COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Basic theories of fluids in motion theory, different fuels, lubricants and coolants and construction and
operational principles of fuel, lubrication and cooling systems: all the components of the fuel, lubrication
and cooling systems such as: LPG, Fuel system: fuel lines, pumps, carburetors, lubricating systems: oil
pumps and filter: cooling systems: water pumps, radiators, thermostats, cooling system operation test etc..
(Two-stroke engine included). Perform preventive and diagnostic maintenance on the fuel, lubrication and
cooling systems.
