Today's modern diesel engines are designed with efficiency and low emissions in mind. To achieve these objectives, fuel injection system pressures have moved up in excess of 2,000 BAR. These higher pressures drive the need for fuel cleanliness levels never seen before in order to "keep running...

Seriously though, I don’t understand when people say that Diesel is not the engine you should use as a car guy. Diesels have some qualities that petrol engines just can’t keep up with, for example the unbeatable torque and therefore excellent low- and mid-range acceleration. A Volvo V60...
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 s...
Diesel engines can be more difficult, and you may need to cycle the ignition a couple of times to build pressure. If your diesel car does not have a pump in the tank, it makes the process much more difficult. Can bad gas make my car not start? Yes, bad gas can make your car not...
But traditionalpickup trucksare powered by gasoline or diesel engines, which produce harmful emissions that contribute to climate change. Hydrogen fuel cell pickup trucks are a new and promising technology that could revolutionize the pickup truck market. Hydrogen fuel cells produce zero emissions, ma...
With around 15 million diesels cars rolling on its roads, Germany, mother land of diesel engines, is now in a crying need for diesel cars. The past glory, together with the temptation of interest, dragged the transition of German automakers, and weakened their competitiveness. ...
EVs – as apologists for them never tire of pointing out – have fewer moving parts than vehicles with engines and transmissions and drive axles, etc. So why do EVs cost so much more (on the order of 30-40 percent more) than otherwise comparable vehicles with engines and transmissions and...
For most of the existence of the internal combustion engine, the carburetor has been the device that supplied fuel to the diesel engine. On many other machines, such as lawnmowers and chainsaws, it still is. But as the automobile evolved, the carburetor got more and more complicated trying...
If we run out of options, can we consider constructing a major thermal power plant in Turkana using medium speed diesel engines driven by crude oil to produce many megawatts of electricity — certainly more than 1,000 megawatts. The power may not be green enough, but...
