From Diesel Service & Supply, Inc.
Over the years, numerous aspects of the diesel engine have been subjected to modifications and treatments in attempts to make the engine more efficient. All engines produce power by igniting a mixture of air and fuel to produce energy. In gasoline engines, a spark plug is used to perform the initial ignition. However, in diesel engines, this ignition is performed directly, without the use of a spark plug.
