European Diesels are a fully independent company specialising in Ruston diesel engines.
What is a Ruston Diesel Engine?
Ruston diesel engines were built during the 1940s in Lincoln, which were originally used as excavators, and power shovels. The Ruston engine was built by Ruston, of Ruston & Hornsby, an industrial manufacturing company in Lincoln who were leaders in heavy oil engines, particularly for cars and steam locomotives.
We stock an extensive selection of parts that fit Ruston engines, commonly used in offshore supply vessels, tugs, tankers, cargo ships, offshore platforms, naval vessels, and land-based power generation.
In addition to bearings, fuel injection equipment, filters, and cylinder head components, we stock reconditioned major components like crankshafts, cylinder heads, rods, and pistons. Ruston engines can be repaired, overhauled, or maintained by European Diesels' in-house service engineers.
We stock and supply parts suitable for use on Ruston engines:
- RK270 MK1
- RK270 MK2
- RK215
- RKG
- RKC
- RK3C
- AP230
- APC

Since starting operations in 1994, European Diesel has built the world’s largest independent inventory of spare parts and previously-owned engines for the Ruston RK and English Electric CSV engine range.
