Inside this Article Diesel Fuel Injection One big difference between a diesel engine and a gas engine is in the injection process. Most car engines use port injection or a carburetor. A port injection system injects fuel just prior to the intake stroke (outside the cylinder). A carburetor mixes air and fuel long before the air enters the cylinder. In a car engine‚ therefore‚ all of the fuel is loaded into the cylinder during the intake stroke and then compressed. The compression of the fuel/air

Automotive engines have gone through tremendous changes since the automobile was first introduced in the 1880s‚ but all combustion engines still have three requirements that must be met to do their job of providing power – air‚ fuel‚ and ignition. The mixture of air and fuel must be compressed

Engine Problems while in Operation DIESEL ENGINE PROBLEMS: FUEL‚ AIR‚ STARTING‚ WIRING Many cases of engine failure are a result of a relatively small number of faults so it’s often possible to get the motor running again within a few minutes. However‚ when diagnosing problems it’s important to work in a systematic fashion and avoid the temptation to jump to conclusions.
