Title: diesel backfire?
Post by: gaddy on January 09, 2011, 01:22:38 PM
my son is doing a project in school and was told that a deisel can only back fire when going down hill useing compression as a brake. i have limited knowledge on deisels and during our discussion & his further questions we decided to ask the help of some of the mechanics on here. Do desiels backfire and under what circumstances?  Thanks for the help.

I will ask my brother, he is a tech at ford and works almost entirely on diesels.  Neither of my diesels have ever backfired.
