Diesel engines lack the spark of gas engines, both literally and figuratively. They don't need a spark plug since they ignite the fuel using only compression, but also lack the 'je ne sais quoi' that ...

NACFE’s new Messy Middle Powertrain Service & Maintenance report says keeping modern diesel engines running now depends as ...

Most engines generate power from an internal combustion system. On the basic level, these engines work by compressing fuel and air into a tight space. Within the cylinders of an engine, pistons pump ...

Ethanol-diesel blends represent a promising route to reduce carbon intensity and particulate emissions from compression ignition engines while utilising existing infrastructure. By incorporating ...
