In a gasoline engine, it is a fuel-air mixture that is drawn in during the intake stroke, unless the engine is fuel injected. In a fuel injected or a diesel engine, it is air, because the fuel (gasoline or diesel) is injected at the "last moment" before ignition.
If you want the engine to last I would use nothing but Rotella, mine went 535,000 when I traded it in and had never been apart.
with proper maintance it just keeps going and going. I have seen 7.3L with 1 million miles. the last fleet i was with we had 120 with 500,000 plus miles. Out of the 120 we only had to put in one engine. some one hydro locked it in water.
2003 was the last year for the 7.3 Diesel. Best diesel engine ford ever put out.
On average, a diesel engine can last between 250,000 to 500,000 kilometers. However, with proper maintenance and care, some diesel engines have been known to exceed 1,000,000 kilometers of use.
80 years.
If properly maintained a diesel will last much longer.
As the name states there are 4 strokes in a 4 stroke engine. Intake, when the piston draws in air/Fuel mixture. Compression, when the intake valve closes and the piston moves to the top off the stroke. Power stroke, when the compressed mixture is ignited, forcing the piston down. Last the exhaust stroke when the piston starts moving up and expells the burnt gases.
Yes you can. After the speech about the horses, you can approach one and stroke it.
Both our internal combustion engines but the main difference is that a petrol engine uses spark plugs to ignite the fuel but a diesel engine has no spark plugs but instead uses compression to ignite the fuel. A diesel engine is also built much stronger than a gasoline/petrol engine. Diesel engines get better fuel mileage, last longer, and have much more torque or pulling power than a petrol engine. The only disadvantage to a diesel is the fact that it is more costly to build than a gasoline engine.
Around 750000 miles duramax is the best diesel and will last.
The year 1995 was the final year Chevy offered a diesel engine in the SurburbanThis is not true i have a 1999 2500 Chevy suburban diesel engine and believe that was the last year they offered it.
