Diesel injectors fail because of two main reasons. The first has to do with the mechanical soundness of the injector structure, and the second has to do with the quality of the fuel running through ...

Diesel injectors have gotten increasingly complex over the last twenty years of diesel development, but their basic design is fairly simple. Diesel fuel from the injection pump enters the mechanical ...

Most people know that internal combustion engines require a fuel source to run. For many passenger cars and trucks, that fuel source is gasoline. However, many commercial vehicles, boats, farming ...

Fuel injectors are the heart of a vehicle’s fuel system. Because they keep the fuel supply running smoothly, when an injector experiences a problem, the whole engine suffers the consequences. Because ...

High-pressure common rail fuel (HPCR) systems are standard on nearly every diesel engine today, from heavy equipment to over-the-road trucks, light-duty trucks, large generators and more. HPCR fuel ...

Researchers have developed a promising yet surprisingly simple modification to diesel engines that could hold the key to reducing the complexity, maintenance, and size and weight of emission ...

If you’re in fleet management or the construction industry, you undoubtedly have machines that run on diesel fuel. In addition to large trucks, more than 75% of all heavy construction equipment uses ...

Diesel truck fans may have heard the legends surrounding the 12-valve Cummins. Found in trucks like Dodge Rams from 1989 to 1998, its fully mechanical fuel system and rugged injectors are celebrated ...

Sandia National Laboratories researchers (left to right: Nathan Harry, Christopher Nilsen, Drummond Biles, and Charles Mueller) show off their prototype of ducted fuel injection module for diesel ...

Diesel engines use compression to ignite the fuel, which needs to have an even burn, and cetane boosters have an important ...
