Diesel power wins Le Mans 24 hour race – AGAIN!... 4

The 24 Hours of Le Mans (24 heures du

Mans) is the world’s oldest sports car
endurance race and one of the most
famous and influential in
motorsports history.
winning in 2009. This effort, in development
since 2005, was publicly unveiled in June
2006. It first competed against the Audi R10
TDI, becoming the second diesel engined
sports car from a major manufacturer, and
engine, the maximum size allowed by Le
Mans Prototype rules. Its configuration is a
100° V12, the angle having been chosen to
News
lower the center of gravity. Its output has
been revealed to be over 730 horsepower

The race started in 1923 and has been run
every year since its inception with the
exception of 1936, where the race was not
run due to worker strikes, and 1940 to 1948,
due to World War II.
For the past four years the race has been
won by Diesel Powered cars; 2007 and 2008
by Audi with its R10 TDI, in 2008 by Audi’s
R15 TDI, and in 2009 by a Peugeot 908 HDi
FAP. The Peugeot completed 382 laps, 5206
kms, at an average speed of 216.93 km/h.
Among the three drivers of the winning
Peugeot was David BRABHAM , youngest
son of Australian racing legend
Sir Jack Brabham.
The Peugeot 908 HDi FAP is a sports
prototype racing car built by the French
automobile manufacturer to compete in
the race, starting in 2007 and eventually
then against the Audi R15 TDI. This was
Peugeot’s first Le Mans effort since the end
of the Peugeot 905 project in 1993.
The Peugeot 908 is powered by a twin
turbocharged, 5.5 L (340 cu in) HDi diesel
(540 kW) and 1,200 Nm (890 ft-lb)
of torque.
Engine management systems for the 908
were developed by Bosch, who also
developed the fuel injection system. Oil
systems are developed by technical partner
Total. The electro-pneumatic controlled
gearbox, designed and built by Ricardo is
longitudinal with a maximum of 6 gear
ratios, and the differential is self-locking.
The Le Mans success of Audi and Peugeot
using their highly developed diesel engines
clearly confirms the performance and
reliability of diesel power in today’s world.
Of course, the technology developed on
the race track flows down to production
cars and this is why we enjoy such quiet,
powerful, economical, and reliable diesel
vehicles on the open road.

New 4WD Dynamometer for Tamworth Branch
Diesel Care’s Tamworth Branch has
26 years of Dynamometer experience.
The Dyno has always been an
important part of diagnosing Diesel
engine faults and the trusty 2WD Dyno
we have had for all this time has served
us well, but we saw the need to
upgrade to a more modern unit.
In keeping with the ever changing vehicle
market, with features such as constant
4WD, traction control and ABS braking
systems, all integrated into the vehicle
electronic control system, diagnostics has
become a far more involved process.
So, for more accurate and quicker
diagnostics Diesel Care Tamworth has
recently installed a new Mainline 4WD
dynamometer. This unit is the latest
technology and incorporates many new
diagnostic features.
During a Dyno “run” we can log and store
not only the power and torque of the
vehicle but simultaneously log Turbo
boost pressure, Injection pump internal
pressure, Exhaust temperature, air/fuel
ratio, and duty cycle on a VNT
turbocharger control unit. From this we

diesel powered vehicles, it seemed a

Recently Diesel Care’s Goondiwindi
Branch was accepted into the well
known and respected network of ARB.
The origins of ARB go back to 1975, when
company founder, Tony Brown, was
inspired by a 4WDing trip through the
top end of Australia. Back then, 4WDers
relied on homemade or ill fitting

Dyno is capable of running all 4WD
vehicles, whether rear wheel drive, front
wheel drive or all wheel drive.
Although the Dyno can measure and log
information, there’s more specialist tools
needed to complete the diagnosis suite.
We have specialist tools such as;
• The AECS Oscilloscope
– This Scope is the most advanced and
sensitive available today. It features an
extremely fast capture rate that allows
unparalleled analysis of the wave forms of
any electronic circuit. The modern Diesel
engine incorporates a lot of sensors and
actuators, all which have an influence on
how the electronic system works. These
sensors often operate in very fine voltage
ranges and switch very quickly therefore
requiring a very fast oscilloscope to
diagnose faults.
• The Denso DST-2 Diagnostic

this tool allows the retrieval and clearance
of ECU fault codes, capture of live data,

kinds of conditions.
Tony’s many years spent toiling on his
Series 1 Land Rover proved extremely
beneficial to others in the top end during
his travels. Damaged bull bars and
broken roof racks ensured Tony’s
expertise was regularly called on, and
through this experience an idea was
born – high quality, durable equipment
that would meet the vigorous demands
of 4WD owners.
Upon his return to Melbourne, Tony put
theory into practice, and began working
in the family garage to address some of
the product deficiencies he’d
encountered on his trip. It was exactly
what Australian 4WDers had been
waiting for, and ARB, the initials of

Diesel Care News
POOR QUALITY FUEL: enemy No.1 of diesel fuel injection systems.
The heart of the diesel engine is its fuel injection equipment and the
major enemy of this equipment is poor quality fuel, and contaminated fuel.
The reality is; all diesel fuel is not created
equal. Poor quality fuel can cause
performance issues, premature wear,
gumming of components, and
blocked filters. Contaminated fuel is also a
major cause of problems for fuel injection
equipment, and water is without doubt the
most common form. So how, I hear you ask,
do I safeguard against costly repairs caused
by poor quality or contaminated fuel?
The commandments:
• Buy your diesel from a reputable,
known source rather than shopping for
the lowest price.
• When you are not travelling away from
home, make it a rule to fuel up at the
same location every time. That way, if the
black hand of fate touches you and you
get a tank of bad fuel, you will at least
have a better idea of where it came from.
• Replace fuel filters regularly, don’t wait
until a light on the dash reminds you, by
then it’s too late. Perhaps consider
installing an additional filter/water trap
assembly to your machine or vehicle.
• Drain the water trap/sedimenter if on
your vehicle, it’s of the type that is
separate to the fuel filter assembly.
• Never, never, NEVER use empty
chemical drums to store or transport
diesel. Herbicide; deadly to weeds and
fuel injection systems alike.
• If you have bulk storage, be sure to
drain off water from the low point at
regular intervals. Condensation occurs in
any fuel tank and accumulates at the
lowest point as water. If allowed to
accumulate this water can end up in the
fuel injection system causing serious
damage, or can promote the growth of
algae in the bulk tank itself, and once
established algae can thrive in the diesel.
• Clean, clean, clean: Fuel cannot be
too clean. It should be filtered at every
movement; Bulk tank to fuel trailer, fuel
trailer to tractor tank, tractor tank to
injection system. Go overboard!
Filters are cheap insurance.

• Use a quality fuel additive to improve
lubricity and protect against gumming
and algae. A good one is outlined below.
American manufacturer STANADYNE
(formerly Roosa Master) has been

For the past four years the race has been
won by Diesel Powered cars; 2007 and 2008
by Audi with its R10 TDI, in 2008 by Audi’s
R15 TDI, and in 2009 by a Peugeot 908 HDi

kms, at an average speed of 216.93 km/h.
Among the three drivers of the winning
Peugeot was David BRABHAM , youngest

Sir Jack Brabham.
The Peugeot 908 HDi FAP is a sports
prototype racing car built by the French
automobile manufacturer to compete in
the race, starting in 2007 and eventually
then against the Audi R15 TDI. This was
Peugeot’s first Le Mans effort since the end
of the Peugeot 905 project in 1993.
The Peugeot 908 is powered by a twin
