Booklist Review

Organized by sections and then into chapters, this covers its subject exhaustively and well. Section 1 reviews the basics of internal-combustion engine operation, distinguishing between gasoline and diesel engines. Section 2 examines in great detail the fuel delivery and air-filtration systems. Section 3 includes thorough descriptions of carburetor and fuel injection operations and a comparison of gasoline and diesel injection systems. Section 4 offers a complete explanation of the turbocharger system and its exhaust system plumbing. Section 5, a catchall, tells how to use automotive repair manuals and also covers job opportunities for fuel system specialists and the advantages of becoming a certified mechanic. Overall, an excellent, up-to-date book that is easy to understand and follow. Recommended both as a library reference book and a text for auto shop classes. Index.
