The engine is a vehicle’s main source of power and burns fuel to produce mechanical power. You’ll be aware of Diesel fuel for engines as well as gasoline or petrol. But Do You know? That a Diesel engine lasts longer than a Gasoline engine. But why? Today we will look at why diesel engines last longer than gasoline or petrol engines. Before we get started, please follow and subscribe to us. Diesel engines are a great example of engineering capability. Heavy Vehicles including trucks and trains need higher power for a quick ignition spark. So, in such types of vehicles, slow combusting diesel has proven ideal as it is a more efficient fuel. A gasoline car engine can normally run for around 200,000 miles then it needs a serious overhaul or maybe you’ll just need a new vehicle. While in the case of diesel engines, they could continuously run for around 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 miles before needing any major repair work. You’ll be amazed to know that a well- maintained diesel engine can remain on the road for more than 30 years. According to Capital Reman Exchange, a diesel engine’s durability, longevity and reliability lie in three major factors. Which are the design of a diesel engine, the fuel a diesel engine uses, and application in which diesel engines are widely used. The design of a diesel engine is gear driven, so unlike many other parts, gears can be easily fixed and never lose their timing. And for most diesel vehicles they use gear driven water and oil pumps to overcome the risk of major components failing. Whereas gasoline engines use timing belts, pumps, chains and other components that can damage and fail more frequently. You may already know that the Gasoline engine uses spark plugs while a diesel engine has a fuel injector. But did you know? That diesel engines also have great self-cooling, which minimises the chance of overheating. There are multiple sensors, thermostats, and piston cooling nozzles which flow a constant stream of coolant and prevent the engine from overheating. You may be amazed to know that Diesel engines have larger cylinders, crankshafts, and camshafts as well as larger bearing sizes compared to gasoline engines. And that offers more space within the engine so more oil can move freely. Diesel engines use around 15 gallons of oil where a gasoline engine uses around one gallon of oil. According to Indiana Diesel, A Gasoline engine is more acidic than diesel fuel and it can burn at the surface causing corrosion and damage. Gasoline engines generate between 2,500 and 3,500 RPM While a Diesel engine will push between 1,300 and 1,600 RPM. This means a Gasoline engine is roughly two times the number of revolutions per minute than a diesel engine. Which is why roughly 75% of engine wear occurs while the engine is heating up.
