A Guide to Diesel Engine Problems Do you know what to do if your diesel engine exhaust is giving off black or white smoke? What about blue smoke? These smoke signals are your vehicle’s way to communicate its needs to you. If your diesel engine is experiencing problems, this guide can help you interpret what it is trying to say. What could be happening when a diesel engine is hard to start or won't start at all? The fuel supply could be low or blocked, and the filters could be to blame. The fuel could be contaminated. The...

Get Fluent in the Language of Diesel Engines If you are unfamiliar with how diesel engines work, the parts and terminology can seem like a foreign language. Let’s break down some of the common components of the diesel engine. Original engine manufacturer (OEM): The OEM is the original producer of a particular car’s parts. OEM parts will be identical to the original ones installed in the car. OEM products are typically sold through branded car dealerships and the automaker directly. Since these products are guaranteed to be compatible wi...

Honoring the Best 60 Tractor C. L. Best, who is known for his work as a pioneering tractor company executive, used to say, “When you sell someone a tractor, you’d run that check to the bank before it broke down and they’d complain.” That was not the case, however, for the crowning achievement of his tractor career: the Best 60 tractor. What’s Different about the Best 60 Tractor? The Best 60 tractor changed the tractor world. But what exactly did this tractor do that no other tractor had done before? Transmission. The B...

How the Diesel Engine Came to Be Diesel engines seem to power the world. They can be found in nearly every type of machinery. But how did diesel engines get their start? In the 1870s, a young Rudolf Diesel sat in a lecture given by Carl von Linde on thermodynamics. Delivered at the Royal Bavarian Polytechnic of Munich, that lecture would change the world as we know it. In this lecture, Diesel learned that it was conceivable that one could make an internal combustion engine that would turn all of its heat into useful work. To...

Turbochargers Then and Now Turbochargers have changed the way we create engines. Instead of naturally-aspirated engines that create exhaust gas that is just wasted, turbochargers are able to take in exhaust gas and harness power from it, pull in even more air than it would normally get through a standard intake, compress that air, and use the compressed air to create even more power. History of Turbochargers Before the 1900s, the only petrol gas and diesel engines were naturally-aspirated engines that created a lot of ...

From New to Refurbished and Everything In Between Your diesel engine has started to stall and misfire. You notice you aren’t getting the miles per gallon you used to. The exhaust from your engine smells worse than ever, but even over that, you can smell a fuel odor emanating from your vehicle. If these are happening to you, your fuel injector probably needs to be replaced. When it’s time to replace a fuel injector (which happens about every 100,000 miles on a diesel engine) or any of the diesel fuel injection parts, it can be tempting to sav...

Understanding Turbochargers Every fuel-powered engine takes in air and fuel and combusts them, before shooting the remnants out as exhaust. To get more power from an engine, you will need to burn more fuel (and do it faster). But when you have a set volume of area in the engine where the fuel and air can go, how can you burn more? Bigger engines that could hold larger volumes of fuel are not the answer, as they very slow to start and are not practical in size (since it would take more energy to move a larger piece of eq...
