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 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 ...

Westport Innovations Inc. on Tuesday announced a second-generation high-pressure direct-injection natural gas system usable on original equipment manufacturers’ diesels. It replaces the dual-fuel ...

ABSTRACT Previous research has shown that elevating fuel injection pressure results in better air-fuel mixture formation, allowing for a further increase in maximum exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) ...

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

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

For those of you who haven’t spent much time around the Power Stroke name, the first 14 years of its production (the 7.3L and 6.0L) utilized a hydraulically activated, electronically controlled, unit ...

The droplet size of the fuel droplets produced by injector systems plays a central role in the control of the efficiency of the combustion process and the production of harmful emissions. As the ...

Gregg Petersen's Hilborn-injected Chevette. The first thing you should understand is that direct-port, constant-flow fuel-injection—Hilborns, En-derles, Crowers, whatever—were never designed, nor ...
