can you use NOS with a diesel engine?

A lot of people inject propane into diesels.  I've never heard of using NOS.  With the high compression of a diesel it could be dangerous.

Yes but first your engine should be in good running order. If your engine is clogged or just runs like S#@T then it won't help much.

Yes, it could.\nIf the 02 sensors are damaged, they should be replaced with new ones.\nIf they are not plugged in, the engines computer cannot correct your air/fuel mixture, which would cause problems.

No. It just wastes more gas, builds up carbon deposits in the cylinders quicker, and tends to make the engine an oil burner.  There are many possible reasons why his is faster, but worse than optimum combustion isn't one of them.

Nitrous Oxide injection will add MAJOR horsepower to your engine for a relatively small price, but it could also blow up your engine if you're not careful with it...

Diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline engines. Also, since diesel fuel evaporates at a higher temperature than gasoline it forms fewer fumes in the air and is less likely to  cause an explosion and fire in an enclosed space. This is why diesel engines are used in submarines and army tanks. Diesel fuel is one of the products made from oil.

Diesel fuel is less combustible than petrol so the engine which burns it is constructed differently. The diesel engine must be built heavier due to the high compression required. The diesel engine needs an injection pump to operate adding more bulk to what already needs to be a heavily constructed engine. A gasoline engine on the other hand, can be built very small and lightweight.\nI suppose though if someone were intent on designing a diesel scooter it could be done.

Diesel engines were built to run on vegetable oil also. But it only works when the engine is at a certain temperater so you have to have to fuel tanks on for diesel and one for veggie oil when the engine reaches the right temp you switch to veggie power. You can buy kits to modify your car this way and there are a few garages that will do it for you.

Please restate, nitrogen 4 oxide N4O is not a common species or do you mean NO2?  For that go to\n\nhttp://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/promgate.html

Naptha (common usage), gasoline, and diesel fuel are both hydrocarbon chains. Naptha has relatively short chains, probably 6 to 7 carbons long. Gasoline is a little longer, in the 8 carbon region. Diesel fuel, yet again longer. I don't know the average carbon length for Diesel, but I'd guess around 10. The longer the chain, the higher the boiling temp, the higher the flash point, the harder it is to ignite, and the higher the viscosity.\n\nNaptha, as a term used in the US (common usage) typically means the same thing as what was most commonly used as lighter fluid in hand held lighters. In some Euporean countries, it's means an easily flammable, volitile petroleum product, of which, gasoline is one.

Biodiesel from Jatropha.\n\nUps: It's really cheap, No replacement or modification of your existing diesel engine.\nDowns: Yet to be Commercially Available.\n\nThere are other ethanol and oil based biodiesel variants available in some parts of the UK and the USA. But to use them, you've got to modify your existing diesel engine.

A long way\n\nI have got a Peugeot 405 turbo diesel and I average about 55 miles per gallon.  Engine is 1905cc - 1.9 (not sure how big in American sizes).\n\nHowever, at 130mph, I only average about 40-45 MPG.\n\nAnything smaller than a 1.8 diesel will struggle to climb and sort of hill

they are a four stroke just like gas engines but gas engines are spark ignition and diesel engines are compression ignition, that is whey there is no spark plugs the heat from the piston compressing the air and fuel mixture gets to a point of explosion and boom down goes the piston and over and over it goes and away you go (Intake compression, power, exhaust)

Yes you do, for a couple of reasons.\n\nFirst, a Diesel engine is more thermally efficient than a gasoline engine.  Therefore it can extract more power from the combustion process than a gasoline engine.\n\n\nSecond, diesel fuel contains more energy per gallon than gasoline.  A gallon of gasoline, when burned, will produce approximately 125,300 BTUs of heat energy.  A gallon of diesel (petroleum based) will produce 138,200 BTUs of heat energy.\n\nB100 is slightly less because B100 has less energy per gallon than petro diesel.  About 8% less energy per gallon, so figure roughly an 8% decrease in economy with B100 vs. petro diesel.
