GTL Diesel has a very high cetane number of around 80. European Diesel has 51 and American around 40 . It's the opposite of octane. It tells you how easy it is for the fuel to ignite under compression and how fast it ignites. So expect your engine to be very noisy as the fuel burns quicker and therefore there's more energy in that single point, which originally makes your diesel sound the way it is. Another advantages are, it has a very low cloud point, just put a real 100% synthetic engine oil into the freezer, it'll stay clear, while the typical. ,,full synthetic" Hydrocrack oils will cloud. Moreover GTL is absolutely sulfur free and it has no smell to it at all. Smells like clean water.
Kohler sells that engine on a portable generator package, we have 2 off them in our shop. Hook up various wattage bulbs and load best all day long on various fuels
This is propably the easiest way to measure it. You could even use/make some adjustable resistor. The best thing with electricity is that it's very easy to measure power if you know what you are doing. I don't trust that brake-dano too much.
I had to laugh, you take something as mundane and ordinary as starting up an engine and through the power of videography turn it into a cool production. Have fun with your new toy..... Now go turbocharge it!
Thanks so much, over the top is actually what I do well, I've been really watering things down for the past couple of years to make them TH-cam compatible, but recently going against my genuine style has turned out to be twice the work as if I just do it the way I normally would. I decided to do it this way for the next few episodes and see how people like it. It sounds weird but it's really a struggle for me to make things TH-cam compatible if that makes any sense. I can make a movie with my eyes closed but making a TH-cam video has been tricking my sense and my sould for too long now.
@@WarpedYT Not being a videographer I'm not 100% sure what YT compatible means (other than "politically correct/neutered) But I'd love to see your work "unleashed"!!!
@@Leonardokite lol... Nah I'm not about politics.. you said it very we'll "unleashed" that's what I meant by TH-cam compatible. Like the way I really want to do it is over the top but that's not what is mostly on TH-cam, I'm going to try it out for the next few videos and see how it does...
Probably not a good idea to remove the heat shield over the cylinder's fins (4:34) as those usually direct the airflow around the cylinder to cool it evenly.
For the load testing, you might consider hooking up a generator and some electric heaters to act as a load. You might get more consistent loading, than using a disk brake.
The brake is fine as a load, the main idea is loading the engine up until it slows down. So the more powerful fuel will resist slowing better and generate more stain on the meter while doing so.
When you pipe in the turbo. On the intake outlet Add a 1/4 " port and connect LP. Liquid propane. When you do your runs use a small amount of LP and see how much more power you get. I bet you get a big increase in power. Be careful not to use to much LP
Anthony Fasano I’m pretty sure it will detonate if you inject it at the turbo. Best bet is liquid injection right in the inlet port.... like DPFI. But even then it might still detonate. I think you’d be better off injecting something in the exhaust (pre turbo) to help it spool and make some proper boost.
@@mareksumguy1887 nothing in the exhaust side. And if you want to make more spool use nitrogen on the exhaust side. To increase the volume and pressure Vapor nitrogen they sell and Heating and Cooling Supply House 80 cubic foot cylinder will cost you about $175 end to fill it will cost you about 22 and a nitrogen regulator cost you about $45 and an 80 cubic foot cylinder wig last probably three or four runs on the dyno
"The only thing I was missing was the company that made a single cylinder diesel engine..." You mean other than: Honda Kubota Yanmar Lombardini Enfield Deutz Hatz DMB Nissan and 67 Chinese consumer brands...
Well I meant a Single cylinder diesel engine that I wouldn't be scared of when pushing it to it's limits and nobody was going to get hurt by. Other than that you just gave me a really good idea.
@@WarpedYT There's 2 ways to get hurt by a diesel engine. Drop it on your foot. Stick a hand in the drive shaft that its powering or heated parts. Well there's a no 3 for the Americans: Realising its a superior design to gasoline engine. :)
DexMaster881 The cost to manufacture and cost of parts are purely the result of economies of scale, thanks to US manufacturers dragging their feet on diesel in the US. The superior thermal efficiency, fuel flexibility, longevity, reduced fuel consumption and reliability of Diesel engines should mean they cost less to operate long term on anything larger than a leaf blower 😂. Silly overheating, asthmatic, fuel guzzling gassers and their precision recreational fuel are all the Union workers want to have to manufacture so that’s what we’re stuck with.
@@dregenius "The cost to manufacture and cost of parts are purely the result of economies of scale..." - Not even remotely true. The diesel combustion cycle requires stronger engine components, which are more expensive to produce. Diesels also require turbocharging to be practical in modern vehicles, that's an additional cost. Diesels require direct injection which is more expensive than the port injection that many gasoline engines make use of. The emissions control systems are also vastly more expensive, complex and maintenance intensive for diesels. - Longevity is purely a result of design and modern diesels begin to have so many problems with their complex fuel, induction and emissions systems as they age that their longevity is no longer superior to that of gasoline engines. - Gasoline engines are superior to diesels in every way that matters. Just a few examples: - Chevy Cruze (gasoline): 153 hp; CO2/mile 277g; annual fuel cost $1,050; EPA smog rating (out of 10) - 6. - Chevy Cruze (diesel): 137 hp; CO2/mile 294g; annual fuel cost $1,200; EPA smog rating (out of 10) - 3. - Mazda CX-5 (gasoline): 187 hp; CO2/mile 335g; annual fuel cost $1,300; EPA smog rating (out of 10) - 7. - Mazda CX-5 (diesel): 173 hp; CO2/mile 365g; annual fuel cost $1,600; EPA smog rating (out of 10) - 1. - Honda Accord Hybrid (gasoline): 212 hp; CO2/mile 184g; annual fuel cost $700; EPA smog rating (out of 10) - 7. - Prius (gasoline): 121 hp; CO2/mile 170g; annual fuel cost $650; EPA smog rating (out of 10) - 7. - Trucks... - Ford F-150 2.7 EcoBoost (gasoline): 325 hp; CO2/mile 423g; annual fuel cost $1,600; EPA smog rating (out of 10) - 5. - Compare to... - Ford F-150 3.0 Power Stroke (diesel): 250 hp; CO2/mile 463g; annual fuel cost $2,000; EPA smog rating (out of 10) - 1. - Ram 1500 3.0 EcoDiesel (diesel): 240 hp; CO2/mile 448g; annual fuel cost $2,000; EPA smog rating (out of 10) - 1.
You know, I absolutely totally forgot that. It was literally in my editing notes and since I was working on this edit till 4 in the morning I was really tired and I forgot to put that flash card in there. Holy crap I can't believe I forgot that.
@@WarpedYT imgur.com/a/jPd4vwp I wondered why the EGT temp was so different in HyD, is there any mistake? All the rest are pretty similar. The time marks in the description were useful BTW
That's an amazing good engine for its intended purposes, and I guess it is the best shot for this experiment. Kohler bought Lombardini to have a diesel line of engines. Lombardinis were great machines! I have one from the 70s and still going strong! (it's a water pump)
Very informative. I love how you got the overhead high speed cam spinning around the running engine so fast. And starting the engine at the same time. Took some serious planning.
That was a cool chat thing. Couldn't get my comments in before it ended though. I already knew the biodiesel would produce slightly less power, but was surprised by the hydrodiesel results.
Thanks, let me know if you think I should do a premier like that again? Or just a normal video post. But yeah the Hydra diesel was very surprising, I mean technically it should have 20% less energy then regular diesel simply because it's mixed with 20% water. But overall it was pretty impressive and very interesting.
@@WarpedYT Definitely do more of those, but maybe a heads-up announcement a day or 2 prior? I didn't know it was happening until I clicked on it in my feed. Maybe the water in the hydro provides an overall cooling effect on the combustion process similar to a water/meth injection system? Just conjecture of course. It surprised me, for sure. Makes me wonder if it's also more fuel efficient.
The water turns to steam, steam power, right? At 15 to 1 compression it turns to steam damn fast, and expands just as fast .... if i have my diesel engine knowledge right.
I would like to see you run other fuels that aren't commonly thought of and see the results as well. Some of those include ATF, used motor oil, used vegetable oil, hydraulic oil, power steering oil, etc as I run these in my diesel generator all the time. It would also be pretty cool to see the engine tested on what it was originally invented to run on: Peanut oil.
Kleetus92 they was indeed and maybe cleaner than people thought as you said the emission control system they’ve overloaded with them now I think they made it worse pollution wise... when the engine starts getting a bit older all the emission systems get blocked and chokes it up resulting in even worse emissions than they originally would of had anyway
Indeed! Waste veggie oil runs great, as well as waste engine oil and even Jet-A. All will run great without damaging the engine. I have been running them for years without problems.
Doesn't matter, the point is to compare temperatures in different conditions. He isn't measuring for the sake of saying "this engine runs too hot/cold"
@@WarpedYT I'm sure you realize already... Just pointing out to the public... Removing an airflow director on an air cooled engine can dramatically change the operating characteristics of that engine. Literally anything from no change to engine death depending on multiple variables. Definitely looking forward to seeing what you do with this project!
@LICKHER&STICKHERINTHEPINK &OTHERPLACES it seems you are the only one being ignorant here ... I see nothing wrong with mentioning it (shield removal) & the replies, people like you really need to ask themselves if this is the way they would speak face-to-face with someone... civil behaviour costs nothing & is a nice thing... 🙄😔
The hard part with this is that the Chinese Diesel engines use a diaphragm pump that’s triggered by either the cam or the crankshaft. So it’ll depend on what the Koehler uses for a fuel pump. I don’t know enough about diesels to tell you what kind of (bare minimum) fuel pump you’d be looking for though
@@Talibooboo Hopefully the injection pump is based off a chain system so that it's changeable. He could also mess with the pop pressure of the injector to change the timing up.
Exhaust gas temperature on any engine increases with increasing load.Thats why many engines have a get guage so as not to overload the engine and decrease it's service life.
I was hoping to see if off road only fuel used for comparison as well. However, never disappointed with your content and happy to see growth and professional development. Very nice.
Curious why they're hard to get started? I got a somewhat rare (for the US) FB markerplace find of a 3.3hp water (hopper) cooled horizontal single cylinder Chinese "Chang Fa" style engine the other day, and the previous owner claimed he only ran it for a few minutes then let it sit ever since. Tag says manufactured in 2005. Other than having to pull the fuel pump and work it by hand to get it unstuck, it started after a few cranking attempts after fixing the fuel issue. Hand crank (not recoil) start, using compression release. Seems like a pretty durable unit.
@@gideonkloosterman it’s a diesel horizontal Chinese R165 engine with hand crank start, rated for 3.3 or 3.4hp. I was starting it when it was maybe 60-70 degrees F out at the time so it’s possible it was easy due to that. I’ll find out soon enough how it works in the cold as it’s now getting pretty cold where I am. In January-February it can get down to about 0 F outside (at the lowest) even though I’ve been storing the engine in my basement which gets down to around 45-50 F in the coldest of winter. I recently ordered a 3kw permanent magnet alternator I plan to belt to the engine to experiment with building a homemade inverter generator, as I wanted something I can run off heating fuel. From what I understand, the smaller horizontal Chinese diesels use swirl chamber indirect injection while the larger (maybe 8 hp+) use direct injection as well as the counter-balance shaft.
For fuel comparison to be really interesting a couple of figures was missing: Fuel consumption and emissions (esp NOx, HC's and as you mentioned particles). Sadly those probably require some expensive equipment.
Yes, I was supposed to include that in this video, but I wanted to keep it as more of an introduction to the diesel engine in particular. I wanted to see what people thought what people had to say and what types of ideas people have before going through all the trouble.
@@WarpedYT I think there is an easy way around the particulate question... if you set up a camera to watch the exhaust with an illuminated, bright white, background, you should be able to see a relative comparison in exhaust properties. Trying to measure fuel consumption will be more difficult because it is a recirculating fuel system, best bet it to put the motor under a constant load, and put X quantity of each fuel in it, and see how long it runs for. Great video though, looking forward to seeing this series!
@@kleetus92 Another way that is often used is to place a white piece of cloth over the exhaust for a certain number of seconds while running under a specific load (typically wide open, at governed speed). You then compare how dark the white cloth becomes. I can't remember the exact spec but one of our old farm tractors even had images in the shop manual you were supposed to compare your "white cloth" to.
I think a NOx and particle test between the different fuels would've been very cool! Or a test like this between Diesel and gasoline (per amount of fuel burnt). Very interesting!
the first time I saw a 6 cylinder diesel on a dyno at Mac Boring gave me new respect for this type of ICE. The sound was commanding. The diesel engine is pretty bad ass.
Thank you wait till you see the second one, I made a decision like a month ago just to start doing things right and doing what I'm good at, and that is over the top. For the last couple years I've really been watering down my episodes to make them TH-cam compatible, but that's actually more work than just doing it the way that I normally would if I wasn't taking TH-cam into consideration. I definitely appreciate the feedback and don't hesitate to give me more feedback in the future.
Warped Perception that is awesome man, with everything going on it really matters seeing good content, a lot of people have been stepping up and I’m glad your channels is one of them. Theres nothing worst then getting watered down videos so I’m glad you are taking the time to fill them with the best you have to offer.
damn the youtube algorithms for not showing this on my home page even though i’m subscribed and watch almost every video! oh well, now i know to occasionally search all my subscriptions. thanks for another great and interesting video!
My grandfather used to tell me that they would add around %10 gasoline to diesel to increase the freezing point of it and he was adamant that it also increased the performance. I'd love it if you can try that. Another video would be to find out whether cetane boosters increase the performance. Running it on vegetable oil Nitrous injection Meth injection Nitrous injection + turbo + see-through engine would be ultra cool. Spraying oxygen through the intake while the engine is running to increase the concentration and measure power difference. these are just off the top my head. Great video!
Dude. That is a cool little engine. I think i'm gonna buy one myself and make a diesel gocart or something. Almost 9 horses on that wierd hydro stuff isn't bad at all for a small non turbo diesel.
The excessive weight of the thing will destroy a gocart frame. You want a beast? Build one with a Rotax 503 engine 50 HP and it is lighter and smaller than that Engine!
I had a Chinese 10hp single piston Diesel engine for about 5 years...when I first got it I ran it for a couple of hours on Diesel fuel... then 100% Veggie oil for the next 5 years...ran great with very little smoke and always started right up... Did blow the head gasket about 4 years in...easy fix. It was hooked up to a 10,000 watt Harbor Freight generator head on a small trailer.
@@Brettjnash diesel engines are heavy, they vibrate a lot, they have more torque but low rpm, totally opposite of what motorcycles need. Diesels with same displacement have way less horsepower than petrol engines
4 ปีที่แล้ว
Wow a Kohler? Now that's a proper commercial engine.. Great choice, and execution! = )
@@Handyman1199 Hatz makes them. I installed a few dozen into remote hydraulic power packs on Aebi Schmidt equipment. Hatz by far are clearly superior to anything from Kohler, Briggs, domestic USA etc. not sure about Yanmar but hear they make some great stuff too. I would find a used forklift with the size engine you need for a cheap Donor engine, transaxle :). Then sell the leftover forklift for scrap, or parts...maybe profit even.
I am amazed by the quality of these videos. Glad to see a 1 cylinder diesel engine too, didn't even know that was a thing! I would have thought it would have much more torque than that.
Yeah, none of them want to do that because of the methanes and heavy metals as well. There are lots of items that aren't reported in what you really start with and what exists.
I read through several of the comments. I can't believe that awful cable wrap in the hoist camera shot didn't bother anyone elses OCD. I noticed instantly. Lol! Great video though. Enjoyed it. I love anything Diesel and was interested the hydrodiesel made so much power. One thing to add at the end would be a chart comparing all the results. I was waiting for that and it never came. But I still liked it. Great content!
That 'hydrodiesel' is interesting stuff. It seems to produce the same power or even a little better than regular diesel, but with higher EGT's and lower head and block temps. I'll have to research that a bit and see what's in it.😉 In retrospect, methanol/water injection will make it run a lot better with reduced emissions and lower EGT's.
That.... is..... AWESOME!! I want one of those on my lawnmower! I agree with Leonardokite below that watching you take a mundane starting experience and turning it into a cool production really made me smile. THANK YOU, KOHLER! That is a SWEET running engine! I sure look forward to the future videos of this engine! The 253 thumbs down are gasoline engine manufacturers and retailers!
I've never seen hydro diesel before. I also don't drive any diesel vehicles so that's probably why. Pretty amazing an engine will run on milk, lol. (yes, I know its not milk)
Dude, your shots were insane! I can definitely tell a LOT of effort went into preparation for even just the cinematic shots. And god the editing would've took so long. It definitely shows though!! Even the audio made this feel like a damn movie. A+ I thought this was going to be a 2 minute teaser because of how good the shots were, but you kept on going!
Ha! Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it. To be honest that's actually what I'm really good at, the struggle I've had for the last 2 years is trying to make my videos TH-cam compatible. However I decided this year just to do what I do best and that is movie making, the toughest part is to combine reality with cinematics. Recently I have decided to hell with it I'm going to do it my style from now on. I'm very happy to see that you like it
@@WarpedYT absolutely! I feel like you've definitely hit that perfect mix between the two though. Have you done any blogs or Q&A's that go over your history?
Would have been nice if there were a 4th fuel test. Propane.. That little diesel could make a great Off-Grid motor Propane might make it superior for long term storage and cold temperatures
I'm a true fan of Kohler as their engines are very well made. I use a KD 15-225 for a small generator in a remote barn shed. Never had a single issue with it.
@@NoName-yr1jv Now Kohler manufacture this engine in China. Lets hope they've got a big whip to make sure quality control is adhered to. These engines suffer from balancer shaft failure when run at 3600rpm (one of the models is factory set at this rpm) Other than that a good little engine:)
@@joshuaolsen8844 Maybe in your region you still get Italian made ones but about 2 years ago the gasoline engines started production in China with pretty bad mortality rates. The single cylinder diesels close to that time started to come back under warranty more often too. It's not uncommon to run parallel production lines for different geographical regions. But I'm sure you know that :)
Woha! What a color! On the fuel! In Sweden, the normal fossil diesel is like almost clear (but it also is like the cleanest diesel you can find on the market in the world), and HVO (hydro diesel) is also clear. Almost like water. Either you have diesel that they have put color in, or it's a biodiesel (RME) in both samples. And the hydrodiesel seems to be partly hydrated.
@@WarpedYT yeah GTL is really clean in my experience, with normal diesel I always had a diesel smell and with GTL I don't smell it anymore. But I also hear it decreases power so I'm really interested in seeing GTL specifically!
Maybe you will make an electrical dyno, and measure the energy comming out instead of the brake wobling thing..? Thanks for a lovely programme, i really like your stuff
His dyno works totally fine for these "garage" comparisons. We aren't in a laboratory, we're comparing between fuels and modifications... if he sticks with the same setup then we can see what changes, it doesn't need to be down to the .01% accuracy, or comply with standards.
Using the same dyno keeps the results constant across different engines. But I agree, and electrical dynamometer would make things so easy, once it's built the tests would be near effortless to run.
Awesome vid. I am excited to see more on Hydrodiesel. For future comparison type vids it would be great to have a slide with side-by-sides to save from having to search back through the vid.
how are you going to make a clear head when it’s an overhead valve engine? that seems like a ton of work to machine a head out of acrylic with the whole top valve train in it. how else can you do it?
I find it interesting that the hydro diesel produced higher HP, but maintained lower head temps (even with higher EGT). Was there a reason that the regular and bio diesel RPMs were 2800 and the hydro diesel was 2900 RPMs?
I was also very surprised, I'm not sure exactly what's going on but I'm going to dig further into it later, as for the RPMs I'm not really sure but it was really tough for me to bring the RPMs to 2800 like I did with the other two fuels. For some reason I wanted to stay at a higher RPM and didn't settle in like the other two.
@@WarpedYT Normally in a "typical" TH-cam Test/Break/Compare Channel I would be quite bored on further talking through the results, but in this exceptional case of video, I was quite surprised about the ending, as the different dyno results were quite amazing.
Actually this is making the measurements differ from each other. Increased RPM increases horsepower. The "regular diesel" test run resulted in 8.5hp @ 2800RPM And the "hydro diesel" test run gave 8.83hp @ 2900RPM. If you would've increased the RPM to 2900 with the "regular diesel" you would've got around 8.80hp. Here's the equation: 8.5hp divided by 2800rpm = 0.0030357143. 0.0030357143 * 2900rpm = 8.80357147 hp. You can also do it the other way around: 8.83hp divided by 2900 = 0.0030448276. 0.0030448276 * 2800 = 8.52551728hp So "regular diesel" would theoretically give 8.803hp @2900RPM And "hydro diesel" would've theoretically given 8.525hp @2800RPM You can't do a test with different RPMs and think it doesn't affect horsepower, ask any professional dyno shop.
If you could measure the particulate coming out of the exhaust in the future that would be most interesting given the times we now live in and how diesel has become a dirty word in the motor industry,thanks for taken the time to make these videos.
@@WarpedYT No probz - excellent quality video and setup and graphics I felt bad mentioning it, but just thought it needed that final touch! We r all learning as we go on..!!! Keep up the good work.
Looking on KOHLER’s site and it is now OFFICIALY MY MOST FAVORITE COMPANY EVEEEER!!!! I do wish they shipped the engines themselves straight to you ;-;
Kohler are not the only one-cylinder-diesel manufacturers. Another company, for example, is Lombardini. There are more .. This video is very informative. I have a diesel bike that runs with 100 miles per gallon. This video encourages me to do tests with different fuel. Once, for testing, I used vegetable oil. The sound was a bit more meaty, and the power was increased.
If you want to run it well with the turbo, you need a "boost tank" between the turbo and the intake into the engine. In a 4-stroke single cylinder, it's only pulling in air 25% of the time, the rest of the time, the turbo fights against a wall and will stall, the reserve tank allows it to build a little boost between the intake strokes without stalling so much. That way it'll have boost ready for the next intake stroke, then the resulting extra exhaust gasses spool the turbo more, creating more boost, and so on, until the turbo can't provide any more boost.
@@noidontthinksolol that's another way of doing it sure, doesn't mean the reservoir doesn't work, it worked well for me on a 212. Gave it much more pull. Saved me spending money on a BoV when i had spare tubing laying around. I supposed a BoV does protect it from overboosting and blowing the head off or something, but then again, it's not like it's a 900bhp chevvy lol, just a bunch of cheap second hand parts on a second hand go-kart frame. Bit of fun :D
@@noidontthinksolol old stuff is way more fun, throw some stuff together, let it rip, have fun, it blows up spectacularly? even more fun! then go buy another haha

For the load testing, you might consider hooking up a generator and some electric heaters to act as a load. You might get more consistent loading, than using a disk brake.
How would having more variables create more consistency?
The brake is fine as a load, the main idea is loading the engine up until it slows down. So the more powerful fuel will resist slowing better and generate more stain on the meter while doing so.
Yup!: The dyno's resistance should be enough load to the Kohler engine

When you pipe in the turbo. On the intake outlet Add a 1/4 " port and connect LP. Liquid propane. When you do your runs use a small amount of LP and see how much more power you get. I bet you get a big increase in power. Be careful not to use to much LP
Nice !! We think alike
Anthony Fasano I’m pretty sure it will detonate if you inject it at the turbo. Best bet is liquid injection right in the inlet port.... like DPFI. But even then it might still detonate.
I think you’d be better off injecting something in the exhaust (pre turbo) to help it spool and make some proper boost.

Well I meant a Single cylinder diesel engine that I wouldn't be scared of when pushing it to it's limits and nobody was going to get hurt by. Other than that you just gave me a really good idea.
@@WarpedYT There's 2 ways to get hurt by a diesel engine.
Drop it on your foot.
Stick a hand in the drive shaft that its powering or heated parts.
Well there's a no 3 for the Americans: Realising its a superior design to gasoline engine. :)
DexMaster881 cost to build, cost of maintenance and parts, low Speed and HP, expensive emission compliance...
DexMaster881 The cost to manufacture and cost of parts are purely the result of economies of scale, thanks to US manufacturers dragging their feet on diesel in the US. The superior thermal efficiency, fuel flexibility, longevity, reduced fuel consumption and reliability of Diesel engines should mean they cost less to operate long term on anything larger than a leaf blower 😂. Silly overheating, asthmatic, fuel guzzling gassers and their precision recreational fuel are all the Union workers want to have to manufacture so that’s what we’re stuck with.
@@dregenius "The cost to manufacture and cost of parts are purely the result of economies of scale..."
-
Not even remotely true. The diesel combustion cycle requires stronger engine components, which are more expensive to produce. Diesels also require turbocharging to be practical in modern vehicles, that's an additional cost. Diesels require direct injection which is more expensive than the port injection that many gasoline engines make use of. The emissions control systems are also vastly more expensive, complex and maintenance intensive for diesels.
-
Longevity is purely a result of design and modern diesels begin to have so many problems with their complex fuel, induction and emissions systems as they age that their longevity is no longer superior to that of gasoline engines.
-
Gasoline engines are superior to diesels in every way that matters. Just a few examples:
-
Chevy Cruze (gasoline): 153 hp; CO2/mile 277g; annual fuel cost $1,050; EPA smog rating (out of 10) - 6.
-
Chevy Cruze (diesel): 137 hp; CO2/mile 294g; annual fuel cost $1,200; EPA smog rating (out of 10) - 3.
-
Mazda CX-5 (gasoline): 187 hp; CO2/mile 335g; annual fuel cost $1,300; EPA smog rating (out of 10) - 7.
-
Mazda CX-5 (diesel): 173 hp; CO2/mile 365g; annual fuel cost $1,600; EPA smog rating (out of 10) - 1.
-

-
Ford F-150 3.0 Power Stroke (diesel): 250 hp; CO2/mile 463g; annual fuel cost $2,000; EPA smog rating (out of 10) - 1.

That's an amazing good engine for its intended purposes, and I guess it is the best shot for this experiment. Kohler bought Lombardini to have a diesel line of engines. Lombardinis were great machines! I have one from the 70s and still going strong! (it's a water pump)
This was by far the best video I seen on youtube today!
Thank you, I should have made it a little bit longer but I think it got to the point.
Same
I normally don’t like music in videos like this. You have matched the music and cinematography perfectly.
I’m always amazed at how high quality this guys content is.
Nothing like low standards.
Very informative. I love how you got the overhead high speed cam spinning around the running engine so fast. And starting the engine at the same time. Took some serious planning.
That was a cool chat thing. Couldn't get my comments in before it ended though. I already knew the biodiesel would produce slightly less power, but was surprised by the hydrodiesel results.
Thanks, let me know if you think I should do a premier like that again? Or just a normal video post. But yeah the Hydra diesel was very surprising, I mean technically it should have 20% less energy then regular diesel simply because it's mixed with 20% water. But overall it was pretty impressive and very interesting.
@@WarpedYT Definitely do more of those, but maybe a heads-up announcement a day or 2 prior? I didn't know it was happening until I clicked on it in my feed.
Maybe the water in the hydro provides an overall cooling effect on the combustion process similar to a water/meth injection system? Just conjecture of course. It surprised me, for sure. Makes me wonder if it's also more fuel efficient.
The water turns to steam, steam power, right? At 15 to 1 compression it turns to steam damn fast, and expands just as fast .... if i have my diesel engine knowledge right.
I would like to see you run other fuels that aren't commonly thought of and see the results as well. Some of those include ATF, used motor oil, used vegetable oil, hydraulic oil, power steering oil, etc as I run these in my diesel generator all the time. It would also be pretty cool to see the engine tested on what it was originally invented to run on: Peanut oil.
Diesels are quite amazing engines before the EPA got a hold of them and turned them into overcomplicated garbage.
Kleetus92 they was indeed and maybe cleaner than people thought as you said the emission control system they’ve overloaded with them now I think they made it worse pollution wise... when the engine starts getting a bit older all the emission systems get blocked and chokes it up resulting in even worse emissions than they originally would of had anyway
Indeed! Waste veggie oil runs great, as well as waste engine oil and even Jet-A. All will run great without damaging the engine. I have been running them for years without problems.
Running stuff like dirty oil and atf will probably damage the injector system before the fuel savings become apparent
@@ghettobikelife8833 Nah. Just get a good fuel filter and you'll be fine.
Love the new editing style in this video! Your show is better then a lot of TV shows to me
I never even heard a diesel engine before
Thats pretty AWESOME!!
Those arn't heat shealds, they are air duct tins to cool the engine.
Well one of them is a heat shield the other one is a air director
@@WarpedYT ......
Doesn't matter, the point is to compare temperatures in different conditions. He isn't measuring for the sake of saying "this engine runs too hot/cold"
@@WarpedYT I'm sure you realize already... Just pointing out to the public... Removing an airflow director on an air cooled engine can dramatically change the operating characteristics of that engine. Literally anything from no change to engine death depending on multiple variables.
Definitely looking forward to seeing what you do with this project!
@LICKHER&STICKHERINTHEPINK &OTHERPLACES it seems you are the only one being ignorant here ... I see nothing wrong with mentioning it (shield removal) & the replies, people like you really need to ask themselves if this is the way they would speak face-to-face with someone... civil behaviour costs nothing & is a nice thing... 🙄😔
Man your videos are so good these days. Not that they ever were bad.... they are just soooo good now!
Would be nice to see the difference between different injection timing
I agree with this looking at the exhaust temperature, the timing is off for other fuels.
The hard part with this is that the Chinese Diesel engines use a diaphragm pump that’s triggered by either the cam or the crankshaft. So it’ll depend on what the Koehler uses for a fuel pump. I don’t know enough about diesels to tell you what kind of (bare minimum) fuel pump you’d be looking for though
@@Talibooboo Hopefully the injection pump is based off a chain system so that it's changeable. He could also mess with the pop pressure of the injector to change the timing up.
Exhaust gas temperature on any engine increases with increasing load.Thats why many engines have a get guage so as not to overload the engine and decrease it's service life.
I think the actual timing is controlled by shims ..
I was hoping to see if off road only fuel used for comparison as well. However, never disappointed with your content and happy to see growth and professional development. Very nice.
These engines are quite efficient in generators but such a pain to get started. Especially when you don't start them often.
It's even worse when you have owners who don't understand that the radiators need to breathe.
Curious why they're hard to get started? I got a somewhat rare (for the US) FB markerplace find of a 3.3hp water (hopper) cooled horizontal single cylinder Chinese "Chang Fa" style engine the other day, and the previous owner claimed he only ran it for a few minutes then let it sit ever since. Tag says manufactured in 2005. Other than having to pull the fuel pump and work it by hand to get it unstuck, it started after a few cranking attempts after fixing the fuel issue. Hand crank (not recoil) start, using compression release. Seems like a pretty durable unit.
@@MittyNuke1 does your engine run on gasoline or diesel?
@@gideonkloosterman it’s a diesel horizontal Chinese R165 engine with hand crank start, rated for 3.3 or 3.4hp. I was starting it when it was maybe 60-70 degrees F out at the time so it’s possible it was easy due to that. I’ll find out soon enough how it works in the cold as it’s now getting pretty cold where I am. In January-February it can get down to about 0 F outside (at the lowest) even though I’ve been storing the engine in my basement which gets down to around 45-50 F in the coldest of winter. I recently ordered a 3kw permanent magnet alternator I plan to belt to the engine to experiment with building a homemade inverter generator, as I wanted something I can run off heating fuel. From what I understand, the smaller horizontal Chinese diesels use swirl chamber indirect injection while the larger (maybe 8 hp+) use direct injection as well as the counter-balance shaft.
Top Notch content + Top Notch Videography
TH-cam channels like these are becoming rare
Thank you!
For fuel comparison to be really interesting a couple of figures was missing: Fuel consumption and emissions (esp NOx, HC's and as you mentioned particles). Sadly those probably require some expensive equipment.
Yes, I was supposed to include that in this video, but I wanted to keep it as more of an introduction to the diesel engine in particular. I wanted to see what people thought what people had to say and what types of ideas people have before going through all the trouble.
Quite understandable, I do hope you get around to it!
@@WarpedYT I think there is an easy way around the particulate question... if you set up a camera to watch the exhaust with an illuminated, bright white, background, you should be able to see a relative comparison in exhaust properties.
Trying to measure fuel consumption will be more difficult because it is a recirculating fuel system, best bet it to put the motor under a constant load, and put X quantity of each fuel in it, and see how long it runs for.
Great video though, looking forward to seeing this series!
@@kleetus92 Another way that is often used is to place a white piece of cloth over the exhaust for a certain number of seconds while running under a specific load (typically wide open, at governed speed). You then compare how dark the white cloth becomes. I can't remember the exact spec but one of our old farm tractors even had images in the shop manual you were supposed to compare your "white cloth" to.
I think a NOx and particle test between the different fuels would've been very cool!
Or a test like this between Diesel and gasoline (per amount of fuel burnt). Very interesting!
The level of production, just to get a startup shot is awesome! Bravo
Pretty interesting, I'll have to learn more about hydro diesel
the first time I saw a 6 cylinder diesel on a dyno at Mac Boring gave me new respect for this type of ICE. The sound was commanding. The diesel engine is pretty bad ass.

Thank you wait till you see the second one, I made a decision like a month ago just to start doing things right and doing what I'm good at, and that is over the top. For the last couple years I've really been watering down my episodes to make them TH-cam compatible, but that's actually more work than just doing it the way that I normally would if I wasn't taking TH-cam into consideration. I definitely appreciate the feedback and don't hesitate to give me more feedback in the future.

My grandfather used to tell me that they would add around %10 gasoline to diesel to increase the freezing point of it and he was adamant that it also increased the performance. I'd love it if you can try that.
Another video would be to find out whether cetane boosters increase the performance.
Running it on vegetable oil
Nitrous injection
Meth injection
Nitrous injection + turbo + see-through engine would be ultra cool.
Spraying oxygen through the intake while the engine is running to increase the concentration and measure power difference.

Dude. That is a cool little engine. I think i'm gonna buy one myself and make a diesel gocart or something. Almost 9 horses on that wierd hydro stuff isn't bad at all for a small non turbo diesel.
The excessive weight of the thing will destroy a gocart frame. You want a beast? Build one with a Rotax 503 engine 50 HP and it is lighter and smaller than that Engine!
Have run one of my motor homes on hydrodiesel and I can confirm that it makes a noticeable performance improvement. Good stuff.
Cant wait!! This going to be awesome!

Did blow the head gasket about 4 years in...easy fix. It was hooked up to a 10,000 watt Harbor Freight generator head on a small trailer.

That 'hydrodiesel' is interesting stuff. It seems to produce the same power or even a little better than regular diesel, but with higher EGT's and lower head and block temps. I'll have to research that a bit and see what's in it.😉 In retrospect, methanol/water injection will make it run a lot better with reduced emissions and lower EGT's.
While true you need to modify the intake system. Hydro diesel doesnt need that. Just pump and go on any diesel. And steam cleans exaust!

Propane might make it superior for long term storage and cold temperatures
I could be wrong. But I'm pretty sure that requires spark ignition. Propane, Natural gas, gasoline(petrol), are compatible with gas engines.

@@joshuaolsen8844 Maybe in your region you still get Italian made ones but about 2 years ago the gasoline engines started production in China with pretty bad mortality rates. The single cylinder diesels close to that time started to come back under warranty more often too.

Woha! What a color! On the fuel!
In Sweden, the normal fossil diesel is like almost clear (but it also is like the cleanest diesel you can find on the market in the world), and HVO (hydro diesel) is also clear. Almost like water. Either you have diesel that they have put color in, or it's a biodiesel (RME) in both samples. And the hydrodiesel seems to be partly hydrated.
Can you also try GTL diesel and vegetable oil as fuel? I use GTL in my boat engine and I would love to see how it compares in detail.
That is coming up in the next vid, I have a really really awesome test idea that I'm going to do in the next video using all sorts of different fuels.

@@WarpedYT yeah GTL is really clean in my experience, with normal diesel I always had a diesel smell and with GTL I don't smell it anymore. But I also hear it decreases power so I'm really interested in seeing GTL specifically!

Maybe you will make an electrical dyno, and measure the energy comming out instead of the brake wobling thing..? Thanks for a lovely programme, i really like your stuff
His dyno works totally fine for these "garage" comparisons. We aren't in a laboratory, we're comparing between fuels and modifications... if he sticks with the same setup then we can see what changes, it doesn't need to be down to the .01% accuracy, or comply with standards.
Using the same dyno keeps the results constant across different engines. But I agree, and electrical dynamometer would make things so easy, once it's built the tests would be near effortless to run.
Awesome vid. I am excited to see more on Hydrodiesel. For future comparison type vids it would be great to have a slide with side-by-sides to save from having to search back through the vid.
how are you going to make a clear head when it’s an overhead valve engine? that seems like a ton of work to machine a head out of acrylic with the whole top valve train in it. how else can you do it?

I find it interesting that the hydro diesel produced higher HP, but maintained lower head temps (even with higher EGT). Was there a reason that the regular and bio diesel RPMs were 2800 and the hydro diesel was 2900 RPMs?
I was also very surprised, I'm not sure exactly what's going on but I'm going to dig further into it later, as for the RPMs I'm not really sure but it was really tough for me to bring the RPMs to 2800 like I did with the other two fuels. For some reason I wanted to stay at a higher RPM and didn't settle in like the other two.
@@WarpedYT
Normally in a "typical" TH-cam Test/Break/Compare Channel I would be quite bored on further talking through the results, but in this exceptional case of video, I was quite surprised about the ending, as the different dyno results were quite amazing.
Actually this is making the measurements differ from each other. Increased RPM increases horsepower. The "regular diesel" test run resulted in 8.5hp @ 2800RPM
And the "hydro diesel" test run gave 8.83hp @ 2900RPM.
If you would've increased the RPM to 2900 with the "regular diesel" you would've got around 8.80hp. Here's the equation: 8.5hp divided by 2800rpm = 0.0030357143.
0.0030357143 * 2900rpm = 8.80357147 hp.
You can also do it the other way around:
8.83hp divided by 2900 = 0.0030448276.
0.0030448276 * 2800 = 8.52551728hp
So "regular diesel" would theoretically give 8.803hp @2900RPM
And "hydro diesel" would've theoretically given 8.525hp @2800RPM
You can't do a test with different RPMs and think it doesn't affect horsepower, ask any professional dyno shop.

Amazing video brother...(as a video creator I know that you did A LOT of work for this 10 min vid!)
God bless!
Found this channel last night! Im loving it.
Hydrodiesel was a cool thing to try. Hydrodiesel is an emulsified fuel, kinda like "diesel milk", it is white for the same reason milk is.
Kohler are not the only one-cylinder-diesel manufacturers. Another company, for example, is Lombardini. There are more ..
This video is very informative. I have a diesel bike that runs with 100 miles per gallon. This video encourages me to do tests with different fuel. Once, for testing, I used vegetable oil. The sound was a bit more meaty, and the power was increased.
I like your little compact dynamometer. It reminds me of the good old times where Prony dynamometeres were used. 😂
You fliming skills are getting better .... and the cool camera sweeps is awesome
I turbocharged my LD 702 in my Arctic Cat ATV. These are incredible motors!
I loved how they mentioned CarsandCameras’ Diesel engine and the damage to the flywheel
Sweet slow-mo!
If you want to run it well with the turbo, you need a "boost tank" between the turbo and the intake into the engine. In a 4-stroke single cylinder, it's only pulling in air 25% of the time, the rest of the time, the turbo fights against a wall and will stall, the reserve tank allows it to build a little boost between the intake strokes without stalling so much. That way it'll have boost ready for the next intake stroke, then the resulting extra exhaust gasses spool the turbo more, creating more boost, and so on, until the turbo can't provide any more boost.
Known as a plenum.
@@noidontthinksolol that's another way of doing it sure, doesn't mean the reservoir doesn't work, it worked well for me on a 212. Gave it much more pull. Saved me spending money on a BoV when i had spare tubing laying around. I supposed a BoV does protect it from overboosting and blowing the head off or something, but then again, it's not like it's a 900bhp chevvy lol, just a bunch of cheap second hand parts on a second hand go-kart frame. Bit of fun :D
@@noidontthinksolol old stuff is way more fun, throw some stuff together, let it rip, have fun, it blows up spectacularly? even more fun! then go buy another haha
The best channel on youtube regarding engines. Why so many subscribers?
I see you also have a high speed camera ring! That's awesome!!!
