Automotive additives supplies tips, articles and product reviews. Why You Should Choose Diesel
The major distinction between diesel and gas lies in
the type of ignition. While gas engines operate on spark ignition, diesel engines employ compression ignition for igniting the fuel. With compression, the air is drawn into the engine and subjected to high compression that heats ... Why People Use Diesel
With diesel engines, the compression ratio is higher
and there is more power. From a technical point, the compression ratio of an engine is the comparison of the total volume of the cylinder at the bottom of the piston's stroke divided by the volume of the cylinder remaining at the top ... Most Fuel Efficient Vehicles
Most efficient overall - Honda Insight hybrid
With 60 mpg city and 66 mpg highway, the Honda hybrid has top honors as most fuel efficient in the United States. With a 1.0 gas engine mated to an electric motor, the insight was designed to make the most of the power by using low resistance ... Industrial Diesel Engines
Industrial diesel engines are any engines that are used
for industrial purposes that run on diesel. Industrial diesel engines are used to power a major portion of industrial machinery, from motorbikes to bulldozers, generators, and even forklifts and trucks. They range in size ... Hydrogen Boosted Gas Engines
With the ever increasing cost of gasoline prices,
auto makers are having to work overtime to cost effictively improve the fuel economy, while still meeting the strict emission requirements of today with gasoline engines. One ideal and promising way to boost the fuel economy of gas engines ... How Diesel Engines Work
When gas is compressed, the temperature of it will rise,
with diesel engines using this very property to ignite the fuel. Air is then drawn into the cylinder and compressed by the rising piston at a much high compression ratio than gas engines, up to 25:1, with the air temperature ... General Information On Diesel Engines
Diesel engines offer the lowest specific fuel usage
of any other large internal combustion engine. The fact remains, two-stroke diesels with high pressure forced induction, particularly turbo charging, make up a large percentage of the largest diesel engines. Throughout North ... Gas VS Diesel Boats
As you may know, diesel engines aren't something
you should take lightly. There are good reasons why the rush to put them in cars back in the 70s flopped. Diesel isn't the ideal power source for all applications. Engine speed Diesel engines gained the reputation for long ... Gas Versus Diesel
Cost
Due to the high compression ratios and resulting high cylinder pressure in diesel engines, they must be built to withstand a lot more punishment than gas engines. The parts that are spruced up include a thicker block and cylinder heads, pistons, crankshaft, and valves, which can ... Gas Trucks Versus Diesel Trucks
If you plan to use your truck like a car, desiring
quick, quiet acceleration and rarely ever haul a heavy load and don't plan to it for a long time, you may want a gasoline engine. Gas engines run smoother, fuel is easier to find, and gas engines start easier in cold weather. If you ...
