Diesel injectors have gotten increasingly complex over the last twenty years of diesel development, but their basic design is fairly simple. Diesel fuel from the injection pump enters the mechanical ...

The key ingredient to maximizing the peak performance of a diesel engine is increasing the amount of diesel being burned. On old mechanical-injection engines, the only way to do this was to modify the ...

Fuel injectors are the heart of a vehicle’s fuel system. Because they keep the fuel supply running smoothly, when an injector experiences a problem, the whole engine suffers the consequences. Because ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a promising yet surprisingly simple modification to diesel engines that could hold the key to reducing the complexity, maintenance, and size and weight of emission ...

Diesel engines use compression to ignite the fuel, which needs to have an even burn, and cetane boosters have an important ...

How does fuel injection work? Everything you need to know about fuel injection! Throttle body injection, multipoint port injection, and direct injection. Injection techniques for both gasoline and ...

Sandia National Laboratories researchers (left to right: Nathan Harry, Christopher Nilsen, Drummond Biles, and Charles Mueller) show off their prototype of ducted fuel injection module for diesel ...

If you’re in fleet management or the construction industry, you undoubtedly have machines that run on diesel fuel. In addition to large trucks, more than 75% of all heavy construction equipment uses ...

Fuel injectors can get gummed up with dirt and fuel residue over time. Photo credit: David Traver Adolphus / Autoguide.com. Over time and miles, your car might start to slow down. It might not ...

Diesel engines are notoriously robust, but if the fuel they run on gets contaminated, the engine can suddenly become much ...
