FINAL TEST

I. Read the following text and do tasks A and B:

A. Fill in the gaps in the text with the following words:

air; biodiesel; ratio; injection; polluting; durable; spark; diesel;

precombustion; chambers; gasoline; maintenance; sustainable

Both diesel and 1..................... engines have combustion 2. ....................... However, a diesel engine doesnt have a
3. .......................... plug. Instead, it uses hot, 4. .......................... air to ignite the fuel. The air enters the chamber first.
Then the fuel 5............................... pump forces fuel into the chamber. Some have 6.......................... chambers or
7 ............................ plugs that heat up the air to increase efficiency. In gasoline engines, on the other hand, fuel and
8. ...................... are mixed before entering the chamber, though most use a fuel injection pump as well.
9. ......................... engines also have a higher compression 10 .................... . Diesel has a bad reputation because it
doesnt burn as clean as gasoline. New clean diesel is much less 11 ........................... . And 12. ........................... offers
a 13. ................................. fuel option. Its more expensive than gasoline, but provides better fuel economy. Another
thing to remember: diesel engines require less 14. ........................... and are more 15. .............................. .

B. Mark the statements as true (T) or False (F):

1. The diesel engine has a spark plug.

2. The glow plugs increase efficiency.
3. In diesel engines fuel and air are mixed after entering the chamber.
4. Diesel engines have a lower compression ratio.
5. Biodiesel is not as cheap as gasoline.

7. hatchback g. a piece that connects the steering wheel to the pinion
8. spindle h. body of engine
9. steering shaft i. transfers power from piston
10. cast iron j. a gauge that shows engine rotation
