There are plenty of advantages to diesel engines: High fuel efficiency, low CO2 emissions, and in modern turbocharged applications, plenty of easy-to-access torque and power. However, they aren't ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 96, Section 4: RECIPROCATING ENGINES–SPARK IGNITION AND DIESEL (1987), pp. 614-623 (10 pages) A single-cylinder, variable–compression ratio, direct–injection diesel engine was ...

With UK introduction of tough new company car personal taxation laws due next month, Mitsubishi is introducing its first common-rail direct injection diesel engine for passenger cars, a 1.9 litre ...

Direct injection, as the name suggests, refers to a type of fuel system which introduces fuel directly into an engine's combustion chambers. This differentiates it from conventional injection systems ...

The basic difference between direct injection (DI) and the port-fuel injection (PFI) systems we've become familiar with since the mid-1980s is that PFI sprays fuel into the intake manifold (behind ...

Just like we predicted a few weeks ago when the specs for the new Toyota HiLux were released, the Land Cruiser Prado is getting a new 2.8-liter turbodiesel engine, a brand-new one with direct fuel ...

What it does: The high-pressure system injects fuel directly into each cylinder of the engine to increase power and torque without sacrificing performance or increasing emissions. An advanced engine ...

The fuel injection pump is the heart of the diesel engine. Precisely delivered fuel maintains a rhythm or timing that keeps the engine running smooth. Simultaneously, the pump also controls the amount ...

How does direct fuel injection work? Instead of having injectors in a throttle body, or in the intake manifold, a direct injection system makes use of an injector that fires into the combustion ...
