2. Diesel engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_engine

   1952 Shell Oil film showing the development of the diesel engine from 1877. The diesel engine, named after the German engineer Rudolf Diesel, is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of the fuel is caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical compression; thus, the diesel engine is called a compression-ignition engine (CI engine).

   The Prince engine is a family of inline-four 16-valve all-aluminium petrol engines with variable valve lift and variable valve timing developed by PSA Peugeot Citroën and BMW. It replaced a part of the TU line (the other part was later replaced by the EB engine) and both the ES and EW lines.

   There were four options for the engine, the 2.4 L (2,366 cc) 22R (carbureted) and 22R-E (EFI) petrol engines and the 2.4 L (2,446 cc) 2L and 2L-T diesel and turbocharged diesel engines. The transmission for the petrol engines is the G52 type while the diesels used the R150 and R151 types.

5. Petrol engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrol_engine

   A petrol engine (gasoline engine in American and Canadian English) is an internal combustion engine designed to run on petrol (gasoline). Petrol engines can often be adapted to also run on fuels such as liquefied petroleum gas and ethanol blends (such as E10 and E85). They may be designed to run on petrol with a higher octane rating, as sold at ...

6. Diesel fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_fuel

   The first diesel engine prototype and the first functional Diesel engine were only designed for liquid fuels. [8] At first, Diesel tested crude oil from Pechelbronn, but soon replaced it with petrol and kerosene, because crude oil proved to be too viscous, [9] with the main testing fuel for the Diesel engine being kerosene . [10]

7. Diesel cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_cycle

   However, a real diesel engine will be more efficient overall since it will have the ability to operate at higher compression ratios. If a petrol engine were to have the same compression ratio, then knocking (self-ignition) would occur and this would severely reduce the efficiency, whereas in a diesel engine, the self ignition is the desired ...

   The latest vehicle to benefit from a 2.5 L VM Motori diesel engine is the purpose-built LTI (London Taxis International) London style taxicab. The TX4 is the first of the TX range of taxis to include a VM Motori engine. The company is also selling its products to off-highway applications, such as marine and defense. MTU Friedrichshafen, a ...

9. History of the diesel car - Wikipedia

   Due to the cost-cutting measures, the Oldsmobile V8 diesel engine was a dismal failure and changed the American perspectives toward the diesel engines for many years. The V8 diesel engine wasn't offered again until 1999 when Mercedes-Benz introduced the 4-litre OM628 V8 diesel engine for its passenger vehicles. Audi followed in 2003 with its 4 ...
