@shredmaster100 In a diesel engine the fuel is ignited by the heat created by the compression inside the cylinder. The glow plugs assist start up by heating the cylinders before you start it.
Diesel is a lot more safer than gasoline it needs to have a lot of compression in order to achieve combustion and diesel engines are a lot less complicated than gasoline
@themaster91156 it's not just about compression, it must be injected better pulverized, having a smaller contact surface, then turning its combustion process more efficient...
Safety first, environment last, at least you've got a fire extinguisher yet dumping fuel on the ground don't show this to EPA they will have a fit!! nice demo.
@Celsior400 diesel doesnt burn you idiot, this video was made for morons and imbeciles like you who dont know that diesel cars work on pressure not from burning
haha i know the differences between a gasoline powered engine and a diesel engine. there are many other videos out there that show what actually happens inside the engine. we dont need you to drop a match onto fuels.
Diesel cars and trucks where always the better deal , until lately starting in 2008 the EPA mandated equipment on diesels have pushed repair costs through the roof ! The 2010's are a nightmare . it has reached the point that the non- commercial driver would be better served with a gasoline car or truck ........ the light duty diesel is dead
Americans baffle me. They buy hybrid cars, but don't realize that diesel cars get far better mpg. Hybrid cars are not environmentally friendly as they require hazardous battery production. Americans love the idea of being green, but then the government taxes diesel and forces Americans to pay for more expensive gas-ethanol mixture that corn lobbyist were able pass. Idiots! The Prius gets 42mpg, but the least efficient European diesels get that at worst.
@rhonamitratara You said it man. I think the main reason the USA doesnt drive more diesels is because we have a lot stricter emissions testing then the rest of the world (we have to do some shit with carbon emissions - i dont remember the numbers, but Europes are way better compared to ours), and theres the other reason being people complaining about the smell and "sooty, black smoke".
@nullx86 Europes better than ours!!??? Europe uses more diesels than America does! The only reason we don't use more diesels here is because our infrastructure was formed to use gasoline and it would require changing to implement diesel. Diesel gets more from its fuel than gasoline does. You take two amounts of fuel, gas and diesel, you get more energy than gas. Diesels don't waste fuel like gas engines do, that is a fact. Our country just wont make the change!!
@7150285 Uh Dude. America i am an america, You have no idea how many Nukes and Planes and shit we have Look up Davids Monthan AFB on Google maps and message me back its in Tucson Arizona we have 2800 plane in that one base
@7150285 Um, even russia doesn't know how many nuclear bombs they have since they never assigned serial numbers. But anyway, it is very safe to say that U.S. definitely has more nuclear bombs. Planes, not sure, probably u.s. But look out for CHINA on the rise!
@jctevere most ppl don't know about this but after the cold war, they found out Russia have bout 2 or more nukes than we do. And their a lot of their nukes were much powerful. I'm pretty sure a lot if nukes are dismantle by now though
Germans had diesel tanks in WWII and they could take a beating and keep on ticking. Allies had gas powered tanks and the fuel was likely to ignite when the tank was fired upon. Obviously tank drivers would probably prefer to drive a diesel tank.
Diesel is higher octane. it takes more to get it to cumbust which means there is more stored energy. Diesel is actually on a scale of cetane not octane look it up.
diesel is better guys but u have to treat the fuel first then burn it , i drove a gasoline engine on diesel (don t laugh guys) after i treated the diesel , the car ran better and 4 times longer than gasoline..... alot of tricks out there guys , just can t talk about it ........... got the reason yet?
Gas has a very low vapor pressure since it has to vaporize and be ignited by a spark. Since diesel has a much higher vapor pressure, there are no fumes to ignite at room temperature. Throw it on a fire and it'll be a different story ;)
Hey would someone like to try 100LL avgas vs. Jet-A? Supposedly the future of general aviation will run on Jet-A fuel which is a kerosene based fuel that burns in diesel engines. The trick is getting the diesel engines lighter. But man reliability is going to be awesome. No plugs, no ignition system to worry about, no carburetor heat.
Hey juanpi182, diesel is not gay, gas is , Diesel is better from the enviroment and it burns less than gas and very less flammable like gas is and when Im 24 or 35 I HOPEFULL get my powerstroke 6-speed truck my little(ranger) truck gets 14 mpg with automatic
I'll take my much cheaper gasoline at this day and age. You all can pay more for diesel to brag about it not burning fast.
It burns that way because the engines has high compression. Can you imagine a fast burning fuel in a high compression engine? It's called a melted piston.
your an idiot, and by the looks of it. diesel is now cheaper than gasoline once again. By the way a fast burning fuel in a high compression engine is called a dragster, look it up.
No, that's called running lean enough to not melt your piston. You know how engines work, right? And what octane means? I can actually tell you don't. 'Fast' burning fuel would be 87 octane, 'slow' would be 93 or 110, etc. etc. Has to burn slower to keep the cylinder/piston cooler. Otherwise, you get pre-detonation/pinging. I won't confuse you any further, you spelled 'you're' wrong when you said I'm an idiot. Funny stuff.
@StedySniper I don't see anywhere I spelled learn wrong. I love logging in and seeing comments, it's why I do what I do. Not gettin' om my nerves, lol.
my gas dodge gets less than 15mpg on the highway. My diesel dodge gets up to 24 on the highway (hand calculated over & over). Besides that my gas dodge is pretty gutless; the diesel has tons of power. I get about 140 miiles more out of a tank of diesel (both trucks have 34 gal. tanks)
Hey juanpi182, diesel is not gay, gas is , Diesel is better from the enviroment and it burns less than gas and very less flammable like gas is and when Im 24 or 35 I HOPEFULL get my powerstroke 6-speed truck my little(ranger) truck gets 14 mpg with automatic
yeah i did that experiment once and it was the thank of a truck was licking and it had a bucket cathching it and we trhough matches and didnt do anything
hehe that reminds me of an episode of mythbusters when they were doing the flame trail behind a car with a fuel leak.. they found out that they couldnt ignite the diesel & jet fuel even with a propane torch.
Something the government keeps quiet is that when unleaded petrol hits your exhaust manifold or cat, that it will ignite and set fire to the car. Leaded petrol had a higher combustion temperature and was inherently safer. Have you noticed how there are many more car fires since the introduction of unleaded fuel? Not a nice way to go!
well.. on this one single issue i have to say leaded gasoline even though it is the BEST for performance use.. really isnt good for life on earth (last time i check lead is poisonous).
you need some glow plugs to heat the diesel before it combusts i think
