Rudolf Diesel developed the engine technology that bears his name in the late 19th Century. Since then, diesel engines have become popular for their reliable and efficient operation and long life. Gasoline and diesel engines share a basic structure and set of operating principles, but higher compression ratios and diesel fuel’s higher energy capacity make diesel engines more efficient than their gas counterparts. This advantage is most significant in terms of torque output and at low RPMs, which makes
