Summary

Containing over 1,000 illustrations that depict step-by-step applications of diesel engine usage, this hands-on, "how-to" guide provides complete coverage of the function, design, operation, diagnosis, service, and repair of the various systems and components of diesel engines, diesel fuel injection systems, and electronic control systems. May be used to prepare for certification testing in the following areas: Induction, Exhaust, and Turbocharger Systems; Battery, Starting, and Charging Systems; Cooling and Lubrication Systems; Diesel Fuel Injection Systems--including Multiplunger Injection Pumps, Distributor Injection Pumps, High-Pressure Fuel Injection Lines and Injection Nozzles; Unit Injector Fuel Systems; Mechanical Governor Systems; Electronic Fuel Injection Control Systems; Engine Diagnosis, Performance Testing, and Tune-Up; and Cylinder Heads and Valves. Offers complete chapters on diesel engine operation and classification; exhaust and turbocharger system service; cooling system principles and service; lubrication system principles and service; diesel fuel injection; governing fuel delivery; Cummins PT fuel injection system, and much more. Discusses Caterpillar's HEUI fuel injection systems and Mack Trucks V-MAC II and V-MAC III electronic control systems; air-to-air aftercooler service; split shot fuel injection; intake manifold air heater; and propylene glycol and ethylene glycol coolants. Emphasizes the importance of safety, and show how to recognize potential hazards, avoid accidents and injury, and develop safe working habits. For technical trades.
