York 3 Vroom! Diesel mechanics proves to be an interesting career. There are many tools needed in this area to fulfill the career‚ which means money. Diesel engines have been around for a long time now. This job field covers several different kinds of jobs such as truck mechanics and repair and maintenance. A Diesel engine is an engine that starts itself by compression. These engines first started in America. The first diesel engine was invented in 1892. In 1930 they started putting the

. How Do Diesel Engines Work? The basic difference between a diesel engine and a gasoline engine is that in a diesel engine‚ the fuel is sprayed into the combustion chambers through fuel injector nozzles just when the air in each chamber has been placed under such great pressure that it’s hot enough to ignite the fuel spontaneously. Following is a step-by-step view of what happens when you start up a diesel-powered vehicle. 1. You turn the key in the ignition. Then you wait until the engine

Internal Combustion Engines An internal-combustion engine is a heat engine that burns fuel and air inside a combustion chamber located within the engine proper. Simply stated‚ a heat engine is an engine that converts heat energy to mechanical energy. The internal- combustion engine should be distinguished from the external- combustion engine‚ for example‚ the steam engine and the Stirling engine‚ which burns fuel outside the prime mover‚ that is‚ the device that actually produces mechanical
