I guess with all the information you give us in your videos, we could all start to study engineering :D
at least young guys will be motivated. You are a german as I am. We have like a buckload of serious maths test and stupid economics as well.

Great vid man
You must be a karter. That is a Clone (or Chonda depending on where you live) do you run dirt track or sprints?
One thing you could add is the reason diesels tend to make more torque and get better fuel economy. The big reason for this is that diesel burns slower and sometimes the injectors will actually fire multiple times to essentially keep pushing the piston down whereas a gas has a quick combustion and then it’s over. This allows you to make more torque while having a higher thermal efficiency.
AFAIK injectors fire multiple times to reduce noise and vibration, not to keep pushing the piston down. The higher torque also had something to do with the higher energy density of diesel and the insanely high compression resulting in better efficiency or something.
But then again, I could be wrong. I’m no engineer after all… yet…
Heyyy thats a nice honda GX160
So what governs the amount of diesel fuel that gets injected, what I mean is, what is my accelerator pedal connected to? How does that system work, I understand petrol (gas) engines but just bought a diesel and didn’t even realise that it doesn’t have a throttle body… 🤔🤔
It’s connected to a resistor, which in turn detects how much throttle your using and corrects the amount of diesel that’s injected the cylinder.

Nice video man keep up the good work !
Thanks!

Difference Number 5 - Diesels are cooler
Diesels also love NOS and handle it better.
Nope.
