- Marine Diesel Engine Maintenance
[Recreation-and-Sports:Boating] In a conventional marine diesel engine the power is produced by hot compressed air igniting fuel sprayed under very high pressure into the cylinder head. A marine diesel engine does not use a carburetor to mix fuel and air or spark plugs to ignite the mixture. Instead it employs the pistons to compress the air to 3000 kPa which causes it to become extremely hot and the fuel is ignited as soon as it is injected into the cylinder.
- Understanding A Marine Exhaust System
[Recreation-and-Sports:Boating] Marine exhausts systems are an important and often overlooked part of a marine engine. Most vessels have a wet exhaust system whereby salt water is injected at the riser - the outlet for exhaust from the exhaust manifold. This mixture of exhaust gas and water then passes through a series of bends until it exits the boat, preferably at the stern.

- Ideal Wine Temperature
[Food-and-Drink:Wine-Spirits] The degree and the speed of temperature change are critical when storing your wine. A gradual change of a few degrees between summer and winter won't matter. The same change each day will harm your wines by aging them too rapidly.
- Start Your Wine Cellar The Right Way
[Food-and-Drink:Wine-Spirits] One of the great joys of wine is to be able to select a bottle from your own cellar, perhaps one that you've been storing for some years, draw the cork and enjoy it with friends.
