    The thing that really made me like diesels is that you can create diesel fuel from almost any oil, like vegetable oil, or even used cooking oil (as long as you properly filter out particulates). It does have to go through a refining process, but you could essentially make your own biodiesel with oil at home if you wanted. That's cool! You basically just need oil, methanol, and lye, and some know how, and you can make biodiesel that can run in modern diesel engines with no conversion necessary (except if you have natural rubber seals, biodiesel eats through them so you'll need synthetic seals).

      Also... what kind of km and how many a year? Most of what kills a car is age related deterioration. Internal corrosion, cold starts, gaskets aging and rubber and plastic components failing.
      Finally... because it’s an expensive diesel, people put more money into them. If you put half the money into a gas car it would last as long.
      I’ve had tons of very pedestrian cheap gasoline powere cars well over 500,000 km. It’s nothing special. Unlike the diesels that age without very major work... none were burning oil or making smoke.

    I bought a 30 foot yacht with a Penta Volvo diesel engine and was told tank was full (100 litres). I had driven it up and down Gold Coast Australia coast for roughly 10 hours. I thought I'd better put some diesel into the tank before my next trip. So I filled up a 20 litre container & started to empty it into my tank & I couldn't believe it. After about 7-8 litres , the tank was full. The only downside to it all was I mixed about 50 mls of Diesel cleaner into container & being so efficient, most of that cleaner is still sitting in container yet to be working its magic. love diesel.

  • @stathisbikos6563
    @stathisbikos6563 5 лет назад +15

    One should point out that, although some newer diesels do have a throttle body/valve, it's not actually required for engine operation. Vehicles that do have it use it for allowing efficient EGR operation, smoother engine shutdown and sometimes help with engine braking.
    Diesels can't actually restrict airflow like petrol engines during normal operation as any significant decrease in airflow will reduce ultimate compression pressure below minimum and hinder fuel ignition.
    Thus throttle valves only operate during engine coasting (to help with EGR) or during shutdown (to reduce piston knock back as the engine stops) and in some other specific scenarios.

    I own both a Turbocharged Petrol (2005 1.5T Mitsubishi Colt CZT) and a Turbocharged Diesel (2016 Seat Leon FR 184 TDI with a DTUK Tuning Box) car. Personally, I prefer the Diesel, boost kicks in way sooner (1800 RPM in the diesel, around 3500 in the Petrol) so it's great for overtaking and just in general driving such as pulling away from Junction. However I always make sure to only use the Diesel for longer journeys and the Petrol for shorter journeys to shops and such as the DPF getting clogged can be a big problem with the Diesel if you're not driving it often and long enough.

    Slight issue, diesel engines make more torque because they have a longer stroke, which is in turn due to higher compression.
    longer stroke means the the piston is acting on a longer lever to turn the crank shaft, so more torque.

    Forgot one fact! Diesels can turn into "runaway diesels" where the engine revs uncontrollably up to even 14000 rpm because of faulty gaskets in the turbo feeds oil into the engine causing ignition, turning the key won't help because the engine runs on oil now and not on diesel, so the only way to stop a runaway diesel is to either starve the engine of oxygen by taking a wood 2x4 covered with duct tape and putting it on the intake manifold so there is no air entering the engine or by holding down the clutch and brake pedals putting the car into the highest gear available and dropping the clutch and pressing the brake pedal hard so the engine stalls. Anyway hope you never get to experience a runaway diesel this has been education time with Vault-Tec Representative goodbye

      This is why you get your diesel checked out, or just run an NA diesel like a few of us do. I myself am gonna run an NA Duramax in my towing rig once I can afford it because of this problem. If your vehicle has a likelihood of doing this, then get the gasket replaced. It's that simple. (and my diesel is going to be a manual because of this problem. Although I'm going NA it's still better to be safe than sorry.)

      diesels do better with a turbocharger because of the high compression it will drive the turbine blades better and will lite both chargers for better boost and the diesel will get more torque that way but superchargers rob a lot of power from the engine to spin them for the air pressure into the engine

      @chrismchenry7879 7 лет назад +6

      diesels are more built for torque and pulling and are not made for speed that is why the power curves between the two engines is the opposite and a diesel has got to get to 1000 rpm before it starts making its HP where a gas engine can make it at a lot higher rpm`s versus the diesel but the diesel wont stall as fast under heavy load like the gas engine will because of the twice as much compression

    2:52 - The jake brake only opens the exhaust valve when the piston is at top dead center (or if it is an interference engine, just after the piston starts going down so there is clearance), because leaving the valve open through the entirety of the compression stroke won't have the same effect.

  • @photopawn37
    @photopawn37 7 лет назад +10

    Higher compression ratio also means higher expansion ratio. This means that more of the explosive force is used for pushing the piston down (and hence making the car go forward) rather than getting blown out the exhaust. This is similar to how under-square engines are more efficient. Its all about leverage.

  • @lenoohpuls
    @lenoohpuls 5 лет назад +22

    The point of the turbo (3:56) is to pump more air in the cylinder. In a diesel you can pump as much as you want (the more, the better). With petrol you are limited by the stoichiometric ratio.

    • @Bartonovich52
      @Bartonovich52 5 лет назад +3

      Uh... no.
      The stoichiometric ratio is just a air fuel ratio for complete combustion of fuels. For gasoline it’s 14.7:1. For diesel it’s 14.5:1.
      With either of them.... if you put more air in, you put more fuel in.
      Gasoline engines are generally limited by detonation. But although Diesel engines don’t have that limitation they are already running huge compression ratios, high heat, and insane forces on the dynamic components.
      Adding too much boost will destroy the engine as surely as a gasoline engine. This is why in tractor pulls they run super rich (smoky) mixtures for cooling, and have quite spectacular failures. That’s also why you want to avoid any chipped or modded Diesel engine like the plague.

    • @lenoohpuls
      @lenoohpuls 5 лет назад +1

      Bartonovich52 What you said is all correct, however you have to press "Read more" to see the full reply. I tried to be short on purpose. That said: Of course, you can just add more fuel to maintain the stoichiometric ratio, however (as you said) this will lead to engine knock IN PETROL engines. Not in diesel, since it only compresses air. And of course you can't just pump in an unlimited amount of air, because it would blow up the engine (both petrol and diesel).

  • @mjyan3599
    @mjyan3599 Год назад +1

    There is a new type of engines, which is a hybrid of Diesel and gasoline engines (you might call it "Disoline' engine.) as follows.
    High Efficiency Low Emission Hybrid ICE:
    By simply splitting the ring-section from its skirt - to be operated by a (valvetrain-like) piston-train to pump the gases during the intake and exhaust strokes, and combined with the skirt to complete the compression and power strokes - can achieve the hybrid. Which completes the 4 strokes, different in both displacements and periods, in every engine revolution - called D-cycle (Differential-stroke cycle) - a hybrid of the 2-/4-cycles.
    The D-cycle’s controllable exhaust strokes can be shortened to retain high amount of burnt gases to control the ignition initiation and combustion rates for the HCCI/LTC (homogeneously charged compression ignition with low temperature combustion). When combined with the (gasoline type) stoichiometric air/fuel ratio intake under high-compression ignition, it is the diesel-gasoline hybrid with the benefits of both - called SCCI/LTC-BGR (Burnt Gas Retention).
    The resultant hybrid can have Atkinson-cycle strokes, whole engine working at lower rpm, fewer cylinders with lighter engine support and vehicle styling, weight and efficiency gains, and etc. Diesel engines can avoid soot and NOx formation saving expensive after treatments with lower noises. Gasoline engines can enjoy diesel type (within structural limitations) efficiency (test shown >20%) and torque gains ( >2.5x).

    Diesel engines use glow plugs to ignite the air fuel mixture when starting up before switching to air compression for igniting the air fuel mixture. Because diesel is not volatile as petrol it does not give off vapours thus it is very hard to ignite when the Diesel engine is cold, especially in winter. I will stick with petrol since my winter season can be -30 degrees Celsius.

I drive short distance to work in my diesel and get 45+ mpg, anywhere over 20 min drive I get 50+. Sooo the longer engine life outweighs the costs of repairing parts (petro cars only last 180-200k with lots of issues and repairs by then) while diesels get 200k+ miles with ease and keep going.

    Diesel car for convenience, petrol (motorcycle) for fun. All those people saying diesel sucks, well, when you give me a petrol car that has the same (or better) fuel consumption, torque, ability to be run for free (waist vegetable oil or such) and price with engine under 2000 ccm (bc where I live the yearly registration is sky high for cars over 2000 ccm), I will gladly accept it, until then, I'll stick to diesels.

    Kind of funny how a lot of people don't mention why petrol engines tend to have higher power and torque than diesel engines (assuming both are naturally aspirated).
    Example to prove my point:
    2.2 liter naturally aspirated OM604 engine, to my personally it is one of the most interesting diesel engines I've ever been around.
    94hp @ 5000 rpm. 150nm @ 3100 rpm -> 42.7hp per liter. 68.2nm per liter
    A typical 1.4 petrol Golf engine.
    74hp @ 5500 rpm. 128nm @ 3300 rpm -> 52.9hp per liter. 91.4nm per liter
    And if you bring in the whole "If it has higher revs, it will automatically have higher horsepower", well first of all, the revs only differ by 500, second of all, that does not explain why the torque is higher by ~23nm, and fourth, I've actually seen cars with 6000 revs which had more high end torque, therefore had even MORE horsepower.
    Being a diesel fan, it's a tough pill to swallow, but I must admit, petrol engines are better for power AND torque, when naturally aspirated. It is just the power per fuel amount used that is better with diesel engines, making them economic "fun" cars and they are easier to turbocharge as even the older diesel engines used injection timing meaning that there would not be any knock just because of increased pressure, unlike petrol engines, which only started getting direct injection with timing control in the 21st century.
    But as far as "why" that is so, is mainly due to the air fuel ratio. Diesel engines typically go above an air fuel ratio of 20:1 (or lambda value of 1.379+) while petrol engines can provide an efficient combustion with an air fuel ratio even LOWER than stoichiometric (Although it is not recommended if your main goal is efficiency) so somewhere along the lines of 13:1 or lower for some cars that just want that extra power (or a lambda value of 44.6hp per liter. 70nm per liter.
    A friend's Suzuki Swift 1.3 liter engine.
    91hp @ 5800 rpm. 116nm @ 4200 rpm -> 70hp per liter. 89.2nm per liter.

      @0 0 well, yes. But diesel engines run high boost compared to petrol engines, which is partly why petrol engines these days get peak torque sooner than diesel engines, but it used to be different in the 90's and 00's.

    if diesel engine is the majority choice of people, then who the hell invented petrol / gasoline engine? They should release a diesel nissan GTR, mitsubishi evo's, and those lamborghini's and ferrari's and those sports cars that runs using petrol / gasoline, and make all of them diesel. Especially when seeing comparison videos of petrol and diesel it always shows that diesel engines are much better. #MyOwnOpinion.

Both fuels are great, and each has it's application.

      Canon Gaming drift is oversteering the vehicle wich means the dynamic weight is lasting on the front of the vehicle, meanwhile the back of it has nearly no weight at all so therefore no traction on the wheels. To oversteer is easily possible with a petrol as well as a diesel engine. Even electric powered engines can oversteer, or as you say "drift"
