It’s well known that diesel engines use a mixture of air and fuel to produce energy. The fuel needs to enter the combustion chamber at just the right time to make sure enough power is generated to make the wheels turn. This can be a surprisingly complicated process filled with many moving parts and …

The injection control pressure (ICP) sensor is a key part of any diesel engine. These systems use high-pressure fuel to generate power and turn the wheels when you hit the gas. The sensor tracks injection control pressure to make sure the system is working at peak efficiency. If some …

When you push the throttle on a turbocharged engine, it may take a few seconds for the torque to kick in. This is what’s known as turbo lag. You should be able to rely on your turbo when you need to accelerate quickly. If the turbo lags, you will need more time to increase your speed. Th …

Diesel engines use high-pressure air and fuel to generate power unlike gas-powered vehicles, which use spark plugs to ignite air and fuel. Maintaining this pressure is a marvel of modern engineering. The engine pressurizes the fuel before injecting it directly into the combustion chamber. …

A high pressure oil pump (HPOP) is a crucial part of any Ford Powerstroke engine. Just like the name implies, it is a high pressure pump that sends oil to other parts of the engine, which provides lubrication. The flow of oil is the river that keeps the engine moving. Without it, the entir …

The 6.0 Powerstroke High Pressure Oil Pump is a key piece of your diesel engine. It pressurizes the oil to make sure the injectors fire correctly. Most HPOPs pressurize the oil using 3,000 PSI, which is used to compress the fuel into the injectors. However, that’s not all these devices are des …
