While talking about the Diesel it is considered to find a place in heavy vehicle like tractor and trucks only as with its disqualities of being smelly, noisy and others. Although diesel engines are cheaper to run in comparison with gas, they are slow, noisy and smelly. ...read more
Today the demand for diesel engines is rising rapidly because of its fuel economy which is much more better than gas. It is simply because these (diesel) engines don’t need to burn as much fuel as gasoline engines need to get the same amount of power. Diesel engines are built heavier than gas engines, to help sustain the added stress of the much higher compression ratios. ...read more
While comparing both types of engines i.e- Diesel Versus Spark Engine Ignition, you will find diesel engines more efficient than gasoline engines of the same power, resulting in much more mileage.Further the average is 40% more miles per gallon for an effecient turbo diesel.The higher compression ratio with diesel engines help to raise efficiency, but diesel fuel also contains around 15% more energy per unit volume than gas. ...read more
As most of us probably know that a diesel engine has a greater mileage and good fuel economy in compare of gasoline engine. It is because of their design,and due to the higher energy density of a gallon of diesel fuel. But at the same time it do takes a bit more oil to manufacture a gallon of diesel than a gallon of gas, with the production and refining processes for diesel producing more gases that trap heat. ...read more
There are many reasons for which diesel engine is being appreciated. Among many attributes that diesel engine provides few are-more torque,better fuel economy, and easier maintenance. ...read more
Today a lot of modification has been done by the designers of diesel engines to make it advanced. Especially in engine fuel delivery to the combustion chamber. As a result latest Diesel engines are much quieter, smoother and powerful. But at the same time quality of Diesel fuel is hanging on the same type as it was earlier. ...read more
