How would water get into the fuel system on a diesel engine?
Water is attracted to diesel fuel. Moisture in the air gets in there. That's why you need the special filters for this.
What is the real name for diesel?
The name diesel is as real as it gets. It's named after Rudolph Diesel, a German engineer who designed the diesel engine, to which the term diesel refers. The fuel used to power these engines is a form of petroleum, called diesel after the engine.
When air in the cylinder of a diesel engine is compressed it?
it gets hot, and ignites the diesel fuel that is injected by the fuel injectors.
Does cold diesel make your car go better?
No, never put diesel in a gasoline engine it will foul up the sparkplugs in your engine, clog it up, and make it smoke alot. Cold Diesel in a diesel engine isn't too good either because when diesel gets cold it gels up, that is why most diesel engines have a built in heater to warm up the engine and fuel before starting. Hope this helps
What are gasoline engines and diesel engines?
The Diesel cycle engine was named after the German engineer who invented it, Rudolf Diesel. A Diesel engine uses two principles: air gets hot when you compress it, and fuel will ignite if it gets hot enough. The engine compresses air introduced into the cylinder to a very high pressure. When fuel is injected it immediately ignites.
What gets hotter diesel engines or petrol engines?
all things equal both are the same..In air cooled engine the diesel is slightly hotter.
How many BTU per gallon of diesel fuel?
One gallon of diesel fuel is equal to 139,200 BTU. The man who invented the compression-ignition engine was Rudolf Diesel. This is where diesel fuel gets its name.
How much more efficiency does a diesel engine got than a gasoline engine?
The diesel engine has more toque, gets better fuel mileage (30%) better, and will last longer with less maintenance. It does cost more initially and diesel fuel is more costly but for some applications is a wise choice.
What would happen if water gets inside diesel engine?
It will break a lot of expensive parts. If the water gets into the fuel, it will blow the tips off your fuel injectors...and new injectors are several hundred bucks apiece. This is why every diesel engine made in at least the last fifty years has a fuel/water separator which you MUST drain on a regular basis. If enough water gets into the cylinders the engine will hydrolock. Hydrolock happens when there's more water in a cylinder than there is cylinder volume at top dead center. The piston will hit the water and stop moving. The engine, not expecting there to be water in it, will keep on trying to force the piston upward. The least thing that will happen is you'll bend a connecting rod, which means an overhaul. The next worst thing is the head can break...in addition to bending all the rods in the engine. The next worst thing is the crankshaft can bend or break. The next worst thing is all of the above can happen at the same time. And the VERY worst thing that can happen is, besides your engine blowing up, diesel fuel can get loose, contact the hot engine, ignite and burn up whatever the engine is in.
What is diesel fuel system air lock?
Air lock refers to when a Diesel engine stalls from running out of fuel or a broken line Etc. Air gets into the pump and the engine will not run until fuel is pumped and the air is Bled out.
What happens when water gets in the diesel gas tank?
it goes bo bo ba booom
Can a diesel engine catch on fire if its leaking fuel?
Yes it can if the fuel gets hot enough to ignite as in leaking on a header.
