Diesels run on compressed fuel and air. An injector pump sprays fuel into the cylinder and mixes it with the air. When the piston rises to the top of the cylinder it compresses the fuel / air mixture and causes the mixture to ignite powering the engine. The speed of the engine is controled by the throttle plate which controls the amount of air entering the engine as well as the metering valve on the diesel pump which controls the amount of fuel that is sprayed into the cylinder.
