SAE Transactions, Vol. 96, Section 4: RECIPROCATING ENGINES–SPARK IGNITION AND DIESEL (1987), pp. 614-623 (10 pages) A single-cylinder, variable–compression ratio, direct–injection diesel engine was ...

You're looking at the world's smallest direct-injection diesel currently in production. Built by Mercedes, this 799cc three-cylinder oilburner weighs just 190 pounds and powers the $16,750 smart ...

Just like we predicted a few weeks ago when the specs for the new Toyota HiLux were released, the Land Cruiser Prado is getting a new 2.8-liter turbodiesel engine, a brand-new one with direct fuel ...

Diesel engines are more durable by their very nature, and these ones are practically unkillable.

Here's the story of perhaps the most legendary diesel engine ever made, the Cummins 5.9L.

The basic difference between direct injection (DI) and the port-fuel injection (PFI) systems we've become familiar with since the mid-1980s is that PFI sprays fuel into the intake manifold (behind ...

The effects of lubricating oil on friction and engine-out emissions in a light-duty 2.2L compression ignition direct injection (CIDI) engine were investigated. A matrix of test oils varying in ...

It's an amazing time when there's new technology in the industry as it forces a new rivalry in speed parts, and direct-injection is firmly in the high-performance arena whether anyone likes it or not.

In 1673, Christian Huygens invented the first engine. It was designed to pump water from the Seine River to King Louis XIV's Palace of Versailles. Built with an open combustion chamber, it consumed ...

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 ...
