  2. Background Info • Designed by Rudolf Diesel • Developed in 1890’s to improve engine efficiency • Gasoline engines were inefficient • Wide variety of uses and power

  3. Fuel: Diesel Temperature and pressure cause fuel to ignite Fuel and air are drawn in separately Provides more low end torque Better fuel economy Fuel: Gasoline Spark causes ignition Mixture of fuel and air is drawn in together Higher acceleration rates, generally higher horsepower Diesel VS Traditional
