A low exhaust gas temperature in one unit of a marine diesel engine compared to others can be attributed to several factors, including incomplete combustion due to fuel quality issues, improper air-fuel mixture, or malfunctions in the fuel injection system. Additionally, variations in cylinder wear, differences in turbocharger performance, or cooling system inefficiencies can also contribute to the disparity in exhaust temperatures. Regular maintenance and monitoring are essential to diagnose and rectify such issues to ensure optimal engine performance.
Yes, diesel fuel coming out of an exhaust is a chemical change. The combustion process that occurs in the engine converts the diesel fuel into different compounds such as carbon dioxide, water, and other byproducts, which are emitted through the exhaust.
No. They have other exhaust regulation devices, such as the EGR (exhaust gas regulator), DPF (diesel particulate filter), and DEF (diesel exhaust fluid).
You wreck your car. Adblue is used in the exhaust not the engine. Don't do it.
Yes. The difference is that marine diesels do not (yet) have to run a diesel particulate filter, SCR, and other on-highway emissions controls, and thus can use low sulfur diesel fuel. Highway engines use Ultra Low Sulphur diesel fuel (ULSD) because of emissions requirements. Now, bear in mind that ULSD has less lubricity than low sulfur diesel fuel.
Because one has a petrol engine and the other has a diesel engine. Petrol/gasoline does not ignite the same way as diesel. It also does not have the lubrication qualities that diesel has. Gas in a diesel engine will damage the fuel system if the diesel very quickly.

If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel. Unleaded gasoline will destroy a diesel engine. Diesel fuel is also used as a lubricant in a diesel engine. The use of any other fuel except diesel will result in serious damage. If you have put unleaded in your diesel, do not start or drive this vehicle until you drain the tank and change all the fuel filters.If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel.

Diesel particulate filters (DPFs) are devices that are installed in an engine's exhaust system in order to filter particulate matter that exists in diesel fuel exhaust gas. DPFs can be used in non-road machines and automobiles. Efficiency of filters vary according to which filter medias are used and other factors such as type of regeneration. DPFs require "regeneration" which is the process of "burning off" the accumulated particulate matter (or PM) that has collected in the filter.
Diesel calls steam engines "Steamies."
The intake manifold is where the air and fuel mix and enter the engine. The exhaust manifold is where unspent gas and air exit the engine. In other words the intake manifold is where the engine breathes in and the exhaust manifold is how the engine exhales out.

Yes, you can swap a 6.2 diesel engine for a 6.5 diesel engine, as both engines share similar designs and mounting points. However, you may need to modify certain components, such as the exhaust system and wiring harness, to ensure compatibility. Additionally, it's important to consider the engine's performance characteristics and ensure that the transmission, cooling system, and other related parts can handle the swap. Always consult a professional or refer to specific guidelines for your vehicle model before proceeding.
