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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A North West engineering firm specialising in common rail diesel fuel systems has invested £120,000 in new technology to repair smart injectors. Extract Engineering, in Carlisle, has added ...
