The Adlard Coles Book of Diesel Engines, previously published as the RYA Book of Diesel Engines, is aimed at boat owners rather than experienced mechanics. In clear, jargon-free English, it explains how a diesel engine works, and how to look after it, and takes into account new developments in engine technology.

Based on the RYA's one-day diesel engine course, Tim Bartlett explains how the engine uses simple processes to convert fuel to power and then looks at the various sub-systems that allow those processes to take place:

• The fuel system
• The air system
• The cooling system
• The oil system
• The electrical system
• Propellers and the transmission system
• The control system

Finally, Tim Bartlett takes a look at tools, working practices and winterizing, as well as providing handy hints and tips and fault-finding tables.
