My father was really good with mechanical stuff but he never even considered teaching us girls about fixing cars and my brothers weren’t interested.

An interesting bonus or benefit in a Diesel engine is that very strong electromagnetic interference in the surrounding area cannot stop the car or truck from running. In a gasoline engine that has the normal ignition system - spark plug, coil, distributor, 'high tension' wires that carry the 20,000 volts to the spark plug - if you drive into an area of high electromagnetic activity or interference, the car will sputter and won't run right, and will possibly stop running altogether. Being stranded on the side of the road unexpectedly is a bummer. There are air vehicles called "ufos" or "uaps" that are actually classified vehicles operated in various countries that have a type of propulsion system which creates a lot of electromagnetic interference in the area they operate, and if you enter such an area, your Diesel car or truck will continue to operate (with the possible exception of the car's lights since the battery and wiring are still affected by the ufo propulsion method). It's a pretty rare event but if you live close to a military installation, in many different countries, that is where those classified vehicles are operating from and if you happen to live near such a base you know what I'm talking about. It's a good feeling driving a diesel vehicle in those areas because you still have freedom of movement if one of those air vehicles is in the vicinity. Much better than having your gas-powered car suddenly sputter and die and then you're stranded and you're walking (or running if you get frightened easily). This is a rare case but if you happen to live near one of those military bases - you probably have had a personal experience or know someone who has. They operate those vehicles all over the place in the U.S., and Central and South America. Probably in Europe too. . .

I can always count on your uploads to be fun and entertaining. You actually cover the questions most people are afraid to ask.

Very interesting and informative video! I knew quite a lot of what was covered, but the depth introduced was impressive in the short length of video. Great job, thank you for the education, cheers!

I was really interested on the power and efficiency discussion on gas versus diesel and would love to see a similar video looking at gas versus diesel, as well as the most common alternative fuels (ie CNG, Bio-diesel, Ethanol, Propane, etc). As gas and diesel prices become increasingly unstable, I can see a lot of people taking alternative fuels a lot more seriously.

I thought I knew quite a lot about petrol an diesel engines. I was wrong! I learned SO much from this video. Thanks 👍👍👍👍

By far the best channel to learn how vehicles work, keep up the amazing work!

Another advantage of a diesel engined vehicle, due to the high compression ratio, is its superior engine braking. I have a Toyota pick-up with a normally aspirated 2.4 litre diesel engine and a 5-speed manual gearbox. I seldom have to use the brakes, because when driving carefully and keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, it's easy to anticipate when one needs to slow done for a traffic light, stop sign or when the vehicle ahead slows down. All that is necessary is to take one's foot off the accelerator pedal and the vehicle will immediately start decelerating. To slow down faster one can change to a lower gear. This lengthens the life of the front disc pads and the rear brake shoes. Also, I seldom use 1st gear. I run out of revs too quickly. The diesel engine provides ample low-end torque to comfortably start moving in 2nd gear. Similarly I usually change from 3rd to 5th gear. The only time I really need 1st gear is when starting to move uphill with a heavy load; and 4th gear when climbing a steep hill, or to accelerate rapidly to overtake another vehicle.

Your videos are incredible! Teaching and speaking in a second language better than most can do in their native language. Keep up the good work.

Exellent with beautiful animations as usual :) I got to learn something new this time too; I've never thought about the timing issue on diesels before. I thought about one more detail which gives diesels an advantage over gas engines: no extra pumping losses on partial gas (no intake restriction).

Every time I watch a D4A video I wonder why this channel doesn't have 3 million subscribers

This is by far one of the best channels on KZread! Thank you!

Outstanding, you my friend are extremely talented, clear and precise description of the difference between engines. and most impressively it didn't feel like a 26min long youtube clip. You would made a brilliant teacher.

this is literally the beste video explaining this that i have ever seen and i looked at alot of them !

We don't really drive many miles, but we bought a diesel for the towing capacity. Our diesel truck can pull 30,000 lbs of trailer, so it tows our 21,000 lb trailer with no trouble. Getting a gasser to do that would be harder. It also turns out to be handy for refueling, since while towing we can't use the "normal" fuel stations/pumps, and instead need the "truck lanes", which (typically, at least) do not offer gasoline. I just hope that when it comes time to sell the truck, it will have retained a good bit of that price premium. Modern diesel engines, with DEF systems, are commonly believed to be far less durable than the older models, so that part of the diesel advantage won't help me. As for "fun", I park the truck and take my bike out of the RV's garage, burning gasoline and making lots of smiles. Thanks for another great video.

I have a brand new training video for my first years, really thorough, accurate clear information. well done. You could put this in a text book it was so clear and concise.

I love the large amount of torque on my diesel engine/car. It means I can cruise comfortably up steep hills without going beyond 2000 RPMs without shifting gears all the time. And at the highway, I can cruise at 130 km/h at 1600 RPMs at the eight gear and have great fuel economy.

You can do the same with petrol cars... And keeping the engine so under revved is not something good. The engine will vibrate more which will wear it more. The dpf will be unable to regenerate and egr valve will start building carbon... Additionaly, these 6+ geared transmissions are also quite dumb. It just increases the number of gear changes, increasing wear and complexity. Youll feel more laggines and hops too...

Another great video. I am a qualified mechanic with some 40 plus years in the trade and it would have been greatly beneficial if my tutors had had the educational vocabulary you demonstrate in your videos. Two comments, when the throttle valve position on a petrol engine is reducing air flow it also has the effect of lowering compression pressure . The other comment is that some petrol engines are also very long lived easily surpassing some diesels. More to do with build quality than fuel type I would suggest. I'm talking automotive here. Keep up the good work.

Great video man, nice and simple explanation. As a employee in one successful car repair shop just wanted to add the huge difference in maintenance and repair prices diesel vs petrol, especially old simple petrol engines, naturally aspirated, port injection.. 4 new injectors and a new turbo cost more than some second hand petrol cars. So even if diesel is more economic and more reliable on long term, it is absolutely stupid to buy a euro 5/euro 6 turbo diesel and drive it around city, making 600km per month, thinking that you will save money on consumption, when you gonna pay many times more on maintenance and repairs.
