Pre 2007 diesel engines can run on 500 ppm diesel fuel. 2007 and later diesel engines that call for ultra low sulfur diesel fuel should not. These systems use EGR and the extra sulfur in the diesel creates sulfuric acid by nature and will then be reintroduced into the combustion process. Even later diesel engines are using diesel particulate filters that are sensitive to the extra sulfur. Bottom line, if your engine says that it is rated for ultra low sulfur diesel fuel (15ppm) use it.

What is the difference between a conventional diesel engine and common rail diesel engine.How does the common rail diesel engine work?

Common rail diesel basic description:A common rail diesel engine differs from a conventional diesel engine in several important respects. A conventional diesel engine works via a mechanical injection system, which relies on the engine's diesel injection pump to deliver the required fuel pressure, at the correct time, to the diesel injector in order to allow the injector to operate. Each individual injector on a conventional diesel engine has its own pipe or "rail" connecting the injector to the mechanical pump, allowing the delivery of fuel to the injector. Common rail diesel injection systems work on a much different principle. In this system the mechanical controls are replaced by electronic controls to allow for more precise metering and timing of the fuel delivery into the engine, and therefore the injection pump is no longer solely responsible for the operation of the injection system. Also, the individual injector rails are replaced by 1 (or 2) "common rail" which operates under a constant high pressure. There is no injection pump associated with this system, yet a high pressure pump is still required to deliver the high pressure fuel to the common rail. The high pressure pump is capable of producing (depending on the system used) approximately 29000 psi of pressure into the common rail. At the correct time the electronic injector is operated and the fuel is injected into the engine allowing ignition to occur. The timing and fuel quantity is controlled by an advanced engine management system which gathers data on the engine conditions via a collection of sensors. All of these sensors measure different system parameters to calculate the correct fueling for the engine at any given moment.


How do you perform diesel engine tune up?

For common rail diesel engines you can use a solvent that recommended by manufacturer and directly connect it to the high pressure diesel pump and run the engine for 45 -60 minutes

Can you diesel purge a common rail engine?

Yes, you can diesel purge a common rail engine, but it requires careful handling. Diesel purging involves cleaning the fuel system and injectors using a specialized cleaning solution instead of regular diesel fuel. It's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and ensure that the cleaning process does not damage any components, as common rail systems are sensitive to foreign substances. If you're unsure, it's best to consult a professional mechanic for this procedure.
