Diesel engine is a "compression ignition" engine, so to fire the fuel/air charge it must raise the temperature of the charge to a point at or above the flash point of the fuel/air charge, so the engine "lights off". Typical compression charge temps necessary to hit flash point for diesel is 400

Speaking of what an engines compression should be, I always thought it was the compression ration X atmospheric pressure.  So a engine with 18:1 (as a diesel might be) would look for 18X14.7 (approx) = 264psi or so.  While a gas engine at 7:1 would be ~103.  Is this logical? LarryT 91 300D
