Diesel engines and gasoline engines are so fundamentally different that it’s possible to do real damage simply by filling up your car with the wrong fuel. Converting a diesel engine to actually ...

We all know diesel engines produce Earth-moving torque to outclass gas engines in pulling power and heavy-duty workloads. We also know that diesels could outlive a similar gas engine, given proper ...

As a diesel owner, I know the hectic heartbreak of trying to keep such an unpopular drivetrain up and running in the U.S. Most people think of big semi trucks when they think of diesel, or they think ...

The engines that power the vehicles we drive are exceptional machines. They're capable of generating insane amounts of power in a relatively confined space, and they can generally be expected to ...

Diesel engines use compression to ignite the fuel, which needs to have an even burn, and cetane boosters have an important ...

The death knell has been ringing for diesel engines over the last decade, primarily because of their environmental impact. But some still swear by diesels for their abundant torque, efficiency, and ...
