ummm a few wrong things there.Originally Posted by wlee2
1. not all diesels are turbo. the turbo is just there to give it some more pep but are not essential. in fact the 2 diesels i helped do oil changes on today werent turbo
2. they compress the fuel with the air (like any engine). it just happens compression is a hell of a lot higher.
you cant compress just fuel. in fact you cant compress any liquid. its a scientific fact.
the huge compression ratio basically causes it to detonate. its not the air from the turbo otherwise how would the non turbo diesel engines work?
