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
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.
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
filler
elements
must
be
replaced
at
the
time
periods
specified
and
frequent
checking
for
contaminations
(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
eugine
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.
ORDERING
PARTS
Whenever
replacement
parts
are
needed,
always
provide the
engine
model
number
and
engine
serial
number
as
they
appear
on
the silver

black
name
plate
located on the
martifold.
You
must
provide
us
with
this
information so
we
may
properly
identify
your
engine.
In
addition,
include a
complete
part
description
and
part number
for
each part
needed
(see
the separately

to
the
same
specifications
as
original
