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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Diesel engines use compression to ignite the fuel, which needs to have an even burn, and cetane boosters have an important ...

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 ...

This paper presents firstly the newly developed "Timing and Injection Rate Control System" for heavy duty diesel engine. In this system, a new concept of diesel fuel injection variable pre-stroke ...

The '94-'98 Cummins 5.9L engine has been the mainstay of diesel power in Dodge trucks, and has a reputation as an excellent performer with the ability to make some serious horsepower. One of this ...

Diesel engines are notoriously robust, but if the fuel they run on gets contaminated, the engine can suddenly become much ...
