Eleven Uses for Diesel Engines When Rudolph Diesel invented the diesel engine, could he have known how much they would change the world? Diesel engines were a revolutionary invention for their time. They compress the air, which increases the air temperature to such a high degree that the fuel injected into the combustion chamber ignites spontaneously. They run more efficiently than naturally-aspirated engines. Although the designing of the diesel engine got off to a rocky start, multiple engineers worked to create a protot...

Understanding Cylinder Heads Your diesel engine is comprised of many complex parts, but one of the most complex parts of any diesel engine is the cylinder head. There are more moving parts in the cylinder head than there are in any other part of the engine. Since cylinder heads are in a fixed position and sealed with the head gasket, they are rarely in need of being replaced because they experience much less wear than other parts of the engine. But, because of the complexity of the cylinder head and the intricacy of all ...

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...

How to Avoid Injection Pump Failure When you stop at a gas station to fill up your vehicle, that fuel goes into the fuel tank. But, for your vehicle to utilize the fuel you just put in there, it needs to be moved from the tank to the cylinders in the engine, where air and fuel are mixed and internal combustion occurs to create the power to move your vehicle. How does the fuel get from the tank to the cylinder? The diesel fuel injection pump, or diesel fuel pump, is responsible for transporting the fuel to your engine. This pump...
