Hi EE, can you at some point go more into detail about how the injectors work and how they are actuated? Mechanically and Electronically? How fuel pressure is built up in non-Common Rail Diesels, older and newer systems and so on?

would be interesting if you could explain the different types of diesel engines like common rail, direct and indirect injection, mechanical and electronic injection ...

really loved the format. please do more of these hands on explanation

Could u make a video on why petrol and diesel vehicles make different horsepower, torque and fuel economy? Perhaps using a particular model that comes in both diesel and petrol could be a good one to use as an example for comparison. Would appreciate if you could touch on some mechanical components too as well, as to why you can't use a petrol in a diesel and vice versa. Thanks and keep up the awesome work.

Just a little more info you might find interesting, some of your newer truck injection pumps are actually capable of 24,000 to 29,000 psi on the newer light duty pick up trucks. If youre interested any more info on that let me know and I'll send you some links

You can also do a video on the duke engine, I would like to know how it works.

"and was performing oustandingly" no it wasn´t perfoming outstandingly.they weren´t that much better than bmw diesels (without common rail) and one year later bmw sold common rail diesel too and yes they were better than the alfa diesel (at the beginning,alfa updatet it)

Just a quick question; Diesel comes from the tank pumped by tank fuel pump through the fuel filter and stops at the high pressure fuel pump at engine bay next to the common rail, hence not getting to the common rail or injectors. What could be causing this? Car is BMW 530D E60, Fault code is 4B90 Rail pressure monitoring on engine start.

Please more diesel related videos

Can l change the coil of the injector? because l have a problem after replacing ml 270 cdi year 2000 injectors the original was 0445110035 and the new ones 0445110201, but the ECU not recognize them. So would it be a good idea to exchange just the electronic part of the injectors in order to make it work?

Bars is the term for barometric pressure? Where does the '15' come from. Our pressure here in Denver today is currently 29.94

I've never worked on the internals or seen the inside parts of a diesel engine so please educate me as I'm strictly knowledged in gas engines. Are diesel fuel injectors always that big? Those things were huge compared to all the gas engine fuel injectors I've seen and handled lol Or is the size of the injector dependant on the type of fuel injection, for example those were direct injection fuel injectors? I can't say I've ever handled direct injection on a gas or diesel engine so now I'm more curious

12,000 psi on a VW car and 23,500 psi on a Dodge 2500 5.9 liter Cummins a good reason to not mess around with high pressure fuel lines if you don't know what you're doing. Water jet cutters are 50,000 psi (and higher) but it shows just how dangerous a stray jet of fuel could be if it can cut steel.

can you retrofit a common rail system to an older diesel? like a Detroit diesel?

is pressure relief valve and pressure control valve same ?

Could you guys make a video explaining petrol fuel systems please?

Not saying you don't need them, just want to be sure I have not been missing something.

HumbleMechanic VW said that I have oil on top of my valve cover. They proceeded to tell me that I need to replace the valve cover and gasket along with my injector seals. Their reasoning for doing both was that they weren't sure where the leak was coming from, so they said both need to be done. Quote: $900 bucks. I said ef that, went over to myturbdiesel.com and found how to do it on my own, but I'm a little scared to mess with the injectors.

Diesel engine's compression ratio is related to efficiency and fuel consumption ?

Can you give a common rail diesel more power by fooling the boost pressure sensor

Great but you didn't explain how the power is modulated by the pedal.

@EngineeringExplained

8 жыл бұрын

Ahh, whoops! The pedal regulates how much fuel is injected (different from a gas engine, which opens a throttle and alters air). Dump more fuel, makes more power, brings in more air. Diesels have a wide range of effective air-fuel ratios, so power can be increased by changing this and bringing in more air.

@prashantpareek4586

8 жыл бұрын

+Stewart Robertson i think accelerator pedal position sensor sends the signal to ecu and also boost pressure sensor +rail pressure sensor sends a signal.if the pedal is pressed further than a high current is send to PRV (pressure regulator valve,in rail) initially which means high fuel quantity and if futher pedal is pressed completely the current send to PRV is minimized to lower the fuel quantity (so than we can get milage and horsepower both)

Please put some light on return and non return type fuel rails... thank you

Why three pumps? I can understand the low pressure pump in the tank to get the fuel to the engine and then the injector pump to really crank up the pressure for the injectors, but why the middle pump?

dual spark plug per cylinder engines, like Honda's idsi please. Why does the second spark has to be delayed at low rpms.

What is the difference between mercedies CDi vs VW TDi ??

I'm not sure if replacing of all this parts after misfueling was nesseary

Forgive me if I repeat myself but I thought I had posted an explanation but can't find it. The system shown is I believe called Pump Deux (or 2 pumps) a low pressure pump takes the fuel from the tank and feeds the high pressure pump which pressurises the fuel to the injectors. The injectors are opened and closed by solenoids controlled by the ECU and that gets information from the accelerator pedal, temperature and revs. A more recent system called "Common Rail" uses a common rail to the injectors and the injectors use piezoelectric actuation of the injectors. This is much faster and so the injectors can be opened briefly at the beginning of the injection cycle to soften the initial combustion and then opened again later in the cycle for the main fuel delivery. This removes the harsh sound of the direct injection engine and can also be used to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxides produced (VW note).

+clarkie005 yeah and no explanation of the low pressure lines on the fuel injectors -- the rest of the items are pretty self-explanatory as mentioned in the video, the name of the part is what it does.

How do the injectors know at what time to squirt, and are direct injectors in the cylinder or behind the valves?

@thedreadedgman

8 жыл бұрын

+Tom Johnson the rough timing is via the injection pump, so the pressure is there in a "wave" around the time the injector needs to be opened to squirt... the exact timing of the injectors are controlled by the engine computer using a map that the manufacturer loaded into it, and several other learned parameters, engine position is usually sensed by crankshaft and camshaft position sensors. And yes the whole point of "Direct injection" is that it's directly injected into the cylinder - the alternative is "port injection" or "throttle body injection", both of which do NOT require the super-high pressure pumps

@dougkelly8854

What is the cause of diesel fuel injection engine is shutoff after long run?

It's interesting as the Diesel CR & DI system actually first arrived which later set the basis for gas engines to follow in the same formula, which in turn gave GDI motors a good boost in power & efficiency over the MPFI gas motors. Pity emissions is all people think about now when I mention the word 'Diesel'.

2:51 That's what she said

Would be good if you could cover the PD injection system. No cheating with that type.

They look like they come from Golf TDi or a Touran TDi. I've been working with VW for quite awhile and seen this system as well. Just one injektor costs about 800 Euros.

Why is the fuel returned to the filter housing?

2 things are wrong, the high pressure pump needs no timing it just makes pressure and the injectors decide the timing. The idle pressure is more less 250bar and WOT makes 1800bar on that specific model on the video.
