How does a diesel fuel system work?
INTRODUCTION. The function of the diesel fuel system is to inject a precise amount of atomized and pressurized fuel into each engine cylinder at the proper time. Combustion in a diesel engine occurs when this rush of fuel is mixed with hot compressed air. (No electrical spark is used in a gasoline engine.)
How does a diesel engine accelerate?
Diesel engines: Indirect injection uses a second, small, combustion chamber, connected to the main combustion chamber by a passage. The fuel is injected into this small chamber, where it is ignited by the hot air created by the compression stroke.
What can diesel engines run on?
They called it diesel fuel. My car can run on diesel (the fossil fuel variety), straight vegetable oil (SVO), and biodiesel (SVO that has been modified), or any combination of the three. That isn't unusual: anything with a diesel engine -- plane, boat, motorcycle -- can run on diesel, SVO or biodiesel.
Does a diesel tank need a vent?
Bulk diesel storage tanks should be equipped with a vent line to prevent vacuum formation or overpressure in the tank during drawdown or tank filling, or due to atmospheric temperature changes.
Why do diesels last longer?
Diesel engines do last longer than petrol ones. Diesel is a light oil and when burned and used as fuel by the vehicle it lubricates the parts of the engine. This prolongs the life of the engine. ... This is partly because of the intricate fuel pump which is expensive to repair or replace.
Why do diesel engines knock?
Answer: The clatter results from the combustion of diesel fuel inside the engine. In a diesel, the fuel is ignited by high pressure and temperature inside the cylinder, rather than by a spark plug. The clatter is the result of fuel not burning as evenly as in a gasoline engine, creating a knock.
What are the problems with diesel engines?
Overheating is probably the biggest problem faced by diesel engines. Pushing the engine too hard is a major cause of overheating. It can result in other problems, which include swelling, distorting or breaking of cylinder heads, pistons expanding, damage to crankshaft and bearings, among other issues.
What causes hard start in a diesel engine?
It's the middle of summer and your diesel engine is having trouble getting started. The problems that can occur due to the cold weather are well-known and fairly common, such as using summer-grade fuel in winter, a bad glow plug system, slow cranking, or thick, cold oil.
What is considered high mileage for a diesel?
Diesel Rule 1: NEVER buy high mileage
To be clear - avoid diesel cars with over 100,000 miles on the clock. Just avoid them.
What is not a part of diesel engine?
A penstock is not a part of diesel engine power plant. While other three mentioned parts belong to the Diesel Engineering Power Plant.
Will a diesel start without glow plugs?
Glow plug is merely an aid for starting the engine. There are many designs still produced today without any glow plugs (eg military diesels run without any electricity), and even many modern diesel engines can be started if glow plugs fail (unless onboard computer prevents that).
