For a spark-ignition internal combustion engine to continue running after the electrical current to the spark plugs has been turned off. This occurs when there's enough heat in the combustion chamber to ignite the air/fuel without a spark, the same way heat and pressure cause ignition in a diesel engine
The only reason the VW bug has a solenoid is to prevent it from dieseling.
A fuel derived from petroleum (or other oils) but heavier than gasoline/petrol. Used to power diesel engines which burn this fuel using the heat produced when air is compressed
a petroleum-based fuel which is burned in engines ignited by compression rather than spark; commonly used for heavy duty engines including buses and trucks
In this type of engine, air is first compressed in the cylinders This heats the air to a very high temperature A mist of diesel fuel is then injected into the cylinders The fuel ignites and a controlled explosion occurs
A class of internal combustion engine in which combustion is initiated by the high temperature of the compressed air in the cylinder rather than an electrical spark
is available at all boat hire companies and some other places IWAI members get 10% discount at most hire companies You can use "green" diesel for the boat, it is about 65 cent per litre Never put Diesel into the watertank or water into the dieseltank
A fuel derived from petroleum but heavier than gasoline/petrol. Used to power diesel engines which burn this fuel using the heat produced when air is compressed
Heavier, less-refined fuel used primarily for large trucks and other heavy equipment Diesel burns more slowly than gasoline, providing a more prolonged explosion in an engine's combustion chambers
