Show U ip I V DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, as IFrara With some diesel engines now on the car market and others coming down the road, THE BIGGEST difference is that diesels do not have spark plugs or a carburetor. Instead of using a spark to THE HIGH compression ratio requires a stronger and heavier engine block. A typical U.S. car diesel weighs fuel-ai- r a gasoline engine. However, 10 to 20 percent ' less power than a gasoline engine of the same size, so a driver has to adjust to the slower acceleration. ' A diesel wont start until ; Its warmed up, which formerly took a full minute or even more. The newer engines are equipped with a glow plug which warms the unit in a few seconds. A start-liginforms the driver when the car is ready to go. Diesels will not chase away gasoline engines, but their unique sound will be heard more and more often as the years go by, says AIC, but only if the Federal Government permits it. they also have sound-insulati- mixture 500 pounds more than its gasoline counterpart and costs perhaps $750 more. Costs are expected to come ht down when volume increases. A major advantage to a diesel is fuel economy, but 20 to 25 percent better than with THE ENVIRONMENTAL Protection Agency recently proposed strict new emission standards tor aiesei engines in 1983, which the auto makers say they cannot meet. The new rule calls for particulate exhaust emissions of 0.2 grams per mile in 1983, compared with 0.6 grams in 1981. One company said the difference between the 0. 6 and the 0.2 would be about three ounces less dust from a mile-lon- g convoy of bumper-to- -. bumper diesel cars.
