What reading level is Diesel the Modern Power book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The pump piston is fitted to the pump cylinder to an accuracy of a quarter of a tenth of a thou- sandth of an inch. This does not mean much to us unless we compare it with something we are familiar with. If the thickness of a human hair, or the paper on which this is printed, were divided into 120 equal parts we would obtain a dimension equal to that of the clearance between the pump piston and cylinder. This accuracy is necessary to prevent leakage of the oil past the piston, for the pressure ...in the fuel pump may reach 20, 000 pounds per square inch. Under the usual conditions of operation the pressure is 15, 000 pounds per square inch.
High pressures are necessary to force the oil through the fine holes in the spray nozzle in the proper amount and at the right time. The smaller the holes, the finer the spray and the better the fuel oil burns. Oil under ordinary pres- sures is not compressible, but when 15, 000 to 20, 000 pounds pressure is used it acts like rubber. A long column of oil under these pressures would expand and contract like a rubber rod.
