The diesel engine can be compared to the popping of popcorn. When popcorn is introduced to heat, the moisture inside causes an explosion, which results in expansion. These results are the same fu

nctions that occur in a diesel engine.

There are many similarities between the gasoline engine and the diesel engine but they are in fact quite different. A gasoline engine intakes a mixture of gas and air, compresses it and ignites the mixture with a spark. A diesel engine takes in just air, compresses it and then injects fuel into the compressed air, the heat of the compressed air lights the fuel. One big difference is in the injection process. Gasoline engines generally either use a carburetor in which air and fuel is mixed long before the air enters the cylinder, or port fuel injection which is when the fuel is injected just prior to the intake (outside the cylinder) Diesel engines use direct fuel injection. The diesel fuel is then injected directly into the cylinder. Diesel engines are also more eff
