“…An unreliable system has higher probability of failure [1] as and when any item of the associated equipment is damaged or destroyed due to some causes. Consequently, the unreliability of the system [2] may result into wastage of cost, time of personal as well as national security. Thus, in conclusion, a high degree of reliability is prime requirement in various practical fields e.g., nuclear power plant, space systems and defense systems etc.…”

In this paper, the authors have evaluated reliability of four cylinder diesel engine by employing the Algebra of logics which is easier in comparison of old techniques. Here, a multi-component fuel system in diesel engine, comprised of four subsystems in series, has considered. The authors, in this model, have considered a parallel redundant fuel injective device to improve the system's performance. The whole system can fail due to failure of atleast one component of all the routes of flow. Boolean function technique has used to formulate and solve the mathematical model. Reliability and M.T.T.F. of the considered diesel engine have been obtained to connect the model with physical situations. A numerical example and its graphical representation have been appended at last to highlight important results.
