Diesel engines are the perfect recipients of mild engine modifications. They are considerably robust—generally much more so than gasoline engines. Without going into a diesel history lesson, this is ...

Injecting a mixture of water and methanol into the intake of your diesel engine can reap multiple benefits. There is an intercooling effect that creates a denser charge of air. This cooler air has a ...

In this study a new water injection system was applied to an 11 liter naturally aspirated DI diesel engine in order to reduce exhaust emissions. In this system, the water and fuel were arranged in the ...

Water injection can provide a number of benefits, even if most folks think water and engines aren't supposed to mix. Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car ...

High-pressure common rail fuel (HPCR) systems are standard on nearly every diesel engine today, from heavy equipment to over-the-road trucks, light-duty trucks, large generators and more. HPCR fuel ...

The clearances inside diesel injection system parts are closer than those found in any other technology. The plungers and needle valves in injectors need to fit tightly to ensure precise metering and ...

Diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios than gasoline engines, and fuel is injected under much higher pressure. An injection pump, usually driven by a belt or chain linked to the ...

New fuel injectors eliminate soot without expensive exhaust treatment devices. Ducted fuel injection for diesel engines, developed at Sandia National Lab’s Combustion Research Facility by Charles ...
