It's very common knowledge that engines rely on fluids to operate. While the various oils, water, and fuels are referred to as a powerplant's "life bloods," the latter liquid—diesel, for our ...

Diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios than gasoline engines, and fuel is injected under much higher pressure. An injection pump, usually driven by a belt or chain linked to the ...

Starting in 2011, Ford and General Motors began using Bosch Mobility CP4 pumps to provide high pressure fuel to their diesel engines. GM used the pump on its 6.6-liter LGH and LML Duramax diesel ...

The key ingredient to maximizing the peak performance of a diesel engine is increasing the amount of diesel being burned. On old mechanical-injection engines, the only way to do this was to modify the ...

The clearances inside diesel injection system parts are closer than those found in any other technology. The plungers and needle valves in injectors need to fit tightly to ensure precise metering and ...

The diesel engine dates back to the 1890s when Rudolf Diesel, a German inventor and mechanical engineer, created the powerplant for use in commercial power generation applications. The design ...
