If the owner of a diesel engine wants it to run smoothly, efficiently, and reliably, proper operation and maintenance are essential. This book focuses on those all-important areas, to the exclusion of repairs and overhauls, which the average owner can't, doesn't want to, or shouldn't tackle anyway. The first chapter presents fundamental principles and identifies the separate systems (fuel, cooling, etc.). In subsequent chapters these systems are explained and the required maintenance tasks presented in checklist format; safety precautions are also stressed. A separate chapter is devoted to engine operation: warm-up, normal running, and shutdown.…mehr

He has written articles for Yachting, Appliance, and Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration News, and is a member of the American Society of Gas Engineers and the Carbon Monoxide Safety and Health Association. His technical writings have been published in technical magazines and engineering society transactions, and he has more than twenty U.S. and foreign patents. He is the author of Diesel Engines: A Boat Owner's Guide to Operation and Maintenance.
