All diesel engines meet or exceed the new, 1999 low levels of engine exhaust pollution emissions.
Diesel engines require no modifications to use the Montana biofuel, and it dramatically reduces emissions, said Simonson.
Thousands of diesel engines in underground mines will be retrofitted with diesel particulate filters to comply with these regulations.

Diesel engines offer the highest thermal efficiency and the most economical conversion of primary energy into electricity and are also well suited as prime movers in industrial plants.

Diesel engines are cranking up on the tanks to provide turret hydraulic power and I look back to see Wally in the light of our Coleman lantern in the tent stuffing the money back in the briefcase.

Diesel trucks are increasingly popular because their engines are generally more fuel efficient, and provide better torque for pulling loads.
Diesel engines in trucks generally operate at more nearly constant speed and higher load factors than gasoline engines.
Diesel engines are always priced considerably higher than similar-horsepower gas engines, and that price is of course reflected in the price of a diesel-powered genset.

Fortunately, diesels are becoming more affordable as new technology allows manufacturers to reduce both the size and weight of diesel engines while increasing their performance.

Diesel engines used by medium and heavy duty government fleets consume significantly greater quantities of fuel than the light duty passenger vehicles that comprise the majority of the current EPACT fleets.
No diesel engines were available in Britain or from the US, and there was a shortage of ship welding facilities in the British and Canadian shipyards.
