Diesel Basics

Pageviews: 2535

Diesel engines have been around for a long time. They are the powersource of choice for heavy trucks, boats, generators and equipment. They are a lot more popular in cars in the rest of the world than in the U.S. Probably due to gasoline prices and lower emmisions standards. Diesel engines have become a lot more high tech in the past ten years. Most manufacturers are switching over to electronic fuel management. Diesel engines differ from gas engines in a couple of ways.
Diesel fuel is less refined than gas. This means that diesel will explode if compressed enough. It does not require a spark.
Diesels must be fuel injected. They only suck in as much air as they need. Unlike gas engines which will rev higher and higher if unrestricted.
To get more power from a diesel usually requires a turbo to push in more air.
Diesels require higher compression than gas engines due to the fuel quality.
Diesels engines are generally noisy due to this high detonation pressure.
Diesels are built a lot tougher due to this detonation also. Stronger internal parts, larger oil and coolant capacities,etc.
Getting 250,000 miles from a diesel without any repairs is normal.
Diesels cannot rev as high as a gas engine due to higher reciprocating mass.
Diesel engines make a truck sound tough.

On newer engines for heavy trucks, such as Caterpillar's 3406E, You can buy a truck with a 325 horsepower engine. Down the road you decide it doesn't have enough power. For about $1500 you go to the dealer, he hooks up a laptop, tells the same engine that you've been driving all this time (the 325 horse engine) to go ahead and make 400 horsepower.You leave with 400 horses, nothing mechanical done to the engine. Just software. Cool huh? Is this the wave of the future for sports cars?
