Brake Specific Fuel Consumption
Power, Load & RPM
How do these factors affect diesel fuel economy?
We've been telling folks for years that in general, a diesel engine produces its best fuel economy when run at or near the RPM that coincides with its torque peak. Whether you're towing a heavy trailer or simply commuting to work, the torque peak RPM is where you'll find the best fuel economy. In June 2006, we dyno tested a new 6.5L "Fuel Mizer" fuel economy engine using Peninsular Engine's calibrated fuel metering and engine dynamometer system in hopes of confirming that fact. Now available to subscribers in the Member's Area (http://www.thedieselpage.com/password.htm).
Coming next month: LB7 Duramax fuel injector replacement & 6.5TD Fuel injection system tech!
