Does this work on diesel engines?

I wouldn't think so. Only due to the fact that they work off of the spark plug wire. As the engine "fires" the electricity through the spark plug wire, this meter keeps track of how long the firing takes place( in Hours). Since Diesel engines work off of pressure to set off ignition, no spark plugs are used, hence no spark plug wires to wrap the "firing probe wire" around.

Yes, the device only measures 'hours' of run time. As an example, it could be used on an electric clock on the wall, a light bulb, gas, electric or diesel engine. It only works when 'movement' is detected thru the electron movement in an attached wire. You are good to go!

This works with an electric signal received from the spark plug cable. It will NOTwork with a diesel since a diesel engine doesn't have a spark plug and a glow plug would not allow for consistent electricity

Hi, Amanda: This hour meter needs the pulse from the spark plug wire to operate. Since Diesel engines don't have spark plugs, you will not get this meter to work on your engine. Gary B.

Haven't used it in a diesel, but don't see why that would matter. It's purpose is to embed in the moving parts in the lower part of the engine. It has worked very well in my vintage Corvette. Had some minor piston slap on starting cold. That appears to be gone after adding XADO to crankcase.

Sorry, I cannot answer that question as I have a 2000 Dutch star diesel. It worked perfectly on it other than I had to replace a couple ends off of old unit.

This part number does not work on diesel engines. For Diesels, you will want to look at part number 26000 for 2001-2010 Duramax diesels, or part number 26010 for 2011-2012 Duramax Diesels. Rob E. Vehicle Programmers

Yes, it will work if you have a newer diesel that doesn't require waiting for the glow plugs to heat up before starting.

If it is a 6.7 diesel it will work, if it is a gas engine I don`t know. I purchased one last fall for my diesel, fit great!

The item's description only says gasoline engines. I don't believe that this compression tester could withstand the extra compression of a diesel engine.

check in programming section some models it can be wired in to work with diesel the settings need to be set in

Hi, this item works on all OBD II Vehicles (1996+ in USA) and EOBD vehicles (Petrol cars from 2001+ and diesel cars from 2003/2004 in Europe), please noted.

No As far as I know it is only for oil in gasoline engines. I have tried it in diesel oil and it doesn't work. Further research shows that there is a product for diesel engines, transmission oil, and coolant

My husband said his boat has a Diesel engine and it worked fine for him.He has a Willard and is very happy withthe Racor.

In the instructions for the 5630 Fuel Pressure Tester Kit under safety precaution the second item states that "Never use Fuel Pressure Tester Kit on Diesel engines!" . This fuel tester kit is not designed to be used on any kind of diesel engines. Tim

no. this pump is for fluid only. it will pump diesel. antifreeze and light to medium viscous oil.

Yes without question. Go to their web page and discovery your answer! I use it on my 2.0 TFSI engine and it improves mileage and reduces engine oil consumption.

HA! Nope.This is a motorcycle battery. You could probably get it to work. You'd need a couple of them to get enough amps to crank the diesel motor.

Yes it should work on filters that are metal(gas engines) or plastic housings(Diesel engines)

Yes I have one in a diesel and one in a gas tank. Just need to check if it will work with your gauge.
