Mechanical Fuel Pumps Before the extensive adoption of electronic fuel injection, most of the carburetted automotive engines had mechanical fuel pumps that are also known as “puller pumps”. These had a good suction ability and transferred fuel (petrol or diesel) from the fuel tank to the fuel bowls of the carburettor. The space between the pump and the carburettor is fairly short and therefore puller pumps do not need to work hard to maintain a good…

Lapuerta et al [30] found a deviation of up to 34°C at the combustion produced temperature peaks of diesel engine with the ideal gas assumption and stated that the deviation of such a magnitude is considered important for emissions estimations only. Hence the ideal gas assumption is considered to be a good approximation as this work is concerned with performance…

Matt Champion Vinson W. Jaye Process Analysis Essay 8 September 2017 How to Rotate Tires Rotating the tires on your vehicle is recommended so that the tread stays evenly worn on all four tires. Since the front tires carry more of the car’s weight, then they tend to wear down much faster than the back tires. The front tires also wear down faster since they are the ones that turn. It is recommended to rotate your tires every six thousand miles. If you find trouble in keeping up with the miles,…

Using the right motor oil will improve your vehicle's performance, fuel efficiency. But, without oil to grease and cool moving parts, keep them clean and help to seal the pistons in the cylinders. The engine would run for only an amount of seconds, then seize. So, yes, oil is most important for trucks. The pickup trucks generate an…

the 80’s and 90’s diesel powered vehicles were infamous for their loud, smelly, and jittery engines. However, today’s diesel powered engines are significantly more quiet, more comfortable to drive, and with new technological advances, they aren’t throwing out black smelly fumes from their tail pipes thanks to newer catalytic converters. Diesel engines are more preferable today because they are superior fuel savers, last much more longer, and have a higher power output. A diesel engine is known…

Concerned Scientists). One huge bummer about diesel is that it's known to give off more smoke and more carbon dioxide that those cars with normal engines do. The smell from the smoke of the diesel doesn’t smell pleasant, this showing an issue in ethics, and social issues. As it affects the air making it smell worse affecting people (lung cancer could happen), and it's not ethical because it isn’t acceptable for all cars to start using diesel engines as it could affect the people…

When its comes right down to exhaust systems there's honestly only two out there that people really want. Those two performance exhaust systems are Magnaflow and Flowmaster. The debate is the sound that both systems put out on certain vehicles. For my personal opinion i'm going to have to go with flowmaster because for me they put out the most rumble in muscle cars and trucks. The benefits of having a Magnaflow exhaust system. Magnaflow is quickly becoming the system of choice with its loud and…

saving when switching from a gas to a diesel vehicle. Being statistically proven, the owner and driver of a VW Jetta sport wagon will save an estimated three thousand one hundred and twenty eight dollars over five years. Or even the VW Golf TDI or Turbocharged direct injection diesel car will save an estimated five thousand and thirteen dollars over five years(10) pg. 18. Diesel engines are superior to gas engines due to longevity, simplicity and reliability. A diesel engine is an internal…
