Abstract/Contents: | Discusses diesel engines, comparing them to gasoline engines. Highlights several key characteristics of diesel engines, including the fuel injector, the engine's high compression rate, and glow plugs. Suggests that diesel engines are more economical due to reduced Carbon Dioxide emissions and longer engine life. Briefly mentions diesel oil, characterizing it as oilier than gasoline due to its higher carbon content. |
