diesel engine
Noun
an internal-combustion engine in which oil is ignited by compression
diesel engine (d  z l) An internal-combustion engine in which the fuel oil is ignited by the heat of air that has been highly compressed in the cylinder, rather than by a spark. Due to the need for the engine to withstand very high pressures, diesel engines are relatively heavy; however, they are relatively fuel-efficient, especially when running at low power. |  |
