How Diesel Fuel Injection Systems Work

How Diesel Fuel Injection Systems Work

How Diesel Fuel Injection Systems Work The diesel fuel injection system is a major component of a properly operating engine. An engine out of adjustment can cause excessive exhaust smoke, poor fuel economy, heavy carbon buildup within the combustion chambers, and short engine life. The diesel engine is known as a CI (compression ignition) engine, while the…

How Turbochargers Increase Diesel Engine Power

How Turbochargers Increase Diesel Engine Power

Why Do Diesel Engines Use Turbochargers? A turbocharger is an exhaust-driven supercharger (fan or blower) that forces air into the engine under pressure. Turbochargers are frequently used on diesel engines to increase power output. Turbochargers are well suited to operation in diesel engines because the diesel engine is immune to detonation as the fuel is not injected until…
