Diesel engines have far more torque or pulling power than gasoline engines. Diesel engines also last much longer than gas engines because they are built to a much higher standard of durability. The downside to a diesel is that they cost more to produce. But for heavy equipment they are necessary and a diesel engine can easily last over 1 million miles.

For what markets are Diesel engines produced?
Diesel engines are used primarily in large trucks and buses, in high-powered farm tractors, and in heavy construction machinery. Other markets include marine vessels and lawn-and-garden equipment.
Why do you use Diesel Engines to pull heavier loads petrol engines for higher speeds?
Becouse a diesel engine has no spark plugs to foul under a heavy load, and a heavy load can work in the diesel engines' favor because it uses compression not combustion Becouse a diesel engine has no spark plugs to foul under a heavy load, and a heavy load can work in the diesel engines' favor because it uses compression not combustion
Can be use 15w40 engine oil in diesel engine car?
Use exactly what the manufacture of the diesel engine recommends and nothing else.Yes. 15W diesel oil is something of a "default" for use in medium/heavy duty trucks and heavy equipment in most of the US.... unless you're in a place like Alaska, 15W is a good "all around" engine oil for diesel engines.
Why bikes can not be made using diesel engines?
yes definitely it can be made using diesel engines, but it will be so heavy that it cannot be handled by an individual
What is the difference between marine diesel engines and diesel engines?
some marine engines are reverse rotation, Also marine engines are made from anti corrosive materials, they are heavy duty and can tolarate vibrations of your ship.
Why CI engines are used in trucks and other heavy vehicles but not why SI engine?
Compression ignition (CI) engines use diesel is as the fuel, while spark ignition (SI) engines use petrol. SI engines are lightweight and achieve high speeds while diesel CI engines although heavier and slower engines, are more robust and have a higher thermal efficiency. Their robust build (and fewer parts) makes diesel CI engines ideal for heavy machinery.
What is isx cummins?
The Cummins ISX is a family of post-ACERT heavy duty diesel engines.
What are some of the advantages of having a diesel truck?
Diesel trucks can pull heavy loads because of the all the torque generated. Diesel is also more efficient than gasoline. Diesel engines are durable and last longer than gasoline engines. Diesel gas is also cheaper to refine.
Does diesel engine release maximum soot?
Compared to heavy industry, no. Compared to gas, propane, etc, engines, yes. The draw back from using diesel engines is they put out the most "Heavy" particulates then a gas engine. ALL vehicles have soot/heavy particulates. With the newer diesels it has become less of a problem. The upside of running a diesel is you get more power/torque from a diesel then a gasoline engine. More bang for your buck.
Why are cars powered by diesel?
Diesel engines have much more torque or pulling power than gasoline engines and are well suited for heavy hauling. They also will last much longer due to the heavy duty construction. A diesel engine that is properly maintained can run for 500,000 miles without any major repairs.
Does a diesel car pollute less than a normal car?
It depends on the age of the car. Since 2006, diesel cars are cleaner than gas cars due to federally required smog control equipment and the introduction of the TDI engine. Also, diesel engines emit soot, or heavy particulate matter, like black smoke, that is now nearly 98% removed by control equipment. While gas cars emit hydro carbons, NOX and other chemicals that aren't quite cleaned yet. Diesel engines have been tuned to burn fuel more efficiently than before, thereby producing less pollution, while gas engines rely on after combustion equipment to remove the pollutants.
I need two equipment trailers, where can I buy heavy equipment?
There are many places where you can buy heavy equipment. The best place I have found is on www.machinerytrader.com
