A diesel engine will go much farther on a gallonof fuel that the standard gasoline engine because of their designs, and due to the higherenergy density of a gallon of diesel fuel.
But,it also takes a bit more oil to manufacture agallon of diesel than a gallon of gas, with the production and refining [...]
As you may already be aware of, diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline engines of the samepower, resulting in much lower fuel usage.
For anefficient turbo diesel, the average is 40% more milesper gallon.
The higher compression ratio with diesel engines help to raise efficiency, but dieselfuel also contains around 15% more [...]
The designs of diesel engines striving to increaseperformance have made a lot of advancements in enginefuel delivery to the combustion chamber.
The dieselengines of today are much quieter, smoother, andalso more powerful.
The quality of diesel fuel on the other hand has not advanced at the same rate asthe improvements of engines.
As soon [...]
Diesel is often looked at as being smelly, noisy, andmany think the only place for it is in a tractor.
Thetruth to diesel vehicles is that they are slow, noisy,smelly, although they are cheaper to run than gas.
Diesel engines aren’t as powerful as gas engines, asgas engines produce more horsepower than that of [...]
There are very few engine configurations that promiseincreased fuel economy and power.
There are fewengines that offer this in addition to reliability.
Today, those across the ocean are enjoying the fruits of diesel technology revolution.
Diesels have experienced a great history here in theUnited States.
In 1980, General Motors modified their 350ci gas [...]
Gas engines are known as internal combustion enginesand are divided into two general classes, specificallytwo cycle and four cycle engines.
A cycle of an engine represents one stroke of the piston or one half revolution of the crank shaft, as a completerevolution represents two cycles.
With a two cycleengine, the power impulse occurs at [...]
