Diesel injectors have gotten increasingly complex over the last twenty years of diesel development, but their basic design is fairly simple. Diesel fuel from the injection pump enters the mechanical ...

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 ...

The fuel injection pump is the heart of the diesel engine. Precisely delivered fuel maintains a rhythm or timing that keeps the engine running smooth. Simultaneously, the pump also controls the amount ...

Fuel injectors are the heart of a vehicle’s fuel system. Because they keep the fuel supply running smoothly, when an injector experiences a problem, the whole engine suffers the consequences. Because ...

Researchers have developed a promising yet surprisingly simple modification to diesel engines that could hold the key to reducing the complexity, maintenance, and size and weight of emission ...

As part of an overall environmental strategy initiated 2 years ago to reduce its environmental "footprint" worldwide, Noble Corp., Houston, has targeted its diesel-powered drilling rigs for total ...

Sandia National Laboratories researchers (left to right: Nathan Harry, Christopher Nilsen, Drummond Biles, and Charles Mueller) show off their prototype of ducted fuel injection module for diesel ...

Fuel injectors can get gummed up with dirt and fuel residue over time. Photo credit: David Traver Adolphus / Autoguide.com. Over time and miles, your car might start to slow down. It might not ...

Until electric cars and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles become the norm, most of us will drive automobiles that run on fossil fuels. We know it is not good for the environment, but it is the only option ...

Hydrocarbon deposits on injector nozzles and internal surfaces (far right) can impede their function and performance. Corrosion inhibitors, detergent additives, and lubricity agents can help alleviate ...
