Principles of Engine Operation
Basic Engine Requirements
For both gasoline engines and diesel engines the basic needs are the same; the
fundamental difference is with how we achieve them. Those basic needs, all at
the correct time and in the correct amounts, are as follows:
1. Fuel / Air
2. Compression
3. Fuel Injection/Power
4. Exhaust
Principles of Engine Operation
Differences Between Gasoline and Diesel Engines
Beginning with the fuel and air, the essential difference is that with a gasoline
engine, the fuel and air are mixed _____________they enter the engine's
combustion chamber.

Principles of Engine Operation
Differences Between Gasoline and Diesel Engines
A diesel engine uses super-high compression. It's basic physics that if air is
compressed in the combustion chamber, it will become hot enough—_________
°F (400°C) or more —to ignite atomized diesel fuel.
750°F (400°C)

Differences Between Gasoline and Diesel Engines
One of the big advantages with diesel is the elimination of the need for an
________________, and all the electrical or electronic components that go along
with it.

Differences Between Gasoline and Diesel Engines
The third cycle, called the fuel-injection cycle, is also called the power cycle, or
power stroke. In the case of a _______________ engine, this is the ignition stroke
gasoline fueled
Principles of Engine Operation
Differences Between Gasoline and Diesel Engines
Another primary difference between a gasoline-fueled engine and a diesel is that
on the intake stroke, a diesel is only bringing _____ into the cylinder, whereas on
a gasoline engine a ______ mixture is being brought into the cylinder.

Principles of Engine Operation
Differences Between Gasoline and Diesel Engines
A diesel engine will consume somewhere in the order of ____ or ____ times as
much air as a similarly sized gasoline-fueled engine.

cubic foot than hot air
Cooler
Principles of Engine Operation
Differences Between Gasoline and Diesel Engines
Larger diesel engine rooms will often have blower fans installed to force more air
into the area, sometimes thermostatically controlled to turn on at a preset
temperature.
