Service points

Most of the servicing on a diesel engine is similar to that on a petrol engine.

Fitting a new oil filter and changing the engine oil is exactly the same, as is setting the valve clearances.

Replacing the air filter can differ from a petrol engine depending on the design of filter fitted.

The main difference lies in servicing the fuel system, particularly the fuel filter.

In many ways a diesel engine is less complicated than a petrol engine, with greater reliability and a longer working life. There is little difference between servicing a diesel and a petrol engine except that the diesel has no ignition system to worry about. However, the fuel system needs very careful attention, as part of the regular service, to prevent dirt and water in the fuel damaging it.

Filter/water trap

The very small working clearances in diesel engine injector pumps and injectors means it is vital that the fuel passing through the system is always clean.
