Great video! Do you happen to have a video about the EGR?
Wrong, wrong, wrong, so many things wrong with this post
First of all gasoline has a stoichiometric value of 14.7:1 and diesel is 16.9:1 that is to say that for every 1 gallon of fuel a gasoline engine must consume 14.7 gallons of air in order to have stoichiometric combustion and for a gallon of diesel an engine must consume 16.9 gallons of diesel in order to have stoichiometric combustion (we’re going to ignore the concepts of rbt and lbt [thats lean best torque and rich best torque] for the sake of this discussion) this is why diesel gallon for gallon is roughly 13% more fuel economic than gasoline (if we pay attention to lbt its actually about 32%) furthermore most diesel engines especially large diesels use incredibly long stroke engines which help to decrease overall wear on engines (so much so that semis actually use a form of plastic for engine bearings) but more importantly this also helps the diesel consume more fuel per ignition event but less ignition events per minute (that’s to say less rpm) this is more tq per ignition event…
