Well while doing research on the topic, I couldnt find much except an interesting article on how you can get an STD from a koala.

Why this popped up under a google search of "can pandas get hepatitis" is beyond me, but an interesting read none the less.
And here is a more serious article about it if you're truly interested in how the koala struggles with it's std problems.

is it a design spec to make the exhaust as black as possible
It's just how deisel works. it's a more impure fuel, and the black is just unburnt carbon that the air in the motor couldn't fuel. Deisel engines don't have ignition sources, and detonate on heat of compression alone, so at high outputs they don't burn efficiently at all, so all the unburnt carbon escapes as soot. The advantage is that the fuel is cheaper to produce, and no ignition sources means the fuel will always detonate at the perfect time, and thus the flat torque curve that diesel engines give. The disadvantages is that the power just fucks off at the top end and it's dirty as hell. So a Deisel engine usually red lines at 3k. So the sled puller had two massive deisels and one gas motor. Two to get it moving, and the gas motor for high end power
It's why Diesel tanks are labeled Explosive, and gas is just Flammable. Deisel will just blow up when heated, whereas gas needs an ignition source to go off.
[QUOTE=Trilby Harlow;50729615]Trilby tries diesel.[/QUOTE]
Mostly correct in concept, but incorrect in specifics. I'd like to provide some further commentary.
Diesel engines are fundamentally different from gasoline engines in a few major ways:
1) Diesel fuel is inherently less refined and less volatile than gasoline, hence its secondary name: "fuel [I]oil[/I]." It burns more slowly than gasoline, and requires much higher cylinder pressure to ignite. This slow burning limits the theoretical maximum speed the engine can achieve to below that of a gasoline engine, and contributes to a "quick" power falloff at high RPM. To compensate, diesels are usually built with comparatively large strokes to lengthen the amount of time fuel can burn. This has the effect of increasing torque at the expense of maximum RPM.
2) In order to withstand the higher mechanical stresses resulting from a much higher compression ratio (~20:1 diesel vs ~11:1 gas), diesels are built [I]very[/I] sturdy. The rotating assembly (pistons, conn rods, crank) are all much beefier than their gasoline counterparts. This large mass practically limits the maximum speed the engine can achieve. Higher compression ratios also increase the maximum achievable thermodynamic efficiency of the engine. Diesels aren't more efficient because they rev less or burn more completely, they just use the energy in their fuel more efficiently. Redline of diesel engines varies considerably across implementation, but you can expect a modern diesel passenger vehicle to have a redline ~4.5k compared to a gasoline engine's ~7.5k.
3) Diesel engines have their fuel injected into the cylinder [I]as the ignition control mechanism.[/I] Fuel is injected directly into the cylinder and ignites immediately upon entering the cylinder, burning ([I]not[/I] detonating) to produce power. This is in contrast to a gasoline engine using a sparkplug to control ignition of an unburnt fuel-air charge administered by carburetion or some form of rail fuel injection. It's worth noting that many modern engines are shifting to direct injection similar to a diesel's, but the ignition is still provided by a spark plug. Diesel engines require some form of timing advance to maintain optimal performance across operating speeds, just like their gasoline counterparts.
The smoke seen in the video is from incomplete combustion of the injected fuel. In order to make maximum power in any engine you have to burn [I]all[/I] the air in the cylinder, and the easiest way to do that is do dump in a bunch of fuel. Unfortunately this usually leads to a super rich mixture and the incomplete combustion of the excess fuel takes the form of soot. Lots of it. A correctly-tuned high-performance diesel produces very little soot. That isn't much for a show though, so people like to throw away fuel for the sake of penis compensation.

Also, diesel is a much safer substance to transport and use as fuel than gasoline, minus emissions. I have no clue where the idea that diesel fuel is stored in "explosive" marked containers came from. I have literally never seen a diesel tank marked as such, and even the DOT labels it only "flammable."

Well down at Ambleside there's a tank for gas and a tank for Diesel, with the deisel marked "Danger: Explosive", and the gas labeled "Danger: Flammable", so maybe it's a difference in Canadian classification?
Also i've always wondered, since the heat of compression ignites the fuel, how can you have supercharged diesel engines from before EFI? I know a 20:1 is insane, but even then, surely the pressure inside the supercharger would be enough, unless it was so underdriven as to be pointless

There's no fuel inside the supercharger - it's just air at that point, the fuel isn't injected until the cylinder, and only when it's just about at full stroke. So a supercharged diesel just runs at a still-higher compression ratio - higher than would be feasible using just cylinder compression.

Jesus, that thing is a rolling bushfire starter.
I'm not sure I understand the question. Superchargers only provide more air, and don't functionally impact the injection side of things at all. Mechanically injected vs EFI makes no difference in this situation. Mybe you're confused as to whether diesel injection is a new thing? It's the only way (aside from unusual two stroke systems) that diesel engines have ever functioned.
