An excellent page, with moving diagrams and charts easily explaining how a diesel engine works (and how it is different from gas engines, as well as the differences in energy potential between gasoline and diesel fuel) is <a href="http://auto.howstuffworks.com/diesel.htm">here</a>.

Another page shows how turbo chargers work, and what the intercooler is doing for you <a href="http://auto.howstuffworks.com/turbo.htm">here</a>.

I just saw a couple questions on this board that those pages would help answer.

:ro)

Cheers,
