The Adlard Coles Book of Diesel Engines

The Adlard Coles book of Diesel Engines, previously published as the RYA book of diesel Engines is aimed at boat owners rather than experienced mechanics. In clear, jargon free English it explains how a diesel engine works, and how to look after it, and takes into account new developments in engine technology. Based on the RYA's one-day Diesel engine Course, Tim Bartlett explains how the engine uses simple processes to convert fuel to power and then looks at the various sub-systems that allow those processes to take place. He also takes a look at tools, winterizing and provides hints, tips and fault-finding tables.
