Warm up time on diesel engins in cold weather?
No matter how long you leave a diesel engine idling to warm up, it wont, you are just wasting fuel and in the long run damaging the engine. Rather driver off at a low speed, changing gear before the turbo can startup, this will give you the fastest warm-up time. If you drive at a speed where the turbo is switched on, the cold air from the intercooler will flow into the motor and increase the time the motor takes to warm-up. Hope this helps.
How is diesel fuel ignited in a warm diesel engine?
Compression.
Why do you plug in diesel engine?
The "plug" powers an coolant heater. A diesel engine starts easier if the engine is warm.
Why Peugeot 306 1997 diesel turbo i think the engine is overheating the temp is fine moves from 70 when cold to 80 when warm and the rad seems to be working but after it gets warm in idle for a while?
put in more coolant but its not running hot
Is there a carburetor in a diesel engine?
Not in any modern diesels. Some old diesel tractors from the 1940's where gasoline start and then ran on diesel once the engine was warm. Those did have carburetors.Not in any modern diesels.

What happens when I Overfill a turbo diesel engine?
I recently serviced a 2010 f350 with 6.4 diesel engine that was overfilled 9 quarts. Yes nine quarts. Truck ran like that for over a month and the symptomps were similar to having a misfire. The idle was rough, truck was shaking a lot,like it had a bad engine mount it was also choking at times especialy when warm.

yupps
Why would a 2005 6.0 diesel smoke when cold?
That is normal for a diesel engine. The temperature of the cylinders is not quite hot enough for complete burn. The issue goes away normally, in a few minutes. You will also smell a very rich diesel fuel smell in the air. The turbo is also fairly fragile at this time, so also it to idle for a little bit and get the oil warm.
Does cold diesel make your car go better?
No, never put diesel in a gasoline engine it will foul up the sparkplugs in your engine, clog it up, and make it smoke alot. Cold Diesel in a diesel engine isn't too good either because when diesel gets cold it gels up, that is why most diesel engines have a built in heater to warm up the engine and fuel before starting. Hope this helps
What does plugging in a F250 do?
Most diesel engines have a block heater that heats the engine coolant so that the whole engine is warm to make it easier to start on cold mornings because a diesel uses compression heat to ignite the diesel fuel.
