Perhaps to check compression / fuel is reaching all cylinders? Das boot has a similar sequence where the engineer open a valve on each cylinder on the diesel engines and flames shoot out Edited September 16, 2018 by Ray T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A method of verifying that all Cylinders are operating correctly if a Valve is part opened and the Engine slows or changes note it indicate that the chosen Cylinder was doing it's thing. Or it could be fuel bleeding valve ,but not so likely. Edited September 16, 2018 by cereal tiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could keep the Air intake high it could be a Submarine Dredger ,a Corkscrew/Archimedes style Prop. would help and a safety device to stop it tilting down and start Heading for the Earth's Core!

Sir Nibble Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Looks considerably smaller than the engines on an A class boat like Alliance at the submarine museum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
