Does a diesel run on 24 volts?

No, diesel engines do not run on 24 volts. They run on diesel fuel, which is a type of liquid hydrocarbon.

Here's why:

* Diesel engines are internal combustion engines. This means they burn fuel (diesel) to create energy.

* 24 volts is an electrical voltage. It's used to power electrical systems, like starting motors, lights, and other components in a diesel vehicle.

Think of it this way: Diesel fuel is the "food" for the engine, while electricity is the "power" for the auxiliary systems.
