Yes, short journeys can damage diesel engines over time. Diesel engines require a certain amount of operating temperature to burn off contaminants and moisture that accumulate during short trips. Frequent short trips prevent the engine from reaching optimal temperature, which can lead to issues such as increased carbon buildup, reduced fuel efficiency, and potential damage to components like the DPF (diesel particulate filter). Regular longer drives are beneficial for maintaining diesel engine health.

Is diesel a short term solution to fuel crisis?
No. Diesel engines are a bit more efficient, but not enough to be hugely important.
Should you buy a Citroen diesel if you do low miles?
If you do low miles, buying a Citroen diesel may not be the best choice. Diesel engines are generally more efficient on longer journeys, and frequent short trips can lead to issues like DPF (diesel particulate filter) clogging. Additionally, the higher initial cost of diesel vehicles and potential changes in regulations regarding diesel cars could make them less appealing for low-mileage drivers. Consider a petrol or hybrid option instead for better suitability.
Are all power stroke engines diesel models?
The short answer is, Yes. Power Stroke is the diesel engine, made by Navistar International Corporation, that Ford Motor Company uses for its diesel powered F- series pick up trucks. These engines use Ford's software for engine management.
Do Diesel engines use a lot of oil over a short period of time?

How many miles wouled you get out 60 pound diesel?
Dependent on speed and engine size, you get around about 400miles. I have a 2.0 TDI, I filled it up and did long motorway journeys and it lasted about 480miles, another month I filled up and did regular short journeys and I got about 380miles.
Can a diesel gearbox be used with a petrol engine?
It will physically fit as many diesel engines share the same blocks, but the gear ratios will be unsuitable, due to the reduced effective rev range of a diesel compared to the petrol engine. In short, will probably fit, won't work

Why do diesel engines have higher fuel mileage than gasoline engines?
Short answer is that diesel fuel has about 30% more energy per gallon than Gas. Second diesels run lean burning unless alot of power is being used. Third, the compression ratios of Diesel are near the 20:1 range where most new cars are 9.5-11:1. The higher the compression ratio the more effecient the engine.
When to change timing belt on 1.7 diesel corsa 2003?
Vauxhall recommends every 100,000 miles or 10 years, but my Haynes manual recommends every 6 years or 60,000 miles if the car is driven on lots of short town journeys.
What is the vision of diesel?
short sighted
Is it possible to convert petrol engine Ambassdor car to run with diesel?
If you are referring to the Hindustan Ambassador, then there were very few body style changes. If the chassis is the same between all of the years (I don't know if it is), then any engine, from any year should bolt in. Diesel engines were first available in Ambassador's in 1979 and if you have a petrol powered car, made after that year, the diesel engine should be a direct bolt in. As for taking your petrol engine block, and upgrading it to run on diesel; I wouldn't recommend it. Ambassador engines are small, and the petrol engine probably can't handle the added combustion forces required for diesel fuel. Short simple answer: NO
