🔍 Key Concepts

• Compression ignition in diesel engines and why compression pressure/temperature are critical for starting • Effects of lube oil viscosity and pressure on cranking and starting • Meaning of cetane number and how it affects ignition quality

💭 Think About

• When a diesel is cranking but won’t start, what condition is absolutely necessary for fuel to ignite in a diesel, even without a spark? • Which of the listed options would actually PREVENT that necessary condition from being achieved during cranking? • For each choice, ask: does this make starting harder, easier, or mostly unrelated at the cranking stage?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the difference between compression needed for ignition vs. lubrication system conditions that mostly matter after the engine is running • Review the definition of cetane number and whether a higher value helps or hurts cold starting • Think about typical causes of hard starting in real diesel engines: air leaks, worn rings/liners, valve issues, compression loss—which option best matches these?
