Is it a good adhesive? Can it be used similarly to "No More Nails"?

I think it is to do with the sound a diesel engine makes - just like a nail being hammered in - such unrefined beasts - stay well away !

There's a term "hosing" which is where an injector puts out the fuel as a jet rather than a fine spray.

Try Googling "diesel nailing" - there are several hits; this site being first :) but then the next one is the Beru (they make injectors) site.

I think it's just another term for knocking.

I think its a bit like the Rugby versus Football thing.

Diesels are hooligans engines driven by gentlemen and petrols are gentlemens engines driven by..........

;-)

I have both for what it's worth !!

It's a term used for poor, knocking combustion in a diesel. It can be caused by incorrect injector timing, poor compressions, and damaged injectors, among other things.
