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 ...

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

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 ...

Today’s diesel engines use high-pressure common-rail (HPCR) direct injection technology to provide greater efficiencies compared to conventional diesel engines. These engines operate under higher ...

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 ...

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 ...

Diesel injectors fail because of two main reasons. The first has to do with the mechanical soundness of the injector structure, and the second has to do with the quality of the fuel running through ...

Most people know that internal combustion engines require a fuel source to run. For many passenger cars and trucks, that fuel source is gasoline. However, many commercial vehicles, boats, farming ...

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 ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 104, Section 3: JOURNAL OF ENGINES (1995), pp. 112-127 (16 pages) A computer model solving the 1-D flow in a typical fuel injection system for direct-injection diesel engines is ...

IPA’s new diesel fuel injection cleaner and primer (#9080) keeps portability in mind as it cleans, primes and troubleshoots diesel injection systems. The 9080 comes with an internal 12 volt DC fuel ...

Delphi Automotive has held a groundbreaking ceremony in Yantai, Shandong Province, for a new diesel manufacturing facility. It is spending US$100m to construct and equip the facility. “This investment ...
