UNDERSTANDING
THE
QIESEL
ENGINE
The
diesel
engirie
closely
resembles
the gasoline engine,
since
the
mechanism
is
essentially
the
same.
The
cylinders
are
arranged
above
a
closed
crankcase. The crankshaft
is
the
same
general
type
as
a
gasoline
engine, and
the
diesel
engine
has
the
same
types
of
valves,
camshaft, pistons, connecting
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 and
cooling
systems.
Fuel
and
lubricating
filter
elements must be replaced
at
the
time
periods
specified,
and
frequent checking for
contamination
(water,
sediment,
etc.) in the
fuel
system
is
also
essential.
Another
important
factor
is
the
consistent
use
of
the
same
brand of high detergent diesel
lubrication
oil
desigoed
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 replaced
by
a single
component'-
the
fuel
injection pump - which performs
the
function of both.
