No. Many VW Jetta's with Turbochargers are fueled by gasoline.

The turbo greatly enhances the performance of a diesel powered vehicle. Turbo's are powered via exhaust from the engine that forces more air into the intake manifold. This increases power. Works on gas and diesel powered vehicles

How does turbo diesel engine works?

All current Diesels are 4 cycle engines like gasoline engines, intake compression power exhaust the only difference, is that the compressed air from the turbo doesn't get mixture with fuel while going into the cylinder. A diesel engine compresses it and sprays the diesel fuel into the combustion chamber when the piston is near/at full compression. The air is so hot that the fuel automatically ignites when it is sprayed( no spark plugs).


Is a 1994 Powerstroke diesel F350 turbocharged?

yes all powerstroke engines are turbo


Does diesel compress?

Disel fuel, like all oils, isn't compressible. Diesel engines relies on compression for ignition.


2008 ford diesel unleaded fuel in tank?

Diesel engines have a much higher compression ratio than gasoline engines. Therefore, you need to drain all the gas you can out of you tank and fill it with diesel.


Why are diesel engines so loud?

The high pressure fuel injectors make all of the noise.


What happens if you put unleaded gasoline in a diesel car?

Diesel engines have a much higher compression ratio than gasoline engines. Therefore, you need to drain all the fuel you can out of your tank and fill it with diesel. Gas in a diesel engine will go boom, and destroy your engine.


Can you put wastegate in a turbo diesel engine..what is the function of wastegate?

There already is a wastegate in turbo diesel engines, most all turbo (petrol/diesel) engines for that matter. The purpose of a wastegate is to give the exhaust gasses a passage to flow that doesn't spool the turbo over the desired psi. The 2 most common wastegate designs are: 1. a series veins that surround the exhaust wheel of the turbo and pivot to open and close off the pathway to the exhaust wheel. 2. a swinging plug that opens a hole at peak boost and allows exhaust gasses to pass whithout spinning the turbo any further.


Do submarines need gas?

No - all submarines, be it nuclear or diesel-electric, use diesel fuel, either for primary engines (DE) or backup generator (nuclear).

Petrol or diesel? What year? All today's Ford engines, both petrol and diesel, use 5w/30 'fuel saving' oil.


Is a 1996 peugeot 306 xld a turbo?

No only if its got a 't' in it. It will be 70 BHP diesel, same as 1.6 petrol (But all Diesel engines are a "turbo" - it's how the diesel engine works." All diesel engines are not turbo charged !!! The easiest way to identify if the engine is turbo charged is to look at the exhaust manifold and see if you can see a turbo, a normally aspirated engine will have the exhaust pipe straight on to the manifold a turbo charged engine will have what look like bulges in the manifold area with a small rod and vacuum pipe (this controls the waste gate). On the 306 the easiest way to identify either way is to open the bonnet and look at the engine, if there is a unit on top of the engine that looks like the radiator this is the 'intercooler' and the engine is turbo charged if this is not present and there is a black air box then this is normally aspirated and does not have a turbo !!


Does the cummins 6.7L turbo diesel have a timing belt?

no, the 5.9l and the 6.7l cummins turbo diesel engines uses a series of timing gears not a chain or belt. reasoning for this is the power impulse and torque created would stretch the chains or belts over time. The gears last much longer. All truck hd truck engines use timing gears.


Do all trucks have diesel engines?

no
