Don’t waste your money

Unless you have no idea how a diesel works, don’t bother. But chances are, if you are the type of person thinking about buying the book. You already know everything in the book. It gives no detailed or usable knowledge on how to actually better diagnose engines except broad generalizations that have no value in daily applications.
