      Muhammad Hasham Ul Mulk okay muhammad, just tried it this morning and reporting in to let you know what happened.
      At first it tasted a little weird going down, burned a little, similar to alcohol but more of a harsh chemical after taste. it wasn't more than a minute later that my heart began pumping rather fast and my head felt very hot, i was already sitting down but felt i needed to lay down. then i started shaking a bit feeling cold after about 3 minutes. at about 4 or 5 minutes i began convulsively vomiting and dry heaving which lasted about an hour. still feeling cold and nauseated i couldn't eat or drink for the rest of the day. my stomach felt as if it was inside out and i have a major headache since the vomiting. anyway I'm going to go to sleep soon and try it again tomorrow, assuming this was probably just a bad reaction because my body wast used to diesel yet.

    Point of clarification (correct me if I am wrong). Modern gasoline engines use a fuel injector along with the spark plug, as opposed to diesel engines that only need a fuel injector (and heater glow plugs for cold starts). And of course, carburetors were used before injectors to mix the fuel with incoming air, also requiring a spark plug.

      GLOW PLUGS DO NOT HEAT THE AIR IN THE CYLINDER.. Glow plugs provide a direct ignition source for the atomized fuel

    • @doktorbimmer
      @doktorbimmer 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Glow plugs simple do not have the surface area required to heat the air and cannot heat the cylinder.. they literally ignite the fuel on contact with the incandescent surface temperature and allow reliable ignition until COMBUSTION heats the cylinder sufficiently to sustain ignition without the glow plug .

    • @doktorbimmer
      @doktorbimmer 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +teller of truth Every single engine equipped with a glow plug has the plugs bulb positioned so the fuel spray pattern impinges directly onto the hot surface... you won't find a single engine originally designed to use glow plugs without this distinguishing feature that is a direct result of how the system functions.

      +teller of truth We are talking about glow ignition engines you fool! You will never find an Diesel type engine (SCCI) designed to use glow plugs that does not have the plug positioned in the pre-combustion chamber or directly in the injector spray pattern.
      Please give an example of an engine that proves otherwise...

    • @lewisdoherty7621
      @lewisdoherty7621 9 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Learn Engineering You indicate that irregular combustion is causing the particulate matter. I had understood, that a higher rate of combustion in diesels is achieved overall - resulting in a higher Carbon Dioxide to Carbon Monoxide ratio. The more fully oxidized carbon means more power and less poisonous carbon monoxide. I assume this is the efficiency of compression. While some is not completely oxidized - creating soot, most is completely oxidized - creating more carbon-dioxide than carbon-monoxide. Is this correct? Although, you can't see the pollution in the gasoline engine, it is the carbon monoxide which is the danger. I think the carbon-monoxide problem is more of a pollution hazard than the particulate.
      While you can't mention everything in a video, one aspect of diesel is safety. I belong to an association that rebuilds and maintains antique railway equipment. Diesel is not prone to detonating or burning outside of its intended combustion chambers due to its flash points while gasoline is very dangerous in creating fires and explosions outside of the combustion chambers. When working with large volumes of the materials in industrial situations, it makes a difference. We have had fire problems with the gasoline pony motor that starts the diesel motor in the railway crane, but never in the diesel motors. At the beginning of Standard Oil, the chemists considered there was no safe consumer use for products in the gasoline volatility range.

      +Jemalacane0 If you do that, make sure to change anything in your fuel system that's made out of rubber to biodiesel-compatible rubber or to braided stainless steel - this mainly means the fuel hoses. Biodiesel has very strong solvent action, so it can eat the lining off fuel hoses and wash rubber into your fuel injectors. Also be sure to replace your fuel filter after each tank for the first three or four, because all the crap in your tank and lines will wind up in your filter.
      Also...biodiesel makes THE BEST parts cleaner in the world because it is such a good solvent.

      Glow plugs are used to help diesels start in cold weather. The high flash point makes them vulnerable in cold temperatures.

    • @doktorbimmer
      @doktorbimmer 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The glow plugs do in fact ignite the air/fuel mixture... the difference is they are only used on starting... not running.
      Of course glow plugs are redundant.. most Diesel engines don't have glow plugs

      VW also tried to meet the standards of their customers who expected a certain amount of power and mileage. They also met those.
      VW was off my a very small amount from the government numbers which themselves are a very small number. Did they cheat to make it seem they hit the numbers? Maybe, but then people don't want to pay the cost of the car if they did it completely above board as the government says.

    Im a little bit confused now, you say that a diesel uses a fuel injector instead of a spark plug... Does it not use a glow plug AND a fuel injector? The Glow plug taking place of a spark plug?
    Having a fuel injector in the combustion chamber is known as common rail/direct injection, you say gasoline engines MUST be premixed with air, yet it has been practice with the most efficient of gasoline 4 stroke engines over the last 20 years, and is more and more common today, to use common rail/direct injection fuel injection (with an injector and a spark plug in the combustion chamber just like the diesel) in gasoline engines. Sounds like some severely wrong information being given here.

    • @Lesics
      @Lesics  9 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Craig Kulig Even in 'direct injection' engines, the combustion does not happen due to the injection. It is just another method of making fuel-air mixture. To initiate the combustion the spark plug should be activated.

    • @yappinc
      @yappinc 9 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      No bro the glow plugs on a diesel are used in the initial starting of an IDI or indirect ignition diesel engine ie when its cold, think of the glow plug as like a miniature coil on your electric stove. So the glow plugs doesn't really ignite the fuel in the diesel like a spark plug in a gas. The glow plug heats up the cold cylinder to get the air hot in the diesel,because of its high flash point. Gas and air mix on intake stroke, diesel and air mix on Powerstroke.

    • @GusCowMiller
      @GusCowMiller 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Craig Kulig Glow plugs are a common form of an intake air preheat on indirect injection diesels, they only function when the intake/charge air or engine temperature is below a certain point to aid in combustion. Air heats up as it compresses, and the astronomical cylinder pressures created by the 16:1 and higher compression ratios found in diesel engines super heat the air uniformly throughout the combustion chamber, which is necessary to ignite the diesel, where as a spark plug is used in a gasoline engine because of the atomized fuel's higher volatility. Don't confuse common rail and direct injection as being the same thing, either. Common rail fuel systems are a relatively new technology utilizing electronic solenoid unit injectors for both direct and indirect injection engines. Direct injection has been around almost as long as diesel engines themselves. Unlike gasoline engines equipped with direct injection, diesel engines inject fuel just before top dead center on the compression stroke, that's why it's not uncommon to see dynamic injection pressures up to 6000 psi on pre-21st century engines, and over 30000 psi on modern common rail fuel systems.

    • @nathanberry8965
      @nathanberry8965 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Learn Engineering couldn't you run gasoline safely in a diesel if you retarted the injection timing to after tdc? Wouldn't diesel spontaniously combust in direct injection gasoline engines? especially since diesel stochiometric ratio is slightly lower than gasoline? how is diesel in gas engine safe but gas in diesel engine not safe if diesel engine is more durable than gas engine?

    • @KRAUSER0130
      @KRAUSER0130 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Craig Kulig No, direct gasoline injection is still not widely dispersed as you think it is, most of the time injector is located just in front of the intake valve, not directly in cylinder, or its done like central injection, single injector being in middle of intake manifold, but its less accurate and requires more fuel than individual injection (each cylinder has its own injector, but its located in front of valve)..Long story short, direct fuel injuection is copying of how diesel engine works and applying it to gasoline engine to make them more efficient, but it has its own downsides, such as valve erosion, requires more often cleaning and so on..

      +Slimane AISSAOUI Because diesel engines produce torque typically from about 2000 to 4000 RPM, while gas engines produce their torque in way higher revs. That's why the gas engine has more power. You want the power in a sports car.

      +HerkimerSnerd While the Audi R10 is very impressive for a Diesel powered car.. its performance for a 5.5 liter with 45psi of manifold pressure is not very impressive by modern racing standards.
      This is due to the fact that the R10 can only rev continuously up to 5,000 rpm.. it can only overrev for a maximum of 5 seconds before damage due to overheating the turbos occurs.. above 5,000 there is not enough combustion dwell to completely burn the fuel this is due to the limited injection timing and high rpms that all Diesel engines are limited by.. the flame speed limits the propagation of the air/fuel mixture

      +Ghost Each fuel type has its uses. Diesel is better for longer running and more torque driven applications, and gasoline is great for the racers and every day drivers. Diesel is louder because it is much higher pressure, and unless you get a Duramax Allison Chevy or a newer Ford, the engine will be loud.
