SAE Transactions, Vol. 96, Section 4: RECIPROCATING ENGINES–SPARK IGNITION AND DIESEL (1987), pp. 614-623 (10 pages) A single-cylinder, variable–compression ratio, direct–injection diesel engine was ...
SAE Transactions, Vol. 107, Section 3: JOURNAL OF ENGINES (1998), pp. 2172-2182 (11 pages) Direct Injection technology represents a major breakthrough for both, Gasoline and Diesel engines with ...
Diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios than gasoline engines, and fuel is injected under much higher pressure. An injection pump, usually driven by a belt or chain linked to the ...
You're looking at the world's smallest direct-injection diesel currently in production. Built by Mercedes, this 799cc three-cylinder oilburner weighs just 190 pounds and powers the $16,750 smart ...
However, not all innovations are equal, and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

Reliable Diesel Engines That Just Won't Quit
Diesel engines lack the spark of gas engines, both literally and figuratively. They don't need a spark plug since they ignite the fuel using only compression, but also lack the 'je ne sais quoi' that ...
The basic difference between direct injection (DI) and the port-fuel injection (PFI) systems we've become familiar with since the mid-1980s is that PFI sprays fuel into the intake manifold (behind ...
Automotive engineers are very good at incremental improvements to existing technologies, and that skill will be much tested in meeting increasingly stiff fuel-economy rules between now and 2025. For ...
