UNDERSTANDING THE DIESEL ENGINE
The diesel engine closely resembles the gasoline engine, since the mechanism is essentially the same. The cylinders are arranged above a closed crankcase; the crankshaft is of the same general type as that of a gasoline engine, and the diesel engine has the same types of valves, camshaft, pistons, connecting rods and lubricating system. To a great extent, a diesel engine requires the same preventive maintenance as a gasoline engine. Most important are. proper ventilation and proper maintenance of the fuel, lubricating and cooling systems. Replacement of fuel and lubricating filter elements at the time periods specified and
frequent checking for contamination (water, sediment, etc.) in the fuel system are essential. Also important is the consistent use of a brand of high detergent diesel lubrication oil
designed specifically for diesel engines. The diesel engine does differ from the gasoline engine, however, in its method of handling and firing of fuel. The carburetor and ignition systems are done away with and in their place is a single component (the fuel injection pump) which. performs the function of both.
