Important Facts to Share for Your Customer’s Next Diesel Oil Change
For your diesel power plant customers, there are a few things to consider for their next oil change to know if they’re giving the proper cleansing the engine needs. Negligent oil changes often lead to unwanted engine sludge and possibly engine failure.
VP Racing Fuels Cetanium Boost for Diesel
Packaged in 32 oz. containers, Cetanium cleans injectors and pumps, prevents sludge and deposits and replaces lost lubrication. This yields an increase in horsepower, increased fuel mileage, a reduction in smoking and greater protection, including for biodiesel applications. Each container treats up to 10 gallons.
Centerforce 1,700 lb. ft. Rated Diesel Twin Clutch for Cummins-equipped Rams
The Centerforce Diesel Twin uses two sprung hub discs with a patented floater design that uses spring-loaded bushings to absorb typical “floater rattle.” The floater is drilled and slotted like a brake rotor to dissipate heat. This configuration helps to retain stock-like drivability. Smooth engagement comes from the two-stage sprung hub friction discs.
New Study on Clean Diesel Technology Affirms Near-Zero Emissions
The Diesel Technology Forum has issued the following statement regarding the final report of the multi-year Advanced Collaborative Emissions Study (ACES) conducted by the Boston-based Health Effects Institute (HEI). HEI conducted the independent study of new technology diesel engines to determine whether the engines achieved the expected emissions reductions, thereby improving air quality for public health.
WIX Filters Mobile, Stationary Water Absorbers and Test Kits For Diesel, Gasoline Systems
WIX Filters, a global manufacturer of filtration products, is offering mobile and stationary water absorbers and test kits for diesel and gasoline systems. The heavy-duty mobile diesel water absorber continuously removes water to prevent algae, sludge buildup, bacteria and fungus in diesel fuel.
Could Our Cars Get Two Stroke Diesels?
The diesel engine, once only a bastion of trucks and European passenger cars, is becoming more and more popular every year, even here in the United States. Conversely, one technology that isn’t so popular is the two-stroke. After having a solid run in several cars throughout the decades, the two-stroke engine now seems mostly consigned
Renault Unveils Two-Stroke Twincharged Diesel Two Cylinder
The automotive industry is a strange place sometimes. That said, most of the new engines being released these days follow quite predictable patterns- either ultra-high compression turbodiesel or hybrid gasoline engines. However, Renault has just surprised us yet again. This surprise came in the form of the “Powerful,” two stroke, two cylinder diesel engine that uses twincharging technology to boost efficiency.
Fel-Pro Diesel ML7 Head Gaskets
Sealing the most demanding area in an engine takes today’s most advanced gasket design. The ML7 design provides multi-layer-core head gasket technology that significantly improves combustion and fluid-sealing capabilities, and heat resistance for a broad range of high-output commercial diesel engines.
VW’s New 2.0 Liter Diesel Four Sets A New Benchmark For Performance And Technology
The magic number for engines in today’s day and age seems to be 2.0. Whether its Jaguar Land Rover’s newest line of four cylinder “Ingenium” gasoline and diesel engines, or the 400 horsepower Volvo four we detailed a couple of months back, the prevailing mantra of the industry seems to be ‘smaller, yet more powerful.’
Internal Affairs – Diesel Crankshafts and Rods
Despite having similar appearances, a diesel crankshaft has some primary differences from its gasoline counterparts. A gasoline engine uses a spark to ignite the fuel. A diesel engine, operating at a much higher compression ratio, uses the heat produced by compression to ignite the fuel. Diesel engines typically have a longer stroke than the bore diameter, so to handle this load, diesel crankshafts are much larger physically.
National Biodiesel Conference and Expo
January 19-22, 2015 is when you need to be in Fort Worth, Texas. The National Biodiesel Conference and Expo is your chance to learn about the latest technical developments in the biodiesel industry, listen to industry leaders as they share insights, participate in candid discussions about biodiesel challenges, and gain a broad perspective on current state legislation and regulations impacting biodiesel.
Liqui Moly’s Diesel Particulate Filter Protector
This fuel additive protects diesel particulate filters from clogging up prematurely. This happens particularly when cars are used for frequent short trips. With LIQUI MOLY’s Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner workshops can free up the filter quickly, simply and effectively.
The Origin of ‘Coal Rolling’ and the Story of Diesel’s Evolution
The diesel engine replaced steam engines that were being used in locomotives and ships. The diesel engine also became widely known for its use in submarines, stationary power plants and trucks. In the last 100 years, the diesel engine is credited as the modern day workhorse, as there is an abundance of high torque at low RPM.
Cummins 6.7L Turbo Diesel, First to Meet 2015 Emissions Regulations
Cummins Inc. announced that it has received certification for its 6.7L Turbo Diesel from the California Air Resources Board (CARB), meeting the Low-Emission Vehicle III (LEV III) standards.
Wiseco Diesel Pistons
Wiseco, a high-performance piston maker established in 1941, is launching a new range of diesel pistons for Dodge Cummins, GM Duramax and Ford Power Stroke engines.
