CARBON
MONOXIDE
DETECTOR
WES1ERBEKE
recommends
mounting
a carbon
monoxide
detector
in
the
vessels
living
quarters.
Carbon
mono:xide,
even
in small amounts,
is
deadly.
The
presence
of
carbon
monoxide
indicates
an
exhaust leak
from
the
engine·
or
generator
or
from
the
exhaust
elbow/exhaust
hose,
or
the
fumes
from
a nearby
vessel
are
entering
your
boat.
.
If
carbon
monoxide
is
present,
ventilate the
area
with
clean
air
and
correct
the
problem
immediately!
NOTE:
A
carbon
monoxide
warning
decal
has
been
provided
by
WESTSRBEKE.
Affix
this
decal
in
a
visible
position
in
the
engine
room.
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,
cbnnecting
rods
and lubricating
system.
Therefore,
to
a great extent, a diesel engine
requires
the
same
preventive
maintenance
as
a gasoline
engine.
The
most important factors
are
proper ventilation
and
proper
maintenance
of
the
fuel,
·lubricating
arid
cooling
systems.
Replacement
of fuel and lubricating
filter
elements at
the
time
periods
specifi~d
is a
must,
and frequent
checking
for
contanlination (that is,
water,
sediment, etc.) in
the
fuel
system
is
also
essential.
Another important
factor
is
the
use
of
the
same
brand
of
high
detergent
diesel
lubrication
oil
designed
specifically
for
diesel
engines.
The diesel engine does differ fromthe gasoline
engine,
however,
in
its
methodof.han.~g
and
firing
of
fuel.
The
carburetor
and
ignition systems
ttre
done
away
with
and
in
their
place
is
a single component-
the
fuel
injection
pump
-
which
performs
the
function of
both.
ORDERING
