Download this Podcast

This podcast in the BP Podcast Series for 2012 shares critical insights into changes in Diesel Injector Technology. Garry Whitfield, Technical Manager for Group Fuels at BP Australia chats with Mining IQ about the changes in Diesel engine technology that have occurred over the last decade or so. Garry also critically assesses the impact of these changes on modern injection systems. 

The first part of this discussion – under the wider umbrella of Diesel Technology – is the evolution of technology and its progression in the last two decades. So let’s start with an overview of that progression and the journey it has been on.

Questions asked of Garry include: 

1. How has diesel technology evolved throughout the past two decades?
2. Let’s talk through this in more detail: can you explain the main differences between mechanical and modern injection systems? 
3. It is evident that modern injector technology increases fuel efficiency but how has the demands of the fuel changed in response?

Mining IQ thanks Garry and BP Australia for some really interesting insights into diesel technology.
