Meanings
noun

柴油， 柴油燃料.

A fuel derived from petroleum (or other oils) but heavier than gasoline/petrol. Used to power diesel engines which burn this fuel using the heat produced when air is compressed.

Examples :

"My dad's old truck runs on diesel fuel. "
我爸的老卡车是烧柴油的。
fuel substance energy vehicle machine technical industry
verb

自燃，滞燃

For a spark-ignition internal combustion engine to continue running after the electrical current to the spark plugs has been turned off. This occurs when there's enough heat in the combustion chamber to ignite the air and fuel mixture without a spark, the same way that heat and pressure cause ignition in a diesel engine.

Examples :

"The only reason the VW bug has a solenoid is to prevent it from dieseling."
大众甲壳虫使用电磁阀的唯一原因就是为了防止它发生熄火后自燃/滞燃现象。
technical technology machine vehicle energy fuel science physics industry
