The key ingredient to maximizing the peak performance of a diesel engine is increasing the amount of diesel being burned. On old mechanical-injection engines, the only way to do this was to modify the ...

There are certain key components in modern diesel-powered pickup trucks, cars, and SUVs that make these vehicles what they are today. Turbochargers, for instance, are a given among passenger vehicles, ...

The common-rail fuel injection system does away with a timed injection pump. Instead a single output pump supplies a fuel “rail” – a reservoir of fuel held at pressures of between 400 and 1400 bar ...

Common Rail Direct Injection is a very effective technology for diesel engines as it leads to better fuel efficiency, less vibrations and noise, reduced emission levels and many other technical ...

The clearances inside diesel injection system parts are closer than those found in any other technology. The plungers and needle valves in injectors need to fit tightly to ensure precise metering and ...

High-pressure common rail fuel (HPCR) systems are standard on nearly every diesel engine today, from heavy equipment to over-the-road trucks, light-duty trucks, large generators and more. HPCR fuel ...

Common rail diesel technology is reliable, clean, economic, durable – and in the MAN Group it is now available for the engine of a small truck up to a large marine diesel. For service on the high seas ...

There are two main ingredients to common rail fuel injection, one being the freedom to choose injection pressure and timing totally independently of the engine load. The other is computerized control, ...

VW will be dumping its line of TDI diesels by 2007 and switching to a common-rail design for all of its oil-burners, with annual production of the new engines totaling over 2 million units. This ...

Take any preconceived notion you have about diesel engines being slow, smelly tractor engines out of your mind. We're in the golden era of diesel performance, leaving behind yesteryear's "diseasel" ...
