A lot has changed since I went to my last diesel class in 1984..
Heat transfer is the same. See Edumecate Me Thread.
However, there were only FIVE type fuel systems in 1983 that break down to four basic types
http://hawaii.hawaii.edu/ate/dieselcoursedescript.htm
1. Rotary Distributor pump (like Bosche VE - Standadyne, Lucas, Mimmec,etc )
2. Inline Pump (like Bosche P, Catterpiller, Mimmec, etc)
3. Unit Injector (Like Detroit 2 cycle)
4. PT-Pressure Time fuel systems (like 250 -400 Cummins)
In my day 2300 PSI was really putting it to an injector...
Now there are WHAT -- four more...FIVE???
1. Common rail
2. Electronic direct injector
3. HUEI
4. ???

I started thinking about this a few weeks ago, a local college in Richmond was looking for an instructor for a Diesel class. They called me in, out the auto body class. While I do not have the extra time right now, I helped them write the Program of Instruction (POI) and class outline summary, and decide what to teach in the time they wanted (2 classes of 75 hours = 150) a non- certification course. Course, they are still looking for that instructor... Anyone?
