Diesel engines are economical and have a high torque, so many drivers refubinate their cars. Not exception and gazelles. In addition, it is on such cars that the diesel engine provides good traction at low revs. The advantage is that the fuel is flammable without a spark, so in order to start a car when it is stalled, just find a tug. This indicates the independence of the diesel engine from electronics. Change the diesel on Gazelle will not be much difficulty.
First of all, you need to study the engine design, because the diesel is slightly different from gasoline. They are combined by the same pistons, connecting rods and cylinders, however, diesel is able to withstand higher loads due to reinforced valve parts. There is also a separate air and fuel supply. Initially, a compressed air is supplied to the cylinder, which warms up to about 800 degrees, and only after that fuel into the combustion chamber.Installing a diesel engine is not suiced, however pays off very quickly, especially if the gazelle is used as a work vehicle.
