reducing wear and extending component life. The selection of appropriate
lubricants is essential, as they must withstand high temperatures and pressures .

Fuels
Types: Fuels must meet specific standards for optimal combustion and engine
performance. The fuel system is designed to handle various fuel types, ensuring
proper delivery to the combustion chamber .

Lubrication Systems
Design: Lubrication systems distribute oil to engine components, either through
pressure-fed or splash-fed methods. Regular checks of oil levels and system
functionality are necessary to prevent failures .
