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 clearances inside diesel injection system parts are closer than those found in any other technology. The plungers and needle valves in injectors need to fit tightly to ensure precise metering and ...

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 ...

If you’re in fleet management or the construction industry, you undoubtedly have machines that run on diesel fuel. In addition to large trucks, more than 75% of all heavy construction equipment uses ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Most diesel engines in the U.S. use a combination of technologies to reduce emissions. Usually there will be a diesel particulate filter (DPF), selective catalytic reduction (SCR) with urea (DEF fluid ...

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 ...
