  • Renewable Diesel vs. Biodiesel: What’s the Difference?

    Renewable Diesel vs. Biodiesel: What’s the Difference?

    Renewable diesel cuts hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions, while biodiesel reduces carbon monoxide and particulates. Renewable diesel is a drop-in fuel used in existing diesel engines without modifications, whereas biodiesel is a blend that may require infrastructure adjustments. Biodiesel is typically less expensive than renewable diesel. Several clean diesel fuels have emerged in the search…

  • What Happens If You Put Gas in a Diesel Engine?

    What Happens If You Put Gas in a Diesel Engine?

    Putting gasoline in a diesel engine strips away the fuel’s lubricating properties, causing metal-on-metal contact in the fuel pump and injectors. If the engine is running, gasoline also ignites too early in the compression cycle (pre-detonation), which can crack pistons and damage cylinder heads. The severity depends on how much gas was added and whether…

  • Accidentally Put DEF in My Diesel Tank: What Now?

    Accidentally Put DEF in My Diesel Tank: What Now?

    Putting Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) in a diesel tank contaminates the fuel immediately. The mixture causes corrosion, clogs injectors, and damages pumps, leading to costly repairs. If this happens, do not start the engine, have the tank drained and flushed by a professional mechanic. Diesel engines power construction, farming, and heavy transport, burning large amounts…

  • What is DEF? How Does DEF Fluid Work in Diesel Engines

    What is DEF? How Does DEF Fluid Work in Diesel Engines

    Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) works by being injected into a diesel engine’s exhaust stream, where it converts into ammonia and reacts with nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system. This reaction transforms harmful gases into harmless nitrogen and water, reducing diesel emissions. How does DEF fluid work is crucial in understanding the…
