D24TIC Diesel spill pipes, overflow pipes

[slimlavud]

A simple thing but one which might be useful for some of you with diesels. I bought a nice 940 2.4TIC recently which runs very well but smelt of diesel each time I stopped. The spill pipes all looked new but had some weeping aorund where they meet the injectors. I went to my local motor factor and bought 3 feet of 3.2 mm spill pipe - the type with the braided cloth cover is the real diesel stuff, and replaced all of them - 3 feet is only just enough by the way. The old pipe was pretty new but all 3.5mm and just did not seal properly. No diesel smell now and slightly more economical...

A diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition to burn the fuel, which is injected into the combustion chamber during the final stage of compression. This is in contrast to a petrol engine or gas engine using a gaseous fuel, not gasoline, which uses the Otto cycle, in which an air-fuel mixture is ignited by a spark plug. The diesel cycle was invented by German engineer Rudolf Diesel and it has the highest thermal efficiency of any regular internal or external combustion engine due to its very high compression ratio. Low-speed diesel engines as used in ships and other applications where overall engine weight is relatively unimportant often have a thermal efficiency which exceeds 50 percent.
