Wondering why modern heavy machinery no longer spews black smoke? Discover the massive technological shift that changed ...

Diesel engines are very different from gas, so have the right information to repair the air filter, fuel filter, fuel system. The air filter setup on most diesels is the same as on gasoline-powered ...

A retrofit system that converts diesel engines to operate on 90% hydrogen has been prototyped and tested by University of South Wales (UNSW) researchers. This system drastically reduces emissions of ...

A team of engineers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney has figured out a way to run a diesel engine on a mix of diesel and hydrogen, dramatically lowering its emissions. Why do we ...

Water contamination is one of the chief enemies of any diesel-fueled equipment. All fuels contain some water in suspension, but unlike gasoline, diesel fuel is less refined and will hold a much larger ...

Liquid fuel storage requirements are based on fuel type, usage, and whether the fuel is “combustible” or “flammable” as assessed by the fuel flash point. This ...

Modern diesel submarines seem to break a basic rule of engines: they keep moving underwater even though diesel power needs oxygen. The trick is that these boats are really two propulsion systems in ...
