I can't comment on the name. It might be. but yeah, deisels have a much higher compression ratio than thier gas counterparts. it allows for garanteed compression ignition. They use the "detonation" to their advantage...so to speak. No spark plugs.

I'm no mechanic, I just know what little I've read on them, but I've heard of deisels with a 21:1 CR....crazy..........
