	Diesel engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The next generation of common rail diesels are expected to use variable injection geometry, which allows the amount of fuel injected to be varied over a wider range, and variable valve timing similar to that on gasoline engines.
		Although the weight and lower output of a diesel engine tend to keep them away from automotive racing applications, there are many diesels being raced in classes that call for them, mainly in truck racing, as well in types of racing where these drawbacks are less severe, such as land speed record racing.
		Diesel engines can operate on a variety of different fuels, depending on configuration, though the eponymous diesel fuel derived from crude oil is most common.

	Petroleum diesel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diesel fuel is a specific fractional distillate of fuel oil (mostly petroleum) that is used in a diesel engine invented by German engineer Rudolf Diesel, and perfected by Charles F. Kettering.
		Diesel is produced from petroleum, and is sometimes called petrodiesel when there is a need to distinguish it from diesel obtained from other sources.
		Diesel is generally simpler to refine than gasoline and often costs less (although price fluctuations often mean that the inverse is true; for example, the cost of diesel traditionally rises during colder months as demand for heating oil, which is refined much the same way, rises).

	FAQ
		Diesel fuel is principally a blend of petroleum-derived compounds called middle distillates (heavier than gasoline but lighter than lube oil) and may or may not contain additional additives.
		Diesel fuel is designed to operate in a diesel engine where it is injected into the compressed, high-temperature air in the combustion chamber and ignites spontaneously.
		Diesel fuel lubricity is a measure of diesel fuel's ability to reduce wear on contacting metal surfaces found in fuel pumps and injectors.

	Shell Canada - What is Diesel Fuel? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Fuels that boil in a range of 150° to 330°C work best in diesel engines because they are completely consumed during combustion, with no waste of fuel or excess emissions.
		Unfortunately, paraffins are in short supply, and diesel fuel manufacturing requires the use of heavier crude components which boil at higher ranges.
		The temperature at which wax crystals form in diesel fuel is called its cloud point and, obviously, the lower the cloud point the better for cold-weather operation.

	Recommended Guideline on Diesel Fuel
		The diesel fuel is considered to be "superior in quality" insofar as it may assist in improving the performance and durability of engines currently in use and those to be produced prior to 2004.
		Diesel fuel should be clear in appearance and free of water and sediment.
		Aftermarket additives for improving diesel fuel lubricity should not be necessary and are not covered by this recommended guideline since they may react chemically with other additives causing them to lose their effectiveness, drop out of solution or even plug filters.

	Fuel System
		A fuel pump draws the fuel from the tank through fuel lines and delivers it through a fuel filter to either a carburetor or fuel injector, then delivered to the cylinder chamber for combustion.
		Diesel fuel emissions are higher in sulfur, and lower in carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons than gasoline and are subject to different emission testing standards.
		Fuel injectors are more susceptible to damage from dirt because of their close tolerances, but also fuel injected cars use electric fuel pumps.

	Howstuffworks "How Diesel Engines Work"
		If you have ever compared diesel fuel and gasoline, you know that they are different.
		Diesel fuel evaporates much more slowly than gasoline -- its boiling point is actually higher than the boiling point of water.
		It takes less refining to create diesel fuel, which is why it is generally cheaper than gasoline.
	auto.howstuffworks.com /diesel3.htm (173 words)

	Howstuffworks "How Diesel Engines Work"
		Gasoline engines generally use either carburetion, in which the air and fuel is mixed long before the air enters the cylinder, or port fuel injection, in which the fuel is injected just prior to the intake stroke (outside the cylinder).
		Diesel engines use direct fuel injection -- the diesel fuel is injected directly into the cylinder.
		Note that the diesel engine has no spark plug, that it intakes air and compresses it, and that it then injects the fuel directly into the combustion chamber (direct injection).

		The pre-heater, a 24 V diesel glow plug, together with a relay and thermostat was installed so that if a solid fat was used for fuel, any solidified fat in the filter chamber could be quickly melted.
		The fuel return line to the diesel tank was redirected to the fuel pump suction side between the solenoid valve and fuel pump.
		The only requirement for diesel, is that the motor must be allowed to reach operating temperature before operating on triglyceride oils, and that the oil must be diluted or purged from the fuel pump before shutdown.

	Make your own biodiesel: Journey to Forever
