A type of diesel engine or fuel system, named after Rudolf Diesel.
Possibly derived from 'diesel' with German diminutive suffix '-el,' though the exact origin is uncertain. May be a regional or technical variant.
The diesel engine is one of the most important inventions never taught in most history classes—it powers more of the global economy than any other engine type, from trucks to ships to electricity generation.
