Gasoline Vs Diesel - 4 Major Differences

Gasoline Vs Diesel - 4 Major Differences. What's the difference between gasoline and diesel engines? Gasoline engines attempt to keep the compression ratio so that the air-fuel mixture does not rise above the self-ignition temperature. Diesel engines on the other hand use higher compression ratios, leading to more torque and better fuel economy. Diesel engines typically do not have throttles, and they have much larger operating air-fuel ratios. How each of these systems perform engine braking is also very different, especially the "jake brake" used by larger diesel engines.

NEW VIDEO EVERY WEDNESDAY!

Honestly, this youtube channel is part of the internet that that makes me proud to be an information sharing human being. No banter, no politics, no beliefs. Just mechanical engineering that just is how it is.

[bryankirk]

This is a person a child like me needed in my youth.

[TheHPGUplink]

This channel kicks so much ass. Keep up the good work.

[EssRoxx]

It's amazing how this dude looks old and young at the same time... Great video though Mr Age Ambiguous

[manugatzi]

Forced my kid to watch your channel to quell his questions on what I do in the garage.. ends up asking a lot more about what if's.. learned a lot for you.

[enrichingexchanges]

I am not an engineer, and I know very little about these topics, but I do find them interesting. Your video was so clear that I cannot tell you how much I learned from it! Thank you!

[Daniel-aaaaa]

Great video! Can your next one be how jdm stickers add 150+ horsepower to my Honda Civic?

[theunknown]

You're like Vsauce for the car environment :P

[kingdavewoody]

Next please discuss Diesel vs The Rock :)

[alterherrentspannt]

Finally, after all my life, I understand how compression braking is different in a diesel engine. Thank You!

[inderawasih]

Thanks for the video. Very useful. Summary:
1) Presence of external ignition source
2) Feasibility of throttling
3) Air/Petrol compression ratio
4) Feasibility of throttling down

When I need solid information, I usually just look your channel up. My good sir, you are amazing at explaining information. I can tell you truly value your research, and I know you comprehend what you are speaking about. (or you wouldn't make a video on it in the first place) Thank you for these amazing videos. They restore a little bit of my faith in humanity.

[navisolim]

i dont understand people saying they hate the diesel engine sound...i love it i dont need any music just listening at the engine working its just satisfying to hear it :)

[DashboardJesus]

I find myself already knowing the majority of things you talk about, but the way you present everything and explain it to the audience makes it really enjoyable to watch! Very good job explaining all this stuff!

[McDubz]

Just bought a turbo diesel truck came here to learn about this new world I've opened myself up to. Thanks so much!

[jaydavidson]

As a fellow alumni of Mechanical Engineering from NCSU (2005) I'm grateful for your channel and the refresher courses! You brought me right back to my seat time in Broughton Hall. Excellent videos and keep them coming!

[allianceofsteel]

man i'm using him from now on.. better than sleeping pills.. everytime I listen.. i'm out.. within minutes... awesome.

[arefcr]

Learned more about engines in 9 minutes than my entire time at school. Thanks for explanation. Keep up the good work :)

[SirXyloid]

Either I'm just really tired or I never realized how fun it is replying to comments on this channel.

[crissanchez]

Thank you man, your videos kind of gave me an insight into engines and cars, I decided to pursue an auto technician degree and am currently loving it! Keep up the good videos!
