Gizmag Comment Feed: Diesel used as gasoline 'spark plug' improves economy and emissions http://www.gizmag.com The two engine technologies tend to be regarded as completely separate, so we rarely contemplate how gasoline and diesel can work together. But, in a series of tests conducted at the University of Wisconsin, scientists have used an engine’s fuel injection to produce the optimal diesel-gas mix for any given moment. The results are impressive: an average 20% greater fuel efficiency; combustion temperatures reduced by up to 40%; and effortless meeting of the stringent EPA 2010 emission regulations. Plus, the researchers believe that if their findings were implemented into every gasoline and diesel engine in the US, the savings could be as great as 4 million barrels of oil daily.en gizmag.com Comment on 'Diesel used as gasoline 'spark plug' improves economy and emissions' by Robert Hannent http://www.gizmag.com/diesel-spark-plug-gasoline/12484/#comment-97456 http://www.gizmag.com/diesel-spark-plug-gasoline/12484/#comment-97456 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 08:41:45 -0600 Comment on 'Diesel used as gasoline 'spark plug' improves economy and emissions' by Neil Larkins http://www.gizmag.com/diesel-spark-plug-gasoline/12484/#comment-94954 http://www.gizmag.com/diesel-spark-plug-gasoline/12484/#comment-94954 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 07:41:50 -0600 Comment on 'Diesel used as gasoline 'spark plug' improves economy and emissions' by Abs De Austria http://www.gizmag.com/diesel-spark-plug-gasoline/12484/#comment-59377 http://www.gizmag.com/diesel-spark-plug-gasoline/12484/#comment-59377 Sun, 08 May 2011 23:54:18 -0500 Comment on 'Diesel used as gasoline 'spark plug' improves economy and emissions' by Craig Jennings http://www.gizmag.com/diesel-spark-plug-gasoline/12484/#comment-25198 http://www.gizmag.com/diesel-spark-plug-gasoline/12484/#comment-25198 Tue, 15 Jun 2010 01:05:45 -0500 Comment on 'Diesel used as gasoline 'spark plug' improves economy and emissions' by Will, the tink http://www.gizmag.com/diesel-spark-plug-gasoline/12484/#comment-25186 http://www.gizmag.com/diesel-spark-plug-gasoline/12484/#comment-25186 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 19:07:06 -0500 Comment on 'Diesel used as gasoline 'spark plug' improves economy and emissions' by Uly http://www.gizmag.com/diesel-spark-plug-gasoline/12484/#comment-4528 http://www.gizmag.com/diesel-spark-plug-gasoline/12484/#comment-4528 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:11:31 -0500 Comment on 'Diesel used as gasoline 'spark plug' improves economy and emissions' by Ed http://www.gizmag.com/diesel-spark-plug-gasoline/12484/#comment-4414 http://www.gizmag.com/diesel-spark-plug-gasoline/12484/#comment-4414 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 19:53:24 -0500 Comment on 'Diesel used as gasoline 'spark plug' improves economy and emissions' by TogetherinParis http://www.gizmag.com/diesel-spark-plug-gasoline/12484/#comment-4396 http://www.gizmag.com/diesel-spark-plug-gasoline/12484/#comment-4396 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 04:18:54 -0500
