The automotive industry continues to be a hotbed of innovation, with activity driven by fuel efficiency, and engine performance and fuel economy standards, and growing importance of technologies such ...

ABSTRACT To meet increasingly stringent diesel exhaust emissions requirements, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have introduced common rail fuel injection systems that develop pressures of up ...

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 ...

ABSTRACT Due to its ease of use in diesel engines, its presumably lower carbon footprint, and its potential as a renewable fuel, biodiesel has attracted considerable attention in technological ...

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 ...

"Common rail." It is a term that at this point is universally known across the entire diesel space. However, for uninitiated or new enthusiasts, the term refers to the manner in which late-model/newer ...

You can always tell a diesel truck is headed your way from the "diesel rattle," right? Well, not so much anymore. Significant technological advances have eliminated much of the rattle we associate ...
