The fuel injection pump is the heart of the diesel engine. Precisely delivered fuel maintains a rhythm or timing that keeps the engine running smooth. Simultaneously, the pump also controls the amount ...

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 ...

Today's diesel engines have considerably more fuel injection pressure than diesels of the past. For example, early Stanadyne DB2 injection pumps push fuel out to the injector at 6,700 psi, while newer ...

Researchers have developed a promising yet surprisingly simple modification to diesel engines that could hold the key to reducing the complexity, maintenance, and size and weight of emission ...

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 ...

As part of an overall environmental strategy initiated 2 years ago to reduce its environmental "footprint" worldwide, Noble Corp., Houston, has targeted its diesel-powered drilling rigs for total ...

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 ...

Fuel injectors can get gummed up with dirt and fuel residue over time. Photo credit: David Traver Adolphus / Autoguide.com. Over time and miles, your car might start to slow down. It might not ...
