BF6M1013FC utilizes a single, block-type cylinder head made of grey
cast iron spanning all six cylinders. The valve arrangement follows a
pushrod design with one intake and one exhaust overhead valve per
cylinder, resulting in a total of 12 valves for the engine. While two
valves per cylinder is less common in modern high-speed diesels, this
configuration offers simplicity and robustness for heavy-duty industrial
torque characteristics.
The cylinder head is designed to withstand high thermal and mechanical
loads, providing optimal cooling channels around the valve seats and
injectors. Valve actuation is managed by a camshaft located in the
crankcase, with pushrods and rocker arms transferring motion to the
valves. The valve rotators on the exhaust valves help maintain clean
valve seats and extend service life.
The fuel system on the BF6M1013FC employs a unique integration strategy.
Instead of a single centralized inline pump, it features single
injection pumps for each cylinder integrated directly into the
crankcase. These individual pumps are actuated by the camshaft lobe and
connected via high-pressure lines to the six-hole nozzle injectors
located in the cylinder head.
This design reduces the length of high-pressure lines compared to a
single central pump, improving injection consistency. A fuel lift pump
is integrated into the V-belt tensioner, simplifying the front-end
accessory drive layout. Standard engines are governed by a mechanical
centrifugal governor, providing precise speed control for generator sets
and industrial constant-speed applications.
For variable-speed applications requiring tighter emissions control, the
optional EMR (Electronic Motor Regulator) electronic engine governor is
available, offering improved response and integration with vehicle
CAN-bus systems. The injection system is calibrated to achieve exhaust
emission levels meeting Euro II standards.
The lubrication system is a forced-feed circulation design. A gear-type
pump draws oil from the sump and pushes it through a full-flow,
replaceable-cartridge paper microfilter. The filtered oil then passes
through an oil cooler before entering the main oil gallery. The system
delivers pressurized oil to the crankshaft main bearings, connecting rod
bearings, camshaft bearings, and the turbocharger center housing.
The engine utilizes a replaceable-cartridge full flow filter, which
simplifies maintenance and ensures high filtration efficiency. Oil
change intervals are determined by operating hours and the quality of
the lubricant used.
Normal Oil Pressure: 4.0-6.0 bar (58-87 psi) at rated rpm.
Oil Capacity: 22 L (23.2 quarts) including filter.
Oil Specification: Deutz Oil TLX 10W40FE or API CI-4 or higher.
The cooling system is a liquid-cooled, thermostatically controlled
circuit. A centrifugal water pump circulates coolant through the
cylinder block, cylinder head, and turbocharger. The system features a
thermostatically controlled bypass to ensure rapid warm-up and stable
operating temperatures. The coolant first circulates through the block,
then passes through the cylinder head, and finally through the external
radiator where heat is dissipated to the ambient air.
The intercooler (charge air cooler) is integrated into the cooling
circuit to reduce intake air temperature after turbocharging. The
thermostat is designed to open at 83°C (181°F) and fully open at 98°C
(208°F). An alarm is triggered at 108°C (226°F), with a shutdown
threshold at 110°C (230°F).
Coolant Temperature: 83°C-98°C (181°F-208°F) under normal operation.
Coolant Capacity (Engine only): 9.8 L (10.4 quarts).
Coolant Capacity (Complete system): 27.3 L (28.8 quarts).
Air Induction: Air enters through a dry-type air cleaner, passes through
the turbocharger compressor, then the intercooler, and finally the
intake manifold. The maximum intake air restriction is 25 mbar before
the air cleaner needs servicing.
Electrical System: 24V DC starting system. The engine is equipped with a
6 kW starter motor and a 35 A alternator. Two 12V 100 Ah batteries
connected in series provide the required 24V supply.
Exhaust System: The maximum allowable exhaust back pressure is 30 mbar.
The maximum exhaust temperature at rated load is 540°C (1,004°F).
Crankcase Breather: Closed-circuit system, routing blow-by gases back to
the intake manifold to prevent environmental release.
Power Take-Off (PTO): Gear-driven PTO capabilities are integrated into
the front gear train, allowing direct mounting of hydraulic pumps
without auxiliary frames.

increasing to 640-708 kg (1,411-1,561 lbs) with a flywheel, alternator,
starter, and exhaust system.
Oil Change Interval: Every 250 operating hours or annually. Severe duty
cycles with high loading or poor fuel quality require more frequent
changes. Oil Filter Change: Replace with every oil change. Use a genuine
Deutz full-flow cartridge filter. Fuel Filter Change: Replace primary
and secondary filters every 500 operating hours or sooner if water
contamination is detected in the water separator. Valve Clearance
