With a simple diesel engine compression test, it is possible to spot compression problems before they get worse. Here’s information on these tests and how to decide if it is time to perform one.

In this video, we're doing a detailed comparison of petrol, or spark ignition, and diesel, or compression ignition engines.

Let's discuss something that is well known by diesel mechanics and hard-core enthusiasts but may not be fully understood by new diesel owners or people who may have heard the term "compression ...

Gasoline and diesel engines work on similar principles, but there are some important differences, including the fact that diesel engines don't need spark plugs.

Compression in a diesel engine is essential for effective and efficient performance. And when compression is lacking, damage can result. That’s why it’s imperative to know whether your engine’s ...
