Diesel does have a slightly higher energy content by volume than gasoline, though the difference does vary a bit.
Diesels have a lower brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) than gasoline engine primarily because they have a higher thermal efficiency, i.e. they can extract more useful work from the chemical energy in the fuel.
the two stroke diesel is the future . with modern emission equiptment and hdi technology thers no reason why a 1 litre 3 cylinder two stroke diesel cannot power a family car with low emisions and great mpg
@spencnaz The Foden 2 stroke diesel had a capacity of only 4 litres, (175 bhp) & was competing against big 4 stroke diesels of the time of some 12 litres, so it certainly had to be kept in its optimum rev range. The engine had to be kept between 1500-2300 rpm. Any lower than 1500 it would be as flat as a pancake, any higher than 2300 it would be redlining. The driver basically played tunes on the box to keep the revs up!
In the 1960s I worked at a garage in what is now Telford (UK) and the entire staff used to go to the main entrance when a local gravel company's SWB 8 wheeler 2-stroke fully laden used to go past with it's engine howling, a magnificent sound, the memory of it gives me 'goose-pimples' to this day.
For such a serious posting the latest or majority of comments are very disappointing if you have nothing positive or really negative (with any weight) to say I'd be inclined to ease off a bit .
Now when i was a lad,late 70,s, i went for a walk with me dad one xmas day,and i can only describe as awesome what i heard,our local fire brigade had a simon snorkel with a foden 2 stroke diesel and it was flat out then down through the box and off again,across a deserted chichester it just sounded mega,2 stroke diesels rock!

2 strokes ftw! hahaha wll im kinda on both sides, were all fucked cause we are destroying the world and no mater what we do its not going to stop, but lifes to short to worry about getting crappy lil hybrid cars,
that's what i just said... co2 is a natural occurring gas, people/animals/insects/fish/bacteria, all produce co2
just as anything that gets burned, rotts, rusts etc, it all releases all the co2 they have absorbed during the time they grew
so the last 100 years of industry has causes global warming, but the last 4.5 billion years of natural production ( which is argually more yearly then industry) didnt....
all i can say is DIESEL POWER and i aint even to the college level yet, haha, they make more power, use less fuel, and they are more dependable while lasting longer too!
@MossyOak83 They have less power but more torque. Which is why all manufacturers turbocharge their diesels for them to compete with more powerful DOHC.
@NearAbbeyRoad I don't know where you got your information form but diesel has far less caloric value than gasoline, same as jet fuel. They both poduce less heat than gasoline engines when operating. Because of the lower temps and the slower flame front speeds compression engines don't have the horsepower gas engines do but they have a fatter,flatter torque curve at lower rpm. Look it up if you don't believe, I have owned diesels for over 30yrs.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you guys are speaking in very vague terms
"deisel is better than gas"
which deisel? which gas engine"
if you think a 2002 f250 with a 7.3 liter turbodiesel is better for the environment than a 2 liter honda vtech, your fuckin mad,
now take a a new VW tdi and now youre talking, but thats not a deisel as your thinking
now how bout a 2009 f550 with a 6.5 turbodeisel, they get 8 mpg, thats GREAT for the environment! .... much better than a 4 cylinder toyota motor or honda motor right?! lol
No it actually doesn't have or need no oil in combustion chamber, because the oil is in the oil pan like gasoline 4 stroke, and it has exhaust valves like 4 stroke and intake ports like 2 stroke.
Just when I thought I knew a lot about engines you came up with this clip. I did not know that they had 2 stroke diesel engine. It thought this is a joke till I heard the sound of the engine in this clip. Anyway like 2 stroke bezien engine they do make a lot of emission.
The Foden 2 stroke doesn't sound anything like the Detroit 2 stroke engine - the Detroit (anything other than the V8 or bigger) sounds like a V8 at flat-ouut revs
All 2-stroke diesel truck engines (Detroit 2-strokes) were discontinued in the US about 30-years ago due to terrible fuel economy, terrible emissions, and terrible longevity. (Must be the "Big Oil Conspiracy", right??
Detroit Diesel now makes and sells an EXCELLENT 4-stroke truck engine in the US,called the Series-60. Stop buy your local truck dealer to check it out.
The 92 series(now a 96series) is actually still in production down in Florida through a company known as"ALL World Power Products" owned by Jack Bivens, a former employee of Detroit Diesel since 1964, and started this co. in 1981. Google i
Thanks for the info! I will check out the "96 series" I should have been more clear in my statement. They were discontinued for ON-Highway truck use in the USA. I know they were, (and still are) used in many off-road and industrial applications. Note that I DID say "truck engines". ;o)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You are a dick brain. For all our saviours sake, get your facts straight before shooting your mouth off. It is clear to all that know anything about diesel engines that your opinions are cronically flawed. Don't screw with DD.
Oops! that's Britain. The Foden has a distinct difference from the Detroit: the Fuel system. Foden uses an inline injection pump, short injector lines, and finally the pressure-opened injectors themselves. Detroits used unit injectors operated by the camshaft. Each unit injector has a throttle rack actuated by a common linkage.
detroit i think still makes 92 series and up for locomotives don't quote me on that. i don't know as much about locomotives as i do trucks. but they quit making two strokes for trucks in the late 80's and for metro buses in the early 90's. the only detroit series left for trucks is the 60's series which is a four stroke inline 6.
Foden FD 6 engines are 4.8 litre, six cylinder in-line configuration. They are rated between 90 HP and 210 HP. This is dependant on engine Mark (1-7) and application. All were supercharged (Roots type), some were also Turbocharged with inter/after cooling.
Thanks for posting...as a boy I was always fascinated by the Foden Supercharged 8x4 of Farming Supplies LTD, Heybridge,Maldon, Essex which I think was their only vehicle. It sounded like a huge hair drier on the road. The registration was I think 1061 DD or similar. I don't know the original Glos operator.
It fires on every revolution, rather than on every other revolution like a 4-stroke does. So it sounds like 4000rpm at 2000rpm. Sounds cool. Consider this when you hear a chainsaw revving and compare it to the the 4-stroke engine.
They don't. They sound faster because they have twice as many power strokes. instead of an intake, compression, power and exhaust cycle they have a combined intake/exhaust cycle just before and after bottom dead center. then a normal compression and power. every down stroke is a power stroke.
Visited the U.K November 2004. Rode in a 1970 S36 two-stroke Foden on a 200 mile run. Will never forget it. What a sound. Did a 45 minute audio recording of it working hard up Necastle way and put it on CD. Nothing sounds as good as a Foden two-stroke. Would like you to hop in the cab and record it working hard.
This was recorded from our S34 which has the Foden Mark 6 Two Stroke & 12 speed box, so it can make a fair sound. I take it from your user name that you are into Commer TS3's. My father used to drive a Maxiload. I should have a few more video clips on here soon.
Any chance you could remove the stupid comments from the even more stupid "people" who cannot engage their brain *before they engage their mouths* and as a result of which they post stupid comments... Nice work on the truck, and great video as well!

Some of the folks commenting here should know that these big diesel two strokes aren't like the small 2T motorbike engines at all.
They don't have crankcase compression ,and so oil doesn't mix with the petrol/air mixture.
The blue smoke you can is similar to what you'd get with an old worn 4 stroke engine.
All modern large ship engines are turbocharged 2T with powers up to 115,000 bhp

Did a 45 minute audio recording of it working hard up Necastle way and put it on CD. Nothing sounds as good as a Foden two-stroke. Would like you to hop in the cab and record it working hard.

This was recorded from our S34 which has the Foden Mark 6 Two Stroke & 12 speed box, so it can make a fair sound. I take it from your user name that you are into Commer TS3's. My father used to drive a Maxiload. I should have a few more video clips on here soon.

Any chance you could remove the stupid comments from the even more stupid "people" who cannot engage their brain *before they engage their mouths* and as a result of which they post stupid comments... Nice work on the truck, and great video as well!
