Lister Petter – other nonroad diesel engines: the collective page of the 2012-certified LPW range (mostly two-cylinder) outside the named models, 10 to 30 kW, Interim Tier 4
Lister Petter has long built the water-cooled LPW engine range in Dursley, Gloucestershire, for generator sets, pumps and stationary drives. This page gathers the versions certified for model year 2012 that the register could not assign to a named range; in the version column, LPWS2 denotes the two-cylinder, LPWS4 the four-cylinder variant. The EPA engine-family codes CL5XL1.86VNI, CL5XL1.86FNI and CL5XL1.86CNI encode the shared 1.86-litre displacement with different charge-air cooling or injection builds.

The register lists here 17 versions with 10 to 30 kW rated output at 1,800 to 3,000 rpm, from two- to four-cylinders in-line with 86 mm bore and 80 mm stroke, all with model year 2012. Maximum torque ranges from 48.5 to 93.9 Nm at 1,800 to 3,000 rpm. Injection is indirect with 300 to 500 ppm diesel, the emission stage is Interim Tier 4 in the 19 to 37 kW power category. LPWS2 dominates the versions with 14 of the 17 engines, only 3 are LPWS4; among engine families, CL5XL1.86VNI and CL5XL1.86FNI lead with 7 each, CL5XL1.86CNI follows with 3.
The 2012 model year marks an early certification step of the LPW range under the Interim Tier 4 stage; the engines drive generator sets, compressors, pumps and light construction machinery in the lower power segment, with an emphasis on rugged two-cylinder versions for stationary use.
When buying used, on these now decade-old 2012 engines, operating hours and the service history of the injection pump, the condition of the glow-plug system, and the tightness of crankshaft seals and valve cover matter especially; on the rarer four-cylinder LPWS4 versions, running smoothness is also worth checking. Spares for the LPW range are well available through the Lister Petter dealer network for this model year too.
