"There are some things in life we cannot grasp
without assistance..and now I'm using Andrew Simpson's
brain to help me tackle my diesel engine. This wonderful
little book has genuinely enlightened me... Now I am
empowered and will, henceforth, make a stab at behaving
like a mechanic.
"Andrew's 96 page book covers how the engine works
and the part played by fuel, air, cooling, electrics,
lubrication and transmission. He then moves on to
maintenance, troubleshooting, and DIY mechanics, from
bleeding the fuel system to repacking a stern gland."
