Both diesel and petrol engines are reciprocal types of engines – they are driven by laterally moving pistons and work on the principal of internal combustion, where burning a mixture of air/fuel within the cylinders, creates mechanical energy via a series of explosions. How Does a Diesel Engine Work? For a diesel engine to function, the intake valve opens which allows air to enter, then the piston goes down. The piston […]
