April 25, 2021. Diesel Common Rail Fuel systems are utilised to increase engine power, reduce emissions and make Diesel engines run smoother and more "civilized". However they require special treatment and could pose a significant health risk if the person working on the system does not know its basic principles.
How a diesel engine works. This 2 minute video provides a high-level explanation of how diesel engine combustion principles work to power your vehicle compared to conventional gasoline When you have your foot on the gas, air is sucked in, combined with fuel, and it makes power. That power moves you. Turn off the fuel and reduce the air and things change. In a gasoline engine In a diesel engine, the fuel is ignited by the heat of compression rather than by a spark. When the air in the cylinders is compressed by the pistons, it raises the temperature of the air to about 700°C. At this temperature, the fuel ignites spontaneously. This is different from how a gasoline engine works, where the fuel is ignited by a spark Really though, there's not much to know. Basically, each piston in a boxer engine gets its own crank pin, so the pistons opposite each other move together. The fact that these pistons move h3RiyIr.
