To achieve the future emissions regulations with low particulate and Nox levels, both the engine combustion system and the fuel injection equipment will have to be improved. For the fuel injection ...

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 ...

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 ...

Diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios than gasoline engines, and fuel is injected under much higher pressure. An injection pump, usually driven by a belt or chain linked to the ...

Clean and lubricate your vehicle's fuel system with our top picks for the best diesel injector cleaners. Like any fuel-injected engine, diesel engines rely on fuel injectors to, well, inject fuel into ...

Diesel injectors fail because of two main reasons. The first has to do with the mechanical soundness of the injector structure, and the second has to do with the quality of the fuel running through ...

Back in 1998, General Motors and Isuzu teamed up to create a brand-new diesel engine that would be the first high-pressure common-rail, direct-injection powerplant to hit the U.S. vehicle market. The ...

Suppliers of diesel fuel injectors are fighting a technology battle to win new business as tougher European Union emissions rules take effect before the end of the decade. German suppliers Robert ...

Having fuel injectors on all mass-produced vehicles is one of the biggest automotive breakthroughs of the past few decades. If you've ever gone through having to start an engine with a poorly tuned ...
