First Day of Class

I'm supposed to enroll in the Gasoline Engine Basic Module since my car runs on gasoline. Unfortunately, the class was already filled up and I have to settle for the Diesel Engine Class. The class only have a limited students at a time to ensure that everyone gets to really focus during the hands- on exercises.
Two of my classmates also came from UP and one of which shares a common friend with me, a brod of mine in CAS.
Five of my classmates were old timers, meaning they have taken modules before and there were only two of us newbies in the class.
All of us share the same passion. To learn more about cars. The symbol for freedom and adventure.

Two Rules:
1.Be safe. You must wear shoes and pants all the time.
2.Don’t be a sissy. You must not be afraid to get down and dirty.

That’s pretty much it.

First Day of Class.
We had a very brief discussion on how Diesel engines came about. Such creation was conceived by the German engineer Dr. Rudolph Diesel. (No, he’s not in any way related to Hollywood star Vin Diesel.) Our teacher differentiated the Diesel engine from the other type of internal combustion engine, the gasoline engine.
In theory, both engines utilize air and fuel in order to produce combustion. However, such transformation from chemical to mechanical energy are done differently. Gasoline engines use spark plugs in order to ignite the fuel and air inside the cylinder. Diesel engines on the other hand only utilizes compressed ( and in the process hot) air to mix with the finely sprayed diesel fuel. Such compression is sufficient for the mechanical components to move.
