think being diesel mechanic will be a great job opportunity for me. I will have to go to college and get certified to be a good diesel mechanic and make sure I learn everything I need to know before I go off on my own. I’ll start off by working in a shop for somebody and then eventually go off and open up my own shop and be my own boss. I’m ready to get my hands dirty and get ready for my great upcoming career. Diesel mechanics can inspect‚ keep up to date on everything‚ and repair diesel engines for

Gasoline vs. Diesel You’re in the market for a new truck; you have an idea about what you want but not quite sure if you want a gasoline or a diesel engine. Well‚ gas and diesel engines are very similar yet different in quite a few ways. At first glance‚ someone who doesn’t know much about either of the two engines might ask‚ “What’s the difference?” To the untrained eye they might look exactly alike‚ but don’t judge the engine by its exterior look. Gas engines are mainly used by the individual

Let’s start with the basics. Aside from additives such as ethanol‚ which is made from corn‚ the gasoline and diesel fuel commonly used today derive from the same source--crude oil. Although they share the same parentage (just like motor oil‚ some plastics‚ and Velveeta)‚ they have very different properties. Gasoline is often thought of as being a single chemical‚ but it’s actually a complex mixture of hydrocarbons that generally have 4 to 12 carbon atoms in their molecules. In the case of gasoline

Inside this Article Diesel Fuel Injection One big difference between a diesel engine and a gas engine is in the injection process. Most car engines use port injection or a carburetor. A port injection system injects fuel just prior to the intake stroke (outside the cylinder). A carburetor mixes air and fuel long before the air enters the cylinder. In a car engine‚ therefore‚ all of the fuel is loaded into the cylinder during the intake stroke and then compressed. The compression of the fuel/air

A diesel mechanic is a special type of mechanic that has a decent salary. Becoming a Diesel Mechanic is a great idea because of the decent salary and the days you have off. A diesel mechanic is a special mechanic that works on heavier equipment than normal. Usually work on semis‚ trains‚ buses‚ or regular diesel trucks. Diesel mechanics is one of the higher paid mechanics because of the vehicles they have to work on. A diesel mechanic also works in a shop most of the time innless they have a job

. How Do Diesel Engines Work? The basic difference between a diesel engine and a gasoline engine is that in a diesel engine‚ the fuel is sprayed into the combustion chambers through fuel injector nozzles just when the air in each chamber has been placed under such great pressure that it’s hot enough to ignite the fuel spontaneously. Following is a step-by-step view of what happens when you start up a diesel-powered vehicle. 1. You turn the key in the ignition. Then you wait until the engine

manner compared to overhead valves (OHV) and pushrods. Function-It carries inlet and exhaust valve. Fresh charge is admitted through inlet valve and burnt gases are exhausted from exhaust valve. In case of petrol engine‚ a spark plug and in case of diesel engine‚ an injector is also mounted on cylinder head. 3. CONNECTING ROD- The load on the piston due to combustion of fuel in the combustion chamber is transmitted to crankshaft through the connecting rod. EX: Compound Rods- Many-cylinder multi-bank

Diesel Power Plant Figure shows the arrangements of the engine and its auxiliaries in a diesel power plant. The major components of the plant are: a) Engine Engine is the heart of a diesel power plant. Engine is directly connected through a gear box to the generator. Generally two-stroke engines are used for power generation. Now a days‚ advanced super & turbo charged high speed engines are available for power production. b) Air supply system Air inlet is arranged outside

laws.” A diesel mechanic specializes in repairing and maintain diesel engines. Diesel engines are used in vehicles from trains to ships to buses and trucks. Not only does a diesel mechanic use the basic tools of the mechanic’s trade such as screwdrivers‚ wrenches and drills‚ but they use more advanced equipment like dynamometers. Diesel mechanics typical maintenance task include cleaning filters to keep the engine running properly and rebuilding the engine every hundred thousand miles. Diesel mechanics

II. MECHANICAL STRUCTURE Both being internal combustion type diesel and gasoline engines can be considered as similar. Simply‚ both engines converts chemical energy into mechanical one by burning fuel. In combustion engines the combustion (explosion of fuel) occurs at combustion chamber with ‚ generally‚ help of oxidizer (air‚ another fluid‚ etc.). The output‚ high heat and pressure of the burning process is transfered to other components of the engines which expose pressure as a mechanical energy
