Innovations by Bosch in the field of diesel-injection technology have made a significant contribution to the diesel boom in Europe in the last few years. These systems make the diesel engine at once quieter, more economical, more powerful, and lower in emissions. This reference book provides a comprehensive insight into the extended diesel fuel-injection systems and into the electronic system used to control the diesel engine. This book also focuses on minimizing emissions inside of the engine and exhaust-gas treatment (e.g., by particulate filters). The texts are complemented by numerous detailed drawings and illustrations.
This 4th Edition includes new, updated and extended information on several subjects including:
- History of the diesel engine
- Common-rail system
- Minimizing emissions inside the engine
- Exhaust-gas treatment systems
- Electronic Diesel Control (EDC)
- Start-assist systems
- Diagnostics (On-Board Diagnosis)
With these extensions and revisions, the 4th Edition of Diesel-Engine Management gives the reader a comprehensive insight into today's diesel fuel-injection technology.

The best book I have read on diesel systems
By Amazon Customer
This book very thoroughly explains the functions of the diesel injection systems. I would guess you could say Bosch wrote the book on diesel injection and this is the book.
There seems to be something odd about some of the wording in the book. I guess it is the translation. I found if I would ask what other words could be substituted, it made it clear. Example: I would substitute the word 'power' where the book uses 'torque'. This makes the book a little slow to read, but once you get the knack of it, you will find the book very informative in understanding the systems.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand diesel systems better. This explains how and why things work, not just what things do.
I only gave it four starts because of the translation. Everything else is there.

What you need to know about Diesel and more
By Gan Jia Jye
The book is about modern diesel engine technology from Bosch‘s knowledge base. It clears the confusion and misconception about Common Rail technology as compared to other diesel technology. Most of the diesel injection technologies on the market today are explained with the aid of diagrams.

Excellent technical book
By JimWorm
I am not a mechanic, but have had several diesel cars, and just wanted more "basic" information regarding how they work and what terms such as "Common Rail Direct Injection", etc. meant. This book is overkill for what I was looking for, but there really were no other books that gave me the details that I wanted. It is a very hard to read, technical book, but has everything you would ever want to know about diesel engines. For the price, if you have more than a casual interest in how diesel engines work, you will find the book worthwhile. If your job involves managing diesel engines, you absolutely need to have this book in you library. I would recommend this book, with the understanding that this is not a "casual reader" type of book.

Great at describing how the latest Diesel engines work
not for 2001
regret buying
