    [citation needed] An example is a diesel engine powering equipment at an oil well head. Suppose the operators hit a pocket of natural gas. Suppose the operators hit a pocket of natural gas. In that case, it will come to the surface and the engine will take in the flammable gas and rapidly increase speed until the engine is destroyed, unless the ...

  4. Hydrolock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolock

    Diesel engines are more susceptible to hydrolock than gasoline engines. Due to their higher compression ratios, diesel engines have a much smaller final combustion chamber volume, requiring much less liquid to hydrolock. Diesel engines also tend to have higher torque, rotating inertia, and stronger starter motors than gasoline engines. The ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_pump

    The Unit Pump system [1] is a modular high-pressure diesel injection system, which is closely related to the unit Injector system, and is designed for use in commercial vehicle diesel engines. [ 2 ] The systems use an individual injection pump mounted on the engine block for each cylinder so it is primarily designed for OHV or "cam in the block ...

    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 diesel 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).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting is a form of problem solving, often applied to repair failed products or processes on a machine or a system. It is a logical, systematic search for the source of a problem in order to solve it, and make the product or process operational again. Troubleshooting is needed to identify the symptoms.

  8. Wet stacking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_stacking

    Wet stacking is a condition in diesel engines in which unburned fuel passes on into the exhaust system. [1] The word "stacking" comes from the term "stack" for exhaust pipe or chimney stack. The oily exhaust pipe is therefore a "wet stack". This condition can have several causes.
