Troubleshooting & Repairing Diesel Engines

The compression-ignition (or diesel) engine is an internal combustion device in which ignition of fuel that's injected into the combustion chamber is introduced by a compressed (adiabatic compression) gas's high temperature. That's in contrast to spark-ignition engines like a gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to gasoline) or a petrol engine (gasoline engine), both of which use spark plugs to ignite the fuel-air mixture.
