In this episode of Diesel Insights, DT's Nick Priegnitz goes into detail about the importance of a diesel engine's air-to-fuel ratio, especially in tuned trucks.
The air to fuel ratio serves a critical role in the efficient operation of a diesel engine. Without the appropriate combination, the engine could fail and burn a piston, for example. In performance applications, the air-to-fuel ratio is manipulated because efficiency is not that important. But for a daily driver - especially one with fuel emission equipment intact - how the air and fuel react to each other is the bedrock of an efficient engine.
But what is fuel to air definition?

Hello, I have a question which i cant find the answer anywhere and i hope you could help me. How does the catalytic converter on a Diesel car, (Diesel oxi cat) work efficient with a λ way to lean ? To get a catalytic converter to work we need a λ from 0.997 to 1.003, so how does it work? Thanks

I’ve got to put head gaskets on my lb7, it has 280,000 miles, should I spend the $700 extra to put in a new cp3 pump while I’m in there or spend the $700 on a good lift pump? Wish I could afford both but can’t, I’m also not having any problems with the existing cp3 pump, it’s just getting old. Thanks for any advice.

chris kriewall Chris, yup, it’s stock. I’ve never done anything to the computer and never pulled much with it, just packing the family around on interstates for 280,000 miles. I love that truck, my kids grew up riding around in it for the past 15 years. Had injectors put in it at 198,000 miles by a factory recall but that’s about it.

Lambda is easy to work with on a computer controlled engine that consistently changes fuel delivery in relation to air intake charge. However, older mechanically injected Diesels unfortunately can't change fuel timing and delivery on the fly, the fuel that is directly proportional to boost pressurized intake charge will be over fueling at idle or half throttle input. So now the burning question is if an older non emissions/lightly emissions regulated Diesel can be a legal swap into a classic vehicle, and still pass an emissions test. I've heard hydrogen injection can vastly improve emissions, I have no idea if they'll allow you to pass a state emissions test using it though.

By very definition you can't overfuel on idle - if you did you wouldn't be at idle anymore, the engine would accelerate. Yes it's possible to run smokefree with a mechanical diesel if the boost compensator is adjusted correctly. But for max performance it should make just a tiny bit of smoke when you press the pedal quickly. It should restrict maximum fuel off boost and slowly increase as boost rises

Sorry, But You're NEVER going to convince me that DPF, EGR, SCR, CAT and DEF is "BETTER" for these Diesel engine's. I don't care what or who's tuning you put into them! In the end, a Deleted Diesel Engine (Tuned or Not) will easily go 500K+ if properly maintained..... You will be hard pressed to find that with all this "Crap" bolted on them. (Sorry, Rant over) Thanks for the video's though, Nick.
