How many liters of air goes into a diesel engine for 1 liter of fuel?
Nine cubic meters of air is required to burn 1 liter of fuel in a diesel engine. A person does not put liters of air into a diesel engine. Liters of fuel are put into a diesel engine.
Can you put diesel fuel into a 1991 dodge ram d50?
Not if you want it to go anywhere. Diesel fuel will not burn in a gasoline engine.
Can you make a diesel engine which works on the basic principle of petrol engine or you can say it uses diesel as a fuel but works on the principle of petrol engine?
No, a diesel is a compression firing engine and a petrol is a spark firing engine. Diesel fuel will not burn in a petrol engine with spark plugs.
Is it legal to swap from gas to diesel?
You cannot burn diesel fuel in a gasoline engine period. A gasoline engine will not run on diesel. So legality is a mute point. A gasoline engine and diesel engine are totally different in design and the way fuel is burned. The fuels are not interchangeable.
Can you change from diesel fuel to regular fuel on a diesel truck?
No, you cannot put regular fuel into a diesel engine, because the two fuels burn at different temperatures. You can try cleaning your engine, they make products to remove buildup, and this will help your mileage.
Why does a diesel engine use a different type of fuel?
Diesel engines do not require "ignition" to burn diesel fuel--it is powered by the "heat of compression" therefore diesel fuel has a much higher "flash point" than gasoline. If you were to put gasoline in a diesel engine you would probably blow the heads off the engine. Due to lower "flash point" (temperature when fuel ignites). If you were to put diesel fuel in a gasoline powered engine, it would not ignite and engine will not start. Due to higher "flash point).
What is the advantage of Diesel engines?
One of the main advantage of using a Diesel engine as opposed to a regular is that a Diesel engine tends to burn less fuel. They also have very high thermal efficiency.
Does diesel burn?
Of course diesel will burn. It is a fuel used in the internal combustion diesel engine. It burns from being compressed to a very high ratio rather than from a spark plug. Diesel fuel is manufactured along side unleaded gasoline and powers millions of vehicles worldwide.
What lights the fuel in a diesel engine?
Diesel fuel is ignited by a combination of heat and compression. The heat is caused by the very high compression in the cylinder. The fuel also has to be very finely atomised to be able to burn.
Will your car run on diesel fuel?
only if it has a diesel engine. A gasoline engine will not run properly on diesel fuel.
What are the benefits of having a diesel engine?
They get great fuel economy. Diesel vehicles get 20 to 30 percent better gas milleage. A well maintained Diesel Engine is known to last a very long time. They are better for the environment because they burn less fuel.
There is no spark plug in a diesel engine then how does fuel burn in it?
Fuel is injected into the combustion chamber in the form of a sprayed gas and when compressed under great pressure it spontaneously explodes creating the power stroke in a 4 stroke diesel engine.
