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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

New fuel injectors eliminate soot without expensive exhaust treatment devices. Ducted fuel injection for diesel engines, developed at Sandia National Lab’s Combustion Research Facility by Charles ...

A lift pump and a fuel pump might be part of the same system that delivers fuel to a diesel engine, but they have very different roles to play.

Most diesel truck owners understand how to put diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) in their trucks. However, some make the mistake of getting DEF in their fuel tank instead of the dedicated DEF tank. As the ...

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 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 ...
