         A diesel engine converts chemical energy into mechanical energy more than a regular gas engine. The diesel engine works first by sucking air into the cylinder. The air is then squeezed together when the piston is moving. Then fuel is put in just before the piston reaches the top of the cylinder. When put together, it raises the temperature of the air. This causes the fuel to combust. Last, the waste gases are forced out of the cylinder and into the exhaust system. There are four strokes in this process: Stroke 1- Induction, Stroke 2- Compression, Stroke 3- Ignition, and Stroke 4- Exhaust.
