Diesel fuel

Conventional wisdom was that diesel was the only way to deliver significant fuel economy improvements in trucks. However, the growing emergence of direct-injected and turbocharged gasoline engines have made the fuel economy difference between gas and diesel engines much smaller than before. Seredynski said that regardless of fuel, the end goal is the same: maximum power from the minimum amount of fuel. The Ram 1500 Eco Diesel is the current full size pickup mileage champ at 20/28 mpg in EPA testing

The first time I drove my friend’s diesel station wagon, I was impressed. How it seemingly sipped single droplets of fuel amazed me. In contrast, my father’s pickup truck guzzles gasoline like a drunkard downs alcohol. In our time of expensive petroleum and tight environmental restrictions, an automobile that can travel farther with less fuel means everything. Today, the very word “diesel” is synonymous with efficiency and reliability, and most importantly, savings for the people. But throughout

increasing the cetane number of a fuel by ten numbers. It is Soluble Organic Fraction of Particulate Matter particulate matter. These reductions in the soluble organic fraction of the particulate matter are expected in-turn to reduce the emissions of both poly-aromatic hydrocarbons and nitrated poly-aromatic hydrocarbons. Thermal and Oxidative Stability A cetane improvement additive that is thermally or oxidative unstable under actual conditions impacts on the fuel quality and could lead to poor

Diesel or gasoline; which is better for me? With today’s advances in technology and engineering, the decision is not as easy as one may think. There are several considerations to evaluate and weigh before making the decision to buy a diesel or gasoline powered vehicle. The following essay provides a short history of each while providing key facts to inform a prospective buyer which is better for him or her. History of the diesel and gasoline engine: The first diesel engine was invented by Rudolf

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Diesel engine is a very popular prime mover used for surface transportation, agricultural machinery needs and in industries. Diesel engines of more than 6.5 million units are being used only in the Indian agricultural sectors for different activities and the import of petroleum products is a major draw off on our foreign exchange sectors and with increasing demand in future years the condition is likely to become worse. Hence, it is an urgent need for a country like India

When someone mentions diesel, many people still have the image of a loud and obnoxious machine that is hard to start in the cold weather. This may have been true twenty to thirty years ago, but could not be further from the truth today! With all of the advancements in engine and emissions technology; diesel has become the new standard in fuel economy and power while still maintaining strict pollution standards as mandated by the EPA. As C.J. Baker explained here, “Diesel development has come a long

Diesel VS. Gas Pulling Power When choosing a pickup for pulling, there are many different options. The best choice usually depends on how much towing capability that is required. The most difficult decision is, whether to buy a diesel or gas powered pickup for towing. Diesel pickups have different pulling potential than gas powered pickups, and tend to be better suited for heavier loads. There are many factors that need to considered when deciding between a diesel or gas pickup. One of which is

Incresing demand of fossile fuel there is need to study a number of renewable sources. In present investigation influence of input parameter such as injection pressure, compression ratio and load on the performance of single cylinder diesel engine fueled with soybean biodiesel and its blend. The test are carried out with three different injection pressure (160, 200, 240 bar), compression ratio (18, 17, 16), load (1, 6, 11) and % of biodiesel (100%, 50%, 0%).
