Talk:Dieseling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I would make a note that dieseling usually requires an engine with a carburetor or with mechanical fuel injection, because a vehicle with anytipe of electronic fuel injection will shut off the fuel in the key off position. The former is the case because you can't shut a carburetor off; it runs on vacuum, and uses a mechanical fuel pump run off the camshaft.

[edit] Fuel pump

Some carburetted engines have fuel pumps, but they are often low-pressure.

I'd say that most carburetted engines have fuel pumps. The only exception is small engines with gravity feed. Biscuittin (talk) 21:56, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
