The key ingredient to maximizing the peak performance of a diesel engine is increasing the amount of diesel being burned. On old mechanical-injection engines, the only way to do this was to modify the ...

Today's diesel engines have considerably more fuel injection pressure than diesels of the past. For example, early Stanadyne DB2 injection pumps push fuel out to the injector at 6,700 psi, while newer ...

High-pressure common rail fuel (HPCR) systems are standard on nearly every diesel engine today, from heavy equipment to over-the-road trucks, light-duty trucks, large generators and more. HPCR fuel ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 104, Section 3: JOURNAL OF ENGINES (1995), pp. 112-127 (16 pages) A computer model solving the 1-D flow in a typical fuel injection system for direct-injection diesel engines is ...
