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 ...

Most people know that internal combustion engines require a fuel source to run. For many passenger cars and trucks, that fuel source is gasoline. However, many commercial vehicles, boats, farming ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Diesel truck fans may have heard the legends surrounding the 12-valve Cummins. Found in trucks like Dodge Rams from 1989 to 1998, its fully mechanical fuel system and rugged injectors are celebrated ...

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 ...

To save time and money, you might want to learn how to clean fuel injectors without needing to rely on professionals. But do ...

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 ...
