@@strobx1 Direct injection Diesel engines can have glowplugs. My car is DI and it has glowplugs. But I understand why railroads don't use them (one more complication to go wrong).
@@bartholomausallen883 Your engine has a prechamber that heats the air to the point where the fuel will ignite. All big diesel engines that I am away of do not have glow plugs.
White exhaust smoke in diesel engines is always a sign of increased moisture that evaporates. Or it is simply the water vapour produced during the combustion of hydrocarbons and condensed immediately under operating temperature on cold days.
@@disorderlyconduct6011 In the event of incomplete combustion in diesel engines, rust is produced. And this usually turns the smoke black. Therefore, white smoke cannot be incomplete combustion.
@@disorderlyconduct6011 So in my training as a car mechanic, I learned that black smoke in diesel indicates incomplete combustion. So it's different in America from the rest of the world.
It has to warm up first, or piston and cylinder damage will occur. Another to get it going more quickly is to turn it over with the fuel pump turned off to preheat the cylinders with the compression.
Nice work. We used to get these 1800s up in Havelock all the time back in the day
Havelock as in Lincoln Nebr
SUPER good Video👍Thumbs Up 👍Best Greetings😀
You can really hear the engine trying to say: Piss off, let me rest! With each stroke that doesnt fire.
Need one really big can of Cosby sauce 👍👍👌👌
Maybe GIO will be receiving the LDSX2001 (GP38)
Love diesel. Great shot of this start. Joe
I give u sub.
Is the white smoke water vapor?
No, it is unburned Diesel fuel. Also known as "cold smoke".
Got out the 'ol liquid glow plugs! :-)
They don't have glow plugs. Direct injection
@@strobx1 liquid = starting fluid

Looks like a DPF Toyota!
The Heavy Smoke is a Common Alco Thing
Throw some ether at it!
Was sind das für Haufen?

Um.. No not really.. Its incomplete combustion of the fuel.. That much moisture in that it would be locked up

Sad day
2 cans of happy juice and full fuel she would have fired first shot lol
Or been blown to smithereens?
@@MoonwolfeConsulting 🤣 nah .. Not if you know how to do it
