Trouble Shooting of Diesel Engine

Abstract

This textbook on Trouble-shooting of Diesel engine has been compiled for use by the Regional Training Course for Fishery Extension Officers in Marine Capture Fisheries and also for use by the Marine Engineering Course trainees of the Training Department, SEAFDEC. The Diesel engine has proven itself to be a dependable source of economical power, especially in the marine field. However, in spite of the recent considerable technical progress, it is not possible to guarantee one hundred percent reliability of the Diesel engine. Even with correct operation and good maintenance, troubles may occur; they should be detected in early stages and corrective action should be taken immediately. Failure to do so may have catastrophic consequences for the crew or at least lead to heavy economic losses.
