With a simple diesel engine compression test, it is possible to spot compression problems before they get worse. Here’s information on these tests and how to decide if it is time to perform one.

What is compression ignition? Compression ignition basically is the term that is used for describing the manner in which diesel engines function.

The VC Turbo engine combines the efficiency of diesel engines with the performance of gasoline engines. How does Nissan’s variable compression engine work?

Technical Differences Between Gasoline And Diesel Engines: Spark Versus Compression Both gasoline and diesel are extracted and refined from crude oils.

A fundamental difference between gasoline and diesel engines is that a gasoline engine uses spark ignition while a diesel engine uses compression ignition. Before we delve deeper, let's understand ...

A Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition engine can achieve 60 percent thermal efficiency. That's incredible.

Toyota Patent Suggests a High-Compression Diesel Truck Engine May Be in the Works With Toyota shifting away from V8s, this could be its answer for smaller displacement and high torque figures.

High compression, typical of diesel engines, is no longer needed to make the fuel ignite; in fact, the chemistry causing this auto ignition process exists only at lower compression ratios.
