An engine running on diesel compresses the air inside the cylinder to high pressures and temperatures (<a href="/web/20150213035031/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio" title="Compression ratio">compression ratios</a> from 14:1 to 18:1 are common in current diesel engines); the engine generally injects the diesel fuel directly into the cylinder, starting a few degrees before <a href="/web/20150213035031/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_dead_center" title="Top dead center" class="mw-redirect">top dead center</a> (TDC) and continuing during the combustion event. The high temperatures inside the cylinder cause the diesel fuel to react with the oxygen in the mix (burn or <a href="/web/20150213035031/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidize" title="Oxidize" class="mw-redirect">oxidize</a>), heating and expanding the burning mixture to convert the thermal/pressure difference into mechanical work, i.e., to move the piston. Engines have <a href="/web/20150213035031/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glow_plug" title="Glow plug" class="mw-redirect">glow plugs</a> to help start the engine by preheating the cylinders to a minimum <a href="/web/20150213035031/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_temperature" title="Operating temperature">operating temperature</a>.
