The diesel engine, named for its inventor Rudolf Diesel, is a sparkless internal combustion engine that vaporizes and compresses fuel to achieve ignition. Because less volatile fuels are used, there is less risk for accidental fires. Some diesel engines can be modified to use vegetable oils rather than petroleum products.
