That decision was supported by solid data including a detailed analysis of Polk County’s diesel versus gasoline operating experience that clearly illustrated gas engines were a better investment (see “Why Polk County Switched From Diesel to Gasoline Power,” from the March 2000 issue ofAutomotiv...
Meanwhile, Dennis O'Connor of Christopher Trucks has stated that the hallmark of diesel is the load-pulling truck due to their fuel efficiency.EBSCO_bspElectrical Wholesaling
"Over time, regular maintenance on a diesel generally will cost more than a gasoline engine," said Jansen of Donlen. "The diesel engine has components that are either not found on a gasoline engine or require servicing more often. The oil reservoir is larger in a diesel engine and the wa...
The article reports on the study of California Air Resources Board (CARB) that shows that compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) are sometimes worst than diesel on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It says that the farther CNG or LNG have to travel to reach refueling si...
A couple of days ago, at the V5 diesel post, I got into a spirited debate about diesel versus gas engines. The issue was that every naturally-aspirated (non-turbo) car diesel engine I’ve ever encountered has a lower torque output than a comparable gas engine. I and ...
The New York City fleet is also in the process of arenewable dieselmove as part of its strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In November 2023, the city announced its plans to to transition all heavy-duty vehicles in the city’s fleet from fossil to renewable fuel. The city’s flee...
Biodiesel, GTL (gas-to-liquid) or synthetic diesel fuels will be seen in more applications. Fuel cell as a primary propulsion power (versus as an APU – auxiliary power unit) still faces significant technical and cost challenges for commercialization in the foreseeable future. Competition over ...
Diesel prices are high in part because U.S. refinery closures and the war in Ukraine have impacted the supply. And diesel prices are higher than those for regular gas thanks in part to a higher tax.
In this work, diesel fuel was mixed with biodiesel, biodiesel–alcohol, and biodiesel–alcohol–vegetable oil blends using the basic alcohols of ethanol, methanol and butanol. The exhaust gas emissions of a small diesel generator running on different fuel blends were compared and the combined effect...
In this work the PV power output was assumed as regular (most likely) for demonstration purposes. The power generation by source and the total power generation diagrams of the hybrid systems (PV, genset, and battery) for each electricity demand profile have been added in the supplementary ...
