I’ve never had a problem with the sound and smell of a good Diesel engine.

[justhes]

I like diesels because they are loud and stinky.

[Moore]

This guy has the perfect "radio voice" and is informative to boot!

BACKWARDS!
Gas POPS like a explosion, kicking the piston like a bat hitting a ball.
Diesel burns throughout the stroke, a long soft shove. That's where the torque is created. Just ask the guys writing / programing the custom tune chips for all the trick diesels.

I just bought a 2013 Golf TDI and this is wonderful information. First diesel vehicle. Thanks!

Those big coolers work great but I gotta say I love my Ridgid Gen5x Hybrid Fan that will run off a battery or can be plugged in and is portable and has 10 different mounting options from hanging on a screw on the wall to being mounted on a tripod to being hung on a string or cable or even being mounted on a 2x4 from level to sideways or even upside down, It's definitely the way to go when your moving around. But I sure wouldn't mind one of those big coolers for my garage that's for sure!

This is an incredible channel. The amount of detail and professionalism is unlike most channels. Keep it up, guys! 10/10

Just want to say this helped me rebuff my knowledge for a job interview coming up and I cannot thank you enough for this video. Cheers!

[dowman]

Dude I love your explanation of gas v diesel, I think my wife finally understands... I've explained it to her many times but I didn't have a way to create the visuals that you did

[zchettaz]

My last car was a petrol 5.7L LS1 V8, but as I travel and tow alot for work, I now have a 4 cylinder 2.5L Turbo deisel. First thing I noticed was the lag and the knocking sound. Although diesel has much better fuel economy when towing, I miss the instant power and the purr of the V8.

[highwaystar]

Thanks for the informative video it helped me to decide against converting my 1959 3600 Apache to diesel. I will stick to the simplisity and low cost of a gas engine.

Bob, the throttle valve is strictly used to meter the exhaust gas as it is recirculated in the engine, but not in the traditional sense in a spark ignition engine where it is used to meter the intake air into engine.

DIESEL FUEL... Its not just a fuel but a way of life ^, .., ^

[petemiller]

This is one of the most professional/high production values YouTube channels I have ever seen. Is this on regular TV? It seems like it could be on a cable channel.

[seanzappulla]

Here in Australia most 4X4's are turbo diesel.

[DailyBeatings]

Motorz or motor-boating? I was preoccupied for the first few seconds of the video.

[the_natrix]

great video. I love reading comments on these videos because it reminds me of why science and technology rules and not the opinions of fools.

[evilpandakillabzonattkoccu]

@0:26 or so"....but there's one very important topic that we completely missed out on..." sir, i agree. let's go back and thoroughly study that very important yet underappreciated topic.... @0:00-0:04 that will do. thanks.

[viperfrank]

technically you are incorrect about diesel engines not having a throttle. some diesel engines do have a throttle, but it's not used to control the intake air or the revs like in a petrol. it's used to control intake vacuum under engine braking and for emission control.
not digging or nay saying, just thought I would add my 2 cents.

[tejz]

That was the smoothest match box pass ever
