Russian YouTube Channel, Made Up of Engineers, Tries to Convert a Diesel Engine into a Gasoline Engine

Engineers from a Russian YouTube channel called Garage 54 are working hard to try to convert a diesel engine into a gasoline engine. The results of the experiment showed some surprising outcomes, highlights the website Motor1.

What Changed in the Conversion?

Gasoline and diesel engines share the commonality of functioning through internal combustion; however, if you fuel it with the wrong fuel, it can cause devastating damage to the engine.

This illustrates the scale of the challenge the Russian channel faced in attempting the conversion. The challenge was to use a Toyota 2CT turbodiesel engine, taken from a van, to try to make it run on gasoline.

The engineering team began by completely disassembling the engine, cleaning the parts, and measuring the length of the combustion chamber. The compression ratio of diesel engines needs to be higher than that of gasoline engines. A high compression ratio, when using gasoline, can cause an explosion inside the engine.

Aware of the risk of causing permanent damage to the diesel engine, the team significantly reduced the engine’s compression ratio. Modifications were also made to fit the spark plugs found in gasoline engines.

After all the work was done, the engineering team reassembled the engine to begin testing and studying the project. Incredibly, the engine started on the first attempt, functioning relatively well. The issue encountered was low RPM; however, the project is seen as a massive success.

It is currently hard to envision a significant use of this project in the real world. The reason is that governments worldwide are seeking to reduce the use of combustion engines. The expectation for the next 20 years is a huge reduction in the production of combustion engines.
