Why You Should Choose Diesel
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 it up. The result is a very high temperature in the engine, much high than that of gas engines.
In diesel engines, air and fuel are both infused into the engine at different stages, as opposed to gas where a mixture of air and gas are introduced.

Gas Versus Diesel
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 be very costly indeed.
When it comes to the price, gas wins this one by far. Diesel costs a lot more to own than gas, which is one of the main reasons why people tend to choose gas over diesel.

Why People Use Diesel
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 of the stroke.
Gasoline ratios Serious damage to gas engines can occur if you attempt to run a high compression ratio with a low octane type of fuel.

Gas Trucks Versus Diesel Trucks
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 plan to use your truck for towing, value good fuel economy and plan to put plenty of miles on it, you may want a diesel.

These days, gasoline prices may be crimping your your household budget. You may like to reduce the U.S. dollars that flow to the Middle East for oil, or perhaps you are motivated by your concern for the environment, or even the nagging reality that oil is a depleting resource that shouldn’t be wasted.
Fuel economy To put it into prospective, the fuel economy are the numbers posted on the window sticker of a new vehicle.

Industrial Diesel Engines
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 from a few pounds to a few tons, with a various amount of power.
The use of diesel engines is mandated by several large organizations.

Diesel Versus Spark Engine Ignition
Diesel Versus Spark Engine Ignition
As you may already be aware of, diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline engines of the same power, resulting in much lower fuel usage. For an efficient turbo diesel, the average is 40% more miles per gallon. 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.
Diesel engines that are naturally aspirated are far more massive than gasoline engines of the same power for two reasons.

Diesel Or Not
Diesel Or Not
Diesel is often looked at as being smelly, noisy, and many think the only place for it is in a tractor. The truth to diesel vehicles is that they are slow, noisy, smelly, although they are cheaper to run than gas.
Diesel engines aren’t as powerful as gas engines, as gas engines produce more horsepower than that of a diesel engine. Diesel vehicles however, offer more torque than gas.

Gas VS Diesel Boats
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 service life early on in the history of the engines, mainly from engines that were used in commercial operations. These were big, very slow to turn engines that were usually in the 600 - 1,000 RPM range.

Diesel Vehicles
Diesel Vehicles
As you probably already know, diesel engines get better fuel economy than gas, simply because they don’t need to burn as much fuel as gasoline engines 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.
Diesel engines don’t have an ignition system either, so you’ll never have to tune them up.

Gasoline Credit Cards
Gasoline Credit Cards
With gasoline getting more and more expensive, you’ve probably found yourself wondering what you can do. Even with the rising costs of gas and fuel, you still need it to go places. No matter how you look at it, you are at the mercy of these prices.
If you own two credit cards, changes are that you will use one of them to pay for your gas. Gas credit cards are now starting to shine.

Advantages Of Diesel Engines
If you’ve owned a diesel powered vehicle in the past or if you own one now, you no doubt appreciate the qualities this engine provides you with. More torque, better fuel economy, and easier maintenance are but a few of the attributes of owning diesel powered vehicles.
However, there are some motorists that still complain about the engine’s weak power, especially when accelerating from a full stop.

General Information On Diesel Engines
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 America, diesel engines are generally used in larger trucks, where the low stress, high efficiency cycle will lead to a much longer engine life and lower costs to operate.
